Sin embargo, como se trat¨® de una instituci¨®n dirigida a los ind¨ªgenas, su procedimiento y sistema punitivo se vieron reformulados por las autoridades coloniales en atenci¨®n a las especiales circunstancias etnogr¨¢ficas, sociales, pol¨ªticas y culturales de la poblaci¨®n andina, como tambi¨¦n, a la influencia del estatuto protector ind¨ªgena, el que deb¨ªa ser respetado por los agentes coloniales. Lo anterior implic¨® una serie de modificaciones al procedimiento inquisitorial, al sistema de castigo y de defensas que generaron fisuras, reinterpretaciones y resignificaciones por los agentes coloniales, relativo al orden y Derecho penal del Antiguo R¨¦gimen, que dio lugar a un proceso penal que es posible calificar de protomodernizante. During the 17th century, idolatry extirpators, that were itinerary courts, purpose of which was to watch over the pureness of faith, and to prosecute and penalize the Indians suspected and liable for apostasy, were performed in the diocese of Lima. However, since this institution was meant for the native people, the colonial authorities had to reformulate its proceedings and punitive system due to the special ethnographic, social, political and cultural aspects of the Andean peoples, as well as due to the influence of the indigenous protector statute, that had to be respected by the colonial agents. The aforementioned entailed a series of modifications to the inquisitorial process, to the punishment and defense system that resulted in fissures, reinterpretations and resignifications among the Colonial agents regarding the order and Criminal Law of the Old Regime which gave rise to a criminal process that can be labeled as proto-modernizing. %K Protectores de naturales %K Defensores %K Protecci¨®n jur¨ªdica de los ind¨ªgenas %K Derecho procesal y penal inquisitivo %K Indigenous people protectors %K Defense %K Legal protection for the native people %K Inquisitive procedural and criminal law %U http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0716-54552011000100012
