| Summary: | Neste artigo procura-se analisar a forma como a Coroa portuguesa se serviu do Padroado da Igreja para os fins políticos de estabelecimento e sustentação da presença colonial portuguesa. The essay seeks to analyse how the Portuguese Crown Patronage of the Church in the East served as a useful political tool for the establishment and sustenance of the Portuguese colonial presence. The dominant historical perspective about this institution in Portugal does not present the State-Church relationship in the same way as viewed by many Indian scholars and political authorities. This papers presents the Indian perspective, tracing briefly the political engagements of the Padroado missionaries in India, from the early centuries of the Portuguese colonial presence till the final phase as represented by the Archbishop-Patriarch D. José da Costa Nunes. This essay also brings a fresh interpretation of the motivations behind the convocation of the 6th Church Provincial Council held in Goa in 1894-95, and seeks to analyse the political exploitation of the cult of St. Francis Xavier as a strategy of compensating for the political decline of the Portuguese in the context of the growing British colonial control in India. |
