| description | This dissertation analyses the role of bishops of eight dioceses created in Asia (Goa,
Malacca, Macao and Funai and Manila, Cebu, Neuva Cáceres and Nueva Segovia) for
the consolidation of the Royal Power of the Iberian crowns between 1558 and 1668. To
deal with this issue, this thesis looks at the creation of bishoprics as part of the
territorialisation strategies of the Iberian monarchies. It understands the episcopal
appointments in the context of the so-called “economia de mercês” (i.e. a system based
on the principle that kings used royal appointment to promote loyalty between them and
their subjects). And it analysis the transfer of legal frameworks and ecclesiastical
institutions, particularly the cathedrals and the parishes, from Europe to Asia. The
chronological period includes two important milestones that had a major impact on the
dimensions just mentioned. The first is related to the Iberian Union, when the Iberian
crowns became subject to the same monarchs. The second is related to the foundation of
Propaganda Fide in 1622, which corresponds to the affirmation of Rome's direct
intervention in missionary areas, which was visible from very early on in the Estado da
Índia. Using mostly documents from Portuguese, Spanish and Vatican archives, while
taking advantage of the comparative perspective methods, I’ll argue that despite various
limits, the episcopate was a central pillar in the consolidation of power of the Iberian
monarchies, which were particularly dependent on the bishops in these regions, given the
absence of many other structures that guaranteed the preservation of royal authority. It is
in the tension between the project of consolidating authority and political dominance and
the resistance and limits it faced that this thesis is developed. |
