Summary
For 300 years, Franciscans were at the forefront of the spread of Catholicism in the New World. In the late 17th century, Franciscans developed a far-reaching, systematic missionary program in Spain and the Americas. After founding the first college of propaganda fide in the Mexican city of Querétaro, the Franciscan Order established six additional colleges in New Spain, ten in South America, and twelve in Spain. From these colleges Franciscans proselytised Indians in frontier territories as well as Catholics in rural and urban areas in 18th-century Spain and Spanish America. This work studies these colleges, their missionaries, and their multifaceted, sweeping missionary programs.
