My conclusion is that the place is real, and has some kind of interesting
history relating to the church and women, but unsure if the Mirror article
about the present day demand for men willing to submit to their rules is
verifiable. It really needs a Portuguese speaker to decide that as that's
the language the source material is in.

And if so, should there be a Wikipedia entry about it? I started to draft
one but am a little worried because there seems to be only one article about
this mysterious town. Hoax, maybe.
