During his last term as viceroy, Morcillo was elevated tothe Metropolitan Archbishopric, thus holding both powers, religious and political. Several pamphlets were published accusing the Viceroy of severe irregularities, such as embezzlement, nepotism, greed, corruption, bribery, etc. Pedro de Peralta Barnuevo, a criollo intelectual close to the viceregal power, wrote two texts defending him from his enemies: Templo de la Fama Vindicado ([1720] 1996), y Diálogo político. La Verdad y la Justicia ([1724] 1996). In this article, I analyze both of these texts and examine the rhetorical devicesused in their double function: as defense of the viceregal authority, and as part of the rhetorical and performative position of the criollo intelectual under Bourbon power. En 1720, don Diego Morcillo Rubio de Auñón, por entonces arzobispo de La  Plata, fue nombrado por segunda vez virrey del Perú al finalizar el gobierno de Carmine Caracciollo, príncipe de Santo Buono. Durante su segundo mandato, Morcillo fue, a su vez, elevado al solio metropolitano, ostentando ambos poderes, el religioso, como arzobispo, y el político como virrey. Se publican varios panfletos acusándolo de severas irregularidades: malversación de fondos, nepotismo, ambición desmedida, corrupción, sobornos, etc. Pedro de Peralta Barnuevo, un intelectual criollo cercano al poder, asume la defensa del arzobispo produciendo dos textos: Templo de la Fama Vindicado ([1720] 1996) y Diálogo político. La Verdad y la Justicia ([1724] 1996). En este artículo examinaré ambos escritos, obras poco estudiadas de Peralta, y los artefactos retóricos que allí despliega en su doble función: la defensa de la autoridad virreinal y el posicionamiento retórico y performativo del intelectual criollo bajo el poder borbónico. Em 1720, Dom Diego Morcillo Rubio de Auñón, então Arcebispo de La Plata, foi nomeado Vice-Rei do Peru pela segunda vez, ao final do governo de Carmine Caracciollo, Príncipe de Santo Buono. Durante seu segundo mandato, Morcillo foi, por sua vez, elevado ao trono metropolitano, detendo ambos os poderes: o religioso, como arcebispo, e o político, como vice-rei. Vários panfletos foram publicados acusando-o de graves irregularidades: peculato, nepotismo, ambição excessiva, corrupção, suborno, etc. Pedro de Peralta Barnuevo, um intelectual crioulo próximo ao poder, assumiu a defesa do arcebispo, produzindo dois textos: Templo de la Fama Vindicado ([1720] 1996) e Diálogo político. La Verdad y la Justicia ([1724] 1996). Neste artigo, examinarei essas duas obras pouco estudadas de Peralta e os dispositivos retóricos que ele utiliza nelas em sua dupla função: a defesa da autoridade vice-real e o posicionamento retórico e performático do intelectual crioulo sob o poder Bourbon.
