Se estudia la visita oficial a España del padre Acosta (1589-1591) en su contexto nacional, por su colaboración con la Inquisición en Perú y en España. Hombre de talento, con intereses filosóficos y en el 'arte de gobernar', le calificamos de rebelde ante su superior P. Acquaviva, durante la visita a los colegios jesuitas de Andalucía (1589-1590) y de Aragón (1590-1591). En esa visita hubo un soterrado debate entre España e Italia (entre ambos gobiernos y comunidades jesuitas), y entre las élites internas dentro de cada una. Participó en el debate acerca del estatuto jesuita de ‘limpieza de sangre’, junto a otros miembros de la Compañía (Mariana, Ribadeneira, Possevino o Vieira). De esta visita personal y de la V Congregación general (1592-1593) se derivó un cambio para los jesuitas de enorme valor ético: la exclusión de miembros de extracción judía o islámica (decreto 52).
The official visit to Spain of Father Acosta (1589-1591) is studied in its national context, due to his collaboration with the Inquisition in Peru and Spain. A man of talent, with philosophical interests and in the 'art of government', we classify him as a rebel before his superior P. Acquaviva, during the visit to the Jesuit schools of Andalusia (1589-1590), and of Aragon (1590-1591). During that visit, there was an underground debate between Spain and Italy (between both governments and Jesuit communities), and between the internal elites within each one. He participated in the debate about the Jesuit statute of ‘blood cleansing’, along with other members of the Company (Mariana, Ribadeneira, Possevino or Vieira). From this personal visit and from the V General Congregation (1592-1593) a change was derived for the Jesuits of enormous ethical value: the exclusion of members of Jewish or Islamic extraction (decree 52).
