Abstract
In this paper is analysed the correspondence established between the bishop of Badajoz, Amador Merino Malaguilla, and the General Inquisitor Francisco Pérez de Prado in 1750. This took place in the context of the inquisitorial procedure led by Llerena’s court about the assiduity of the bishop to some feminine convents in his diocese and his suspected tendency to molinosismo. With this correspondence the bishop tried to gain the inquisitor’s favour. This fact permits us to study some issues about power relationships and communication between the ecclesiastic elite as well as his influence in an inquisitorial trial.
