The first synod of La Paz was held in 1638 following royal orders. Publication of its "constitution", or proceedings, was delayed owing to Viceroy Chinchón's insistence that they be approved by the Audiencia for La Plata. The diocesan lawyer appealed and insisted that the license be granted, and was successful after two attempts.
