ENRIQUEZ, Lucrecia Raquel. Papal Reserve or Sovereign Attribution? The Conception of Patronage in Dispute. Chile and the Holy See (1810-1841). hist.crit. [online]. 2014, n.52, pp.21-45. ISSN 0121-1617.

This paper focuses on the various concepts of patronage that were held in Chile after the formation of the ¡unta Gubernativa of 1810 and the relation with the Holy See in the context of the exercise of republican patronage. The concepts patronage, papal concessions, or sovereign attributions inherited from the Spanish Monarchy were complemented by the Holy See's own concept of Papal Reserve which, starting in 1830, was imposed in Episcopal appointments. In this context, the author analyzes the way Chilean governments executed republican patronage, recognized as a sovereign attribute in the Constitution of 1833.
