Archbishops and Cathedral Chapters of the Colonial Philippines

Zusatztext

This volume analyzes the religious history of the early modern Philippines. It examines the unstable authority of its archbishops and the preeminence of the Manila cathedral chapters in the second half of the seventeenth century. In particular, it considers these phenomena during the various convoluted periods of vacant sees, paying special attention to the dynamics of promotions within these collegiate bodies.
