Abstract

This paper reads the Compendiosa Relación de la Cristiandad de Quito (1773-1775), by Jesuit Bernardo Recio, as a defense of the Society of Jesus against the accusations faced by the order and its subsequent expulsion from the Spanish territories in America. The article focuses on the author's account of the Rebellion of the Barrios (1765), in which the Society of Jesus is portrayed as a spiritual militia that must fight the Indigenous and Mestizo urban population that becomes an army of demons during the uprising.
