portuguesA agregacao de Portugal a Monarquia Hispânica gerou um problema na comunicacao entre a Inquisicao portuguesa e a Coroa, na altura sediada em Madrid. Para evitar a constante intervencao do Conselho de Portugal e dos vice-reis nas questoes do Santo Oficio, a Inquisicao tentou estabelecer vias de comunicacao direta com o monarca. A mais original foi a integracao dos validos e dos secretarios de Estado na propria instituicao inquisitorial. Apos a Restauracao, os secretarios de Estado continuaram a desempenhar o cargo de secretarios do Santo Oficio ate 1736, o que demonstra a eficacia de algumas inovacoes institucionais da epoca filipina. EnglishThe integration of Portugal in the Hispanic Monarchy caused a problem in the communication between the Portuguese Inquisition and the Crown, at the time located in Madrid. To prevent the constant intervention of the Council of Portugal and the viceroys in the matters of the Holy Office, the Inquisition tried to establish several ways to communicate directly with the king. The most original was the integration of the favorites and the secretaries of State in the inquisitorial institution. After the Restoration, the secretaries of State conserved the position of secretaries of the Holy Office until 1736, demonstrating the efficiency of certain institutional innovations of the Philippine period.
