| Resumo: | This study is an approach to a clergy sector of New Spain generally unnoticed: that one dedicated to provide the sacraments in Indian languages. Secondary characters in Church hierarchy, generally subdued to titular priests, their parochial tasks, however, were of first importance. These clergymen lenguas were devoted to the communication with the Indians, guaranteed the possession of parishes in the hands of secular clergy and helped to prepare the way for the secularization of the doctrines. Their religious and political importance was such that to the middle of eighteenth century over 50 per cent of the archbishopric clergy had a minimum knowledge of one or more native tongues. In contrast their educational and material situation was not the best: they lacked of personal patrimony and basic academic formation; extremely busy in traveling to far away villages and the possibility to continue their studies, they hardly could achieve the merits and relationships to ascend to parishes titularity and even less to prebends. |
