本文主要探讨葡萄牙宗教裁判所权力下放的问题和葡萄牙宗教裁判所在澳门教区进行宗教活动的情况。本文由绪论、正文和结语三部个部分组成，其中正文两章。

绪论部分包括选题意义和研究综述的内容，其中研究综述回顾了近十几年来国内外学界对葡萄牙及其殖民地宗教裁判所的运行机制、其建立与发展的历史、澳门教区与果阿宗教裁判所关系的研究现状。同时，据新史料的发现，表明宗教调查员曾访澳门进行活动，以及对该活动的研究的一些看法。

第一章介绍了葡萄牙宗教裁判所的相关背景和探讨葡萄牙宗教裁判所权力下放的问题。葡萄牙宗教裁判所建立于1536年，它是一个具有国家世俗性和世界殖民性的宗教司法机构。该机构最高管理者由国王和其后裔等担任，它成为国王集中王权的工具。葡萄牙在保教权驱使下，不断对远东地区扩张，与此同时，为了维护天主教的纯洁和正统，捍卫罗马教廷的声誉，因此印度果阿建立宗教裁判所。葡萄牙宗教裁判所将其“所有权”下放至果阿宗教裁判所，其权力包括拥有对整个东方殖民地区范围的管辖权、最终审判权和调查员的委任权。因此，葡萄牙宗教裁判所的宗教调查活动是有着一个流动性极强和跨越地域极限的特点。

第二章简述天主教澳门教区成立的过程、分析澳门教区设立宗教裁判所的问题，以及探讨宗教裁判所调查员在澳门宗教活动的情况。葡萄牙人和传教士的到来，他们有些则选择留居澳门，并在当地修建教堂，至1576年，罗马教宗宣布澳门成立天主教教区。当地的传教士发现有犹太改宗者的存在，调查员萨主教的介入，对澳门教区的社会宗教秩序和司法制度产生了重要影响。调查员的主要调查对象除了犹太教化的案件外，还包括贿赂神职人员、信奉其他教派的新基督徒、海运走私及非法藏有与天主教教义相悖的书籍等案件。同时，他们在执行教务的过程中面临着各种困难和挑战。

最后的结语部分，对本文进行一个整体的概括总结，指出澳门虽然没有设立宗教裁判，但与葡萄牙宗教裁判所的宗教活动之间有着密切联系。果阿宗教裁判所发挥了葡萄牙宗教裁判所与澳门教区之间纽带的作用。澳门各方社会力量与葡萄牙宗教裁判所之间都可能存在着复杂矛盾与利益相互交织的关系，澳门教区成为了它们之间角力的舞台。果阿调查员访澳的调查活动正是葡萄牙宗教裁判所下放其“所有权”的表现形式，而造成澳门教区的社会宗教秩序的混乱是其活动的必然结果。

This article mainly discusses the decentralization of the Portuguese Inquisition and the religious activities of the Portuguese Inquisition in the Diocese of Macau. This article is composed of three parts: introduction, body and conclusion, including two chapters in the body.

The introduction includes the significance of the topic and the research summary. The research review, in recent years, reviews the operating mechanism of the Inquisition in Portugal and its colonies in the domestic academic circles, the history of its establishment and development, and the relationship between the Diocese of Macau and the Inquisition in Goa. According to the findings of new historical materials, it is shown that religious investigators have visited Macau for activities and some opinions on the study of the activities.

Chapter One introduces the relevant background of the Portuguese Inquisition and discusses the issue of decentralization of the Portuguese Inquisition. The Portuguese Inquisition was established in 1536. It is a religious judicial institution with national secular and world colonial features. The top administrator of this institution is the king and his descendants, etc., and it becomes a tool for the king to centralize his royal power. Driven by the right of Patronatus missionum, Portugal continued to expand in the Far East. At the same time, in order to maintain the purity and orthodoxy of the Catholic Church and defend the reputation of the Holy See, the Inquisition was established in Goa, India. Therefore, the religious investigation activities of the Portuguese Inquisition have a characteristic of being extremely mobile and transcending geographical limits.

Chapter Two briefly describes the process of the establishment of the Diocese of Macau, analyzes the establishment of the Inquisition in the Diocese of Macau, and discusses the religious activities of the inquisitors in Macau. With the arrival of the Portuguese and missionaries, some of them chose to stay in Macau and build churches there. By 1576, the Pope of Rome announced the establishment of a Catholic diocese in Macau. Local missionaries discovered the existence of Jewish converts, and the inquisitor, Bishop Sá, had an important impact on the social and religious order and judicial system of the Diocese of Macau. In addition to Judaization cases, the inquisitor also included bribery of clergy, new Christians of other denominations, smuggling by sea, and illegal possession of books that violate Catholic teachings. At the same time, they are faced with various difficulties and challenges in the process of carrying out affairs.

the conclusion, a general summary is made here, and it is pointed out that although Macau does not have an inquisition, it is connected with the religious activities of the Portuguese Inquisition. The Goa Inquisition played a role as a link between the Portuguese Inquisition and the Diocese of Macau. The various social forces in Macau and the Portuguese Inquisition may have complex contradictions and intertwined relations of interest, and the Diocese of Macau has become the arena for the struggle between them. The Portuguese Inquisition has delegated its manifestation of "ownership", and the chaos of the social and religious order in the diocese of Macau is an inevitable result of its activities.
