AGUIRRE SALVADOR, Rodolfo. Church subsidy and Philip v's politics in the Indian Church: a path to explore. Tzintzun. Rev. estud. históricos [online]. 2014, n.60, pp.45-73. ISSN 2007-963X.

The main goal of the present paper is to demonstrate that the study of church subsidies constitute a viable investigation line and path in order to find out more about church policies and the New Hispanic Church in Philip v's era, a period that has been little studied. In that regard, it needs to be pointed out that in the historiography of the modern era of Spain, Philip v's reign is generally labelled as a "projectist" period, meaning that it welcomed the irst attempts to carry out reforms. hese reformist tendencies need to be linked with the events of the so-called Western Indies in the same period, as serious attempts to change church policies can be observed here. In this sense, the study of the introduction of church subsidies, as well as its consequences in the New Hispanic church and clergy, can be a feasible path as it closely shows the formulation of the first reform plans of the Bourbons towards the Indian Church in the first decades of the 18^th century.

Keywords : Philip v; church subsidy; Archbishopric of Mexico; documentary sources; 18^th century.
