Default Re: What kind of Catholic are you?
Marco Pollo: in Portugal, "Old Christian" (cristão-velho) used to mean all those who were originally christians from the time of the reconquista, before the forced conversions of some mozarabs and the expelling of the moors and jews.

New Christians (cristãos novos) were not necessarily of non-spaniard racial type (mozarabs were in fact of european stock but of muslim religion).
