The Consejo Real, a higher council than the Consejo de Indias, invited Cristobal del Viso, Franciscan Comisario General de Indias, to comment on the dispute. He was familiar with the defects of the friars in Florida, responded Viso. Clearly, the ailments of the doctrinas in the Indies were chronic and incurable. For that reason, he said, the Order of the Friars Minor had in its recent chapter general voted to surrender to His Majesty every one of their doctrinas in all the Indies and ask him to replace the friars with secular priests (Viso, 1682). At the time, the Franciscan Order had, in Hispanic America alone, 18 provinces and 2 custodies, 449 convents, and 4842 friars with whom to stage a walkout.
If Governor Juan Marquez Cabrera thought that the king would thank him for adding to the Crown's problems with this powerful body, he was mistaken. AN211
