A harmadik limai zsinat és az egységes evangelizációs rendszabályok a perui egyháztartományban
The Third Council of Lima and the Unifi ed Evangelistic Norms in the Ecclesiastical Province of Peru

Summary/Abstract: The Third Council of Lima (1582–1583) was a significant provincial assembly for South America, especially because it drew up an important policy statement for indigenous Christianisation in the ecclesiastical province of Peru. The provisions made by the council corresponded to the policy of the Spanish monarch in the late 16th century, aiming at the regulation of the administration of the colonies in the New World. Also, the celebration of the Council of Trent, which had closed its sessions in 1563, induced a revision of the Church’s guidelines in Hispanic America. These circumstances encouraged a rigorous Christianization policy for South America, which was the most important outcome of the Third Council of Lima.
