This article analyzes the controversy over the publication of Friar Maturino Gilberti’s book Diálogo de doctrina Cristiana en lengua Mechuacán, a dispute sparked by Michoacan’s first bishop, Don Vasco de Quiroga, wich could not be settled until long after his death. This legal conflict will allow us to understand the decisive role played by ecclesiastic courts, both in and out of New Spain, to resolve the dilemmas faced by pastors when translating sacred and doctrinal texts into the indigenous languages.
