Resumen
Bishops and archbishops from Mexico's Ecclesiastical Province had full jurisdiction over indigenous peoples, and therefore they dealt with offences relating to customs and those against Catholic faith in their courts. This article discusses the relationship between Mexico’s Archbishopric's Ecclesiastical Court and the Indians, and, within this relationship, analyses the fashioning of the court specialized in naturales (i.e. Indians) until 1630, springing from a hundred years old tradition. It is shown that archiepiscopal policy was fundamentally oriented towards the “reform of customs” of naturales, in order to draw up a set of moral practices akin to those of the majority of New Spain's population. Moreover, this paper shows as well that it is not possible to confirm the existence of an inquisitorial institution that acted against the Indians during this time, despite the enforcing of campaigns to eliminate idolatrous practices, which in themselves were very limited in their jurisdictional, spatial and temporal application.

Resumen
This paper locates the need for the creation of New Spain's Consulate within the frame of the mercantile economic expansion that took place in the viceroyalty in the middle of the sixteenth century. The authorization for its creation in Mexico City is attributed to the central role played by its merchants as financiers in the mining industry, coining, and silver mining in particular, as well as to the shortage of money faced by the Spanish Crown at the end of the sixteenth century. Mercantile corporations allowed the consolidation of the commercial monopoly of New Spain's capital, thus giving rise to conditions that ensured commerce across the Atlantic and the growing flow of silver to the metropolis.
