Estudo biográfico deste distinto clérigo e político prestigioso do Ceará e sua participação na emancipação de municípios do interior do Estado. Contém contribuição para a história do Ceará, incluindo episódios das secas de 1877-1879.

Abstract
The family Bessa in the State of Ceará, Northeast Brazil, always treated with reverence the memory of one of its late members, a catholic priest who had adopted some orphan nephews and then given rise to descendants spread throughout the country. Curious about such a story, I tried to investigate why that priest was so much important as to justify his place in posterity. I found out that he had been a prestigious and active politician responsible for creating parishes and municipalities. He was smart enough to use his verbal skills and intellect to lead his flocks and pursue well definite objectives. Contrary to most of his contemporary colleagues in the Catholic Church, priest Francisco Bessa always kept his vow of celibacy and really practised charity by spending his personal wealth to support the needy, specially those of his own family. The last years of his lifetime were devoted to emancipate his new dwelling place in terms of municipal autonomy and support his favorite grandson-nephew on whom he bestowed still in life most of his assets.
