HERNANDEZ MENDEZ, Sebastián. Patronage in the Founding of the Diocese of Montevideo: the Case of the Ecclesiastical Council and the Conciliar Seminary. []. , 52, pp.153-175. ISSN 0121-1617.

This paper is about how the office of the Bishop was managed and the Diocese of Montevideo created (1878) during the administration of coronel Lorenzo Latorre, considering how the government, the Church in Uruguay, and the Holy See in Rome contributed to its success. It analyzes the difficulties of installing the Ecclesiastical Council and the Conciliar Seminary, as disposed by the Papal Bull at the beginning of the 19^th century. The paper shows how the sustained right of Patronage of the State conditioned the institutional development of the Montevideo Diocese.
