Church and state are inseparably linked in carrying out Spanish policy.

The state assumes administrative responsibility—funding expenditures and selecting personnel—for the new ecclesiastical establishments.

Responsibility for conversion of the indigenous population to Christianity is assigned to several religious orders: the Dominicans, Franciscans, and Augustinians, known collectively as the friars—and to the Jesuits.

At the lower levels of colonial administration, the Spanish build on traditional village organization by co-opting the traditional local leaders, thereby ruling indirectly.
