Descripción
Sumario:This article comparatively analyzes the characteristics of the communication of information of the religious orders between their missionary provinces and their Roman headquarters. We study the unexplored interregional similarities in the functioning of the different provinces of a same order and we establish similarities, differences and nuances in the treatment different religious orders gave to their internal communication. The first section deals with the debate on the limitations of written documentation and the growing need to send informants that would transmit the situation of the provinces directly. The second delves into the mechanisms of selection of informants, the "procurors", and the way in which they were expected to transmit the information. The third and fourth sections study the role of these figures in the face of frequent irregularities in the provinces and how they were expected to express diversity of opinions at the local level. The last section proposes a comparison of the Jesuit communication practices with the Franciscans and Mercedarians.
