Abstract
This article deals with the missionary work of the Society of Jesus in today’s Micronesia from the 17th to the 20th century. Although the Jesuit missionaries wanted to reach Japan and other Pacific islands, such as the Palau and Caroline archipelagos, the crown encouraged them to stay in the Marianas until 1769 (when the Society of Jesus was expelled from the Philippines) to evangelize the native Chamorros as well as to reinforce the Spanish presence on the fringes of the Pacific empire. In 1859, a group of Jesuit missionaries returned to the Philippines, but they never officially set foot on the Marianas during the nineteenth century. It was not until the twentieth century that they went back to Micronesia, taking charge of the mission on the Northern Marianas along with the Caroline and Marshall Islands, thus returning to one of the cradles of Jesuit martyrdom in Oceania.

Abstract
This chapter provides valuable information about the economic and political activities of the lawyer Don Juan de Padilla, one of the first creole administrators of New Granada and Lima’s Real Audiencia in 17th-century Peru. Traditional historiographical narratives described Padilla as an exemplary man whose concern for the indigenous population led him to write the famous Parecer (Lima, 1657). My research shows, however, that Padilla’s privileged position as a public officer allowed him to divert public attention away from the scandals that took place in his household. I also suggest that Padilla’s defense of Jesuit missionary activity in Peru must be framed within the Crown’s struggle to resume full jurisdiction over the indigenous populations in the Viceroyalty of Peru, although these efforts often diluted the power of local bishops and priests in indigenous parishes.
