In the Early Modern Age, the Iberian Monarchies used the Church as a mean of asserting more effectively their authority. In this process, which historiography calls confessionalization, one of the most important tools was the control over the episcopal nominations. The right of patronage over all bishops\u2019 elections served within a system of projecting the royal authority, not only by reinforcing the institutional presence of the Kings\u2019 authority in all territories, but also in supporting certain individuals or groups that deserved the Royal favour, increasing relations of fidelity and submission, within all political agents. In the Empires, the bishops\u2019 presence and the formation of Dioceses followed closely the rhythms of both Expansion processes, erecting new cathedrals in territories that needed to be reorganized administratively, reinforcing the institutional presence of the political power and its capacity to intervene in local governing.<\/p>\n

Within this framework, the present project aims to study the episcopate appointed for the archdiocese of Goa, and the dioceses of Malaca, Macao and Funai (Portuguese padroado) and the archdiocese of Manila, and the dioceses of Nueva C\u00e1ceres, Nueva Segovia, Ceb\u00fa (Spanish padroado) between 1558 and 1658, representing 48 appointments (22 for the Portuguese dioceses and 26 for the Castilian Dioceses). It is objective to analyse how the diocesan network and the sending of bishops was an important tool for the construction and better perception of the Imperial territories, by both crowns. At the same time, this project aims to observe the evolution of each diocese in the symbolic economy of the two monarchies, through the analysis of individual cases that are better representatives of certain aspects of the episcopal power.<\/p>\n
