Since 1750 Archbishop Manuel Rubio y Salinas ordered the taking place of the transference to clerics from doctrines previously administered by the regular clergy. Several of the secularized curates used to have a vast territory, the Diocesan prelate decided to divide them. As there were more parishes, a higher number of the clerics could have more chance to get accommodation. In addition, argued Rubio, the parishioners were favored because it improved their spiritual administration. The establishment of these boundaries was sometimes done with the consensus of several actors involved, but in other cases it involved conflicts that could represent a number of major obstacles in the process of creating new parishes.
