Abstract

The aim of this article is to examine the relations of the Jesuits of Paraguay with the Inquisition, based on two specific cases that occurred in the phase prior to the creation of this Jesuit province. The protagonists are Fathers Manuel Ortega and Francisco de Angulo. The first, belonging to the first triad that arrived in the Guayrá region, was accused of solicitation and the other, as the first superior of the mission of Tucumán, was appointed commissioner of the Holy Office. We analyse the events and actions in which they took part, as well as the causes of the rapprochement between the institutions, in order to question the existence of a correlation of events which were not alien to their respective centres of dependence, but with their own American nuances.
