| 總結: | This paper analyzes the settelment of new religious orders -Jesuits, Mercedarians, Discalced Carmelites and Discalced Franciscans- in the Eastern Mexico City during the last third of the sixteenth century, as opposed to prior or previously settled orders -Franciscans, Dominicans and Agustinians.In order to understand this process, the author first outlines the new orders' development in Europe and then introduces the ones that traveled to the Americas and eventually settled in the heart of New Spain. These religous institutes settled initially in Eastern Mexico City as a means for the episcopacy to strengthen in presence and jurisdiction in Mexico City.
