Overview: The Military Orders and the Portuguese Expansion (15th to 17th Centuries), a new book by Fernanda Olival, deconstructs the hitherto dominant thesis of a major involvement by the Portuguese Military Orders in the unfolding of the Portuguese Expansion to North Africa and across the seas. In fact, from the fifteenth century onward these rich institutions typically refused to wage war as corporate entities, despite appeals to this effect by kings and popes. The author shows that the patronage of the Order of Christ over ecclesiastical appointments across a vast swath of the globe resulted from a circumstantial interplay of Portuguese diplomatic interests, and was not very effective even during the peak period of 1456−1514. The creation of the bishopric of Funchal (1514), which served as a model for other Portuguese overseas bishoprics, marked a rupture and transformed the emergent pattern associated with the Order of Christ into a very limited presence. In the sixteenth century, when overseas bishops were authorized to appoint clerics, this did not mean that clergy born in colonial areas enjoyed expanded access to vicarial posts. Their struggle over appointments was intense, began in 1513, and endured into the eighteenth century. The patronage of the Order of Christ was only maintained because the kings, as Masters of the Order from 1495 onward, had a keen interest in overseas tithes. Such funds namely covered many expenses other than strictly ecclesiastical ones. With the end of Portuguese maritime protectionism (mare clausum policy), the Iberian patronage mechanism faced vigorous competition from missionaries sent out by the Roman Sacra Congregatio de Propaganda Fide (a congregation of the Roman Curia responsible for missionary work). Such competition paradoxically helped to preserve the Portuguese pattern of ecclesiastical patronage, characterized by a continued nominal involvement of the Order of Christ.
