This book combines contributions on the Padroado [patronage] and on missions, revisiting concepts and perspectives on the subject.
A number of different aspects are dealt with, such as cult and religiosity; art and culture; the missions and the empire; the relations between the monarchy and the Holy See and between the Padroado and De Propaganda Fide; the formation of the native clergy and the action of the catechists, the creation of seminaries and the troubled path of the Padroado's strategies; the pathways of power and the institutional confrontations, the facts and the doctrines.
