Accordingly, this investigation begins by examining the historical matrix of fifteenth-century and early sixteenth-century Spain to properly contextualize Las Casas’s early life and certain initial colonial institutions of the Spanish Indies. Similarly, his juridical expertise is firmly rooted in an explication of his contemporaneous formation in canon law and theology. From these foundational strands of his life and work, his maturing juridical voice spoke most decisively in certain of the major debates among Spanish jurists, theologians, and politicians—as well as in the Brevísima relación—in the wake of the Iberian “discovery” of what was for all concerned a physical as well as philosophical “New World.” iv The combined focus of subsequent chapters elucidates the fundamentally juridical dimensions of the text, beginning with the specific context accompanying its genesis in 1542 until its publication a decade later. The treatise’s legal character as an official publication based on various evidentiary sources is further revealed by the text’s triple function—to inform, to denounce, and to petition, which in turn corresponds to the genres of relaciones, denuncias, and peticiones of the civil juridical tradition. The Brevísima relación’s content unveils far more than this; the epistemological rationale and analytic framework are intimately linked to canonistic, Thomistic, and biblical genres of the ecclesial juridical tradition. Continuing this historical investigation, the concluding chapter demonstrates anew the fundamental grounding of Las Casas’s approach in the vibrant first generations of juristic discourse of the so-called Spanish colonial era. His multifaceted juridical voice was distinctively encoded in a powerful melding of civil and ecclesial legal traditions. This dissertation intends to communicate this voice intelligibly with the proper accents of the past. v CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: David Thomas Orique GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOLS ATTENDED: University of Oregon, Eugene Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, CA Instituto Teológico de San Esteban Universidad Pontificia, Salamanca, Spain Universidade dos Açores, Ponta Delgada, Portugal California State University, Fresno Reedley Junior College, Reedley, CA DEGREES AWARDED: Doctor of Philosophy, History, 2011, University of Oregon Master of Arts in History, 2007, University of Oregon Master of Arts in Theology, 2001, Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology, Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley Master of Divinity in Theology, 2001, Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology, Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley Bachelor of Science in Business, 1986, California State University, Fresno Associate of Science in Agriculture, 1980, Reedley Junior College AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST: Early modern colonial Latin American and European history Modern Latin America Latino-Luso theological and cultural history PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Graduate Teaching Fellowship, Department of History, University of Oregon, Eugene, 2006-2011 Campus Associate of Newman Center, University of Oregon, 2005-2006 Director of Newman Center, University of Oregon, 2003-2005 vi Associate Director Newman Center, University of Oregon, 2001-2003 GRANTS, AWARDS, AND HONORS: Richard Maxwell Brown Award (Mexico), UO History Department, 2010 PhD Research Grant (University of Florida), UO History Department, 2010 PhD Research Grant (Mexico), UO History Department, 2009 Maxwell Angus Award (Yale), UO History Department, 2008 Summer Research Grant (Yale), UO History Department, 2008 Kislak Short Term Fellowship, Library of Congress, Kluge Center, 2007 Special Research Award (Library of Congress), UO History Department, 2007 Graduate Teaching Fellowships, UO History Department, 2007 to date D'Onofrio Academic Achievement Scholarship (highest GPA), Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology, Berkeley, CA, AY 1999 Luso-American Educational Foundation Annual Studies Scholarship (Luso- American Students of Promise), Bay Area, CA, 1999 PUBLICATIONS: Orique, David. “Bartolomé de Las Casas and Junípero Serra: the Two Poles of the Evangelization Enterprise,” forthcoming in Anuario Dominicano, Querétaro, Mexico, 2011. _______. “Las Casas's Confesionario,” forthcoming in Derek Malone-France, ed., Political Dissent—A Global Reader, Vol. 1: Ancient to Early-Modern Sources.

INTRODUCTION In 1810 there began in Colombia, as in most Latin American countries, the process leading to independence from Spain.1 Though this process necessarily and permanently altered relations between Spanish rulers and their former subjects in America, the separation did not bring immediate radical changes in relations between the Catholic Church and the emerging republics. Those changes came about gradually as a result of developments within Colombia in particular and throughout Latin America generally. Spain determined in the New World that the Catholic Church was the only recognized and established religion. With independence in the nineteenth century, the new authorities maintained the same state- religion model.

  • 1 Introduction 2 the New Religious Orders 3 the Council of Trent And
    NOTES 1 Introduction I. This term designates first of all the act of 'confessing' or professing a par­ ticular faith; secondly, it indicates the content of that which is confessed or professed, as in the Augsburg Confession; finally then it comes to mean the group that confesses this particular content, the church or 'confession'. 2 The New Religious Orders I. The terms 'order' and 'congregation' in this period were not always clear. An order usually meant solemn vows, varying degrees of exemption from the local bishop, acceptance of one of the major rules (Benedictine, Augustinian, Franciscan), and for women cloister.A congregation indicated simple vows and usually subordination to local diocesan authority. A con­ fraternity usually designated an association of lay people, sometimes including clerics, organized under a set of rules , to foster their common religious life and usually to undertake some common apostolic work. In some cases confraternities evolved into congregations, as was the case with many of the third orders, and congregations evolved into orders. 2. There is no effort here to list all the new orders and congregations that appeared in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. 3. An English translation of Regimini Militantis Ecclesiae, the papal bull of 27 September 1540 establishing the Society ofJesus, is found in John Olin, The Catholic Reformation: Savonarola to Ignatius Loyola: Reform in the Church, /495-1540 (New York: Harper and Row, 1969), pp. 203-8. 3 The Council of Trent and the Papacy I.

  • ROBERT BRIAN TATE Robert Brian Tate 1921–2011
    ROBERT BRIAN TATE Robert Brian Tate 1921–2011 Life BRIAN TATE WAS A MAJOR FIGURE IN Hispanic studies, as much at home in Catalan and Latin as in Spanish. He was born in Belfast on 27 December 1921 and died on 21 February 2011. He was educated at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution: the school was unusual in offering Spanish at this period, and produced a number of eminent Hispanists (among them F. W. Pierce). In 1939 he began studies at Queen’s University, and in his second year left for war service in India, Nepal and Burma; while out east he began learning Arabic. In the company of General Slim he was one of the first to enter Rangoon in 1945. On graduation in 1948 with a first in French and Spanish, his teacher Ignasi González i Llubera (1893–1962) encouraged him to go to Barcelona and Girona (in Catalonia) to do research. (This was early in the Franco regime, when Catalan politics and Catalan studies in general were suppressed.) His MA thesis at Queen’s University was ‘The Life, Works and Ideas of Cardinal Margarit’ (1949), and his PhD (also Queen’s University, 1955) was ‘The Influence of Italian Humanism on the Historiography of Castile and Aragon during the Fifteenth Century’. After teaching at Manchester (assistant lecturer, 1949–52) and Queen’s (lecturer, 1952–6) he was appointed reader at Nottingham in 1956 and was professor (indeed, the first professor of Spanish at Nottingham) from 1958 to 1983; dean of the faculty of arts 1976–9; professor emeritus in 1991.

  • A Prophetic Challenge to the Church
    15-10-13 A Prophetic Challenge to the Church A Prophetic Challenge to the Church: The Last Word of Bartolomé de las Casas Luis N. Rivera-Pagán We were always loyal to lost causes . Success is for us the death of the intellect and of the imagination. Ulysses (1922) James Joyce Perhaps there is a dignity in defeat that hardly belongs to victory. This Craft of Verse (1967) Jorge Luis Borges To see the possibility, the certainty, of ruin, even at the moment of creation; it was my temperament. The Enigma of Arrival (1987) V. S. Naipaul To the memory of Richard Shaull (1919-2002), first Henry Winters Luce Professor in Ecumenics When things fall apart In 1566, after more than five decades of immense and exhausting endeavors to influence and shape the policy of the Spanish state and church regarding the Americas, years of drafting countless historical texts, theological treatises, colonization projects, prophetic homilies, juridical complaints, political utopias, and even apocalyptic visions, Bartolomé de las Casas knows very well that the end is at hand: the end of his life and the end of his illusions of crafting a just and Christian empire in the New World. It is a moment of searching for the precise closure, the right culmination and consummation of a human existence that since 1502 had been intimately linked, as no other person of his time, to the drama of the conquest and Christianization of Latin America, a continent, as has been so aptly asserted, “born in blood and fire.” He painfully knows that there will be no time to finish his opus magnum, the History of the Indies.

Still, having trusted in 3 the protection of that mercy, which makes eloquent the tongues of infants—nay, Sap. 10:21 4 even makes them shine openly for the nations, I do dare take up (with the cf.

Goizueta, Ph.D. Committee Member ii ABSTRACT HONOR AND CARITAS: BARTOLOMÉ DE LAS CASAS, SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE, AND THE CONQUEST OF THE AMERICAS Name: Costello, Damian Matthew University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. William L. Portier This dissertation - a postcolonial re-examination of Bartolomé de las Casas, the 16th century Spanish priest often called “The Protector of the Indians” - is a conversation between three primary components: a biography of Las Casas, an interdisciplinary history of the conquest of the Americas and early Latin America, and an analysis of the Spanish debate over the morality of Spanish colonialism. The work adds two new theses to the scholarship of Las Casas: a reassessment of the process of Spanish expansion and the nature of Las Casas’s opposition to it. The first thesis challenges the dominant paradigm of 16th century Spanish colonialism, which tends to explain conquest as the result of perceived religious and racial difference; that is, Spanish conquistadors turned to military force as a means of imposing Spanish civilization and Christianity on heathen Indians.
