Fighting to the Death
摘要
This chapter focuses on the Archbishop of Manila, Felipe Fernández de Pardo (1677–1689), the tenth head of the Archdiocese of Manila and the third Dominican to hold the post since the government of the Dominican Bishop Domingo de Salazar (1579–1594). My aim is to explore contingency, negotiation, and micro-level political constellations as a means of understanding the conflicted relationship between the church and state in the Philippines. Specifically, I examine how anti-Jesuit sentiment—intensified by the arrival of the apostolic vicars of the Congregation of Propaganda Fide in Manila in the early 1670s—shaped evangelization policies.
