Abstract

During the Philippine epoch the Holy Office underwent several institutional and sociological changes that survived the plot of December 1640. This paper will focus on the development of the office of the Grand Inquisitor and the General Council, as well as the communication mechanisms established between the governing bodies of the Holy Office (which remained in Lisbon) and the Crown, at the time mostly based in Madrid. In parallel, it analyses the general features of the power relationships between the Holy Office and the other ecclesiastical (bishops, chapter and collector) and secular institutions (high courts and councils). Finally, it describes the political actions of the ministers of the Inquisition during the crises of 1580 and 1640.
