Exponi nobis

Exponi nobis nuper fecisti, known in New Spain as Omnimoda, was a papal bull commissioned by Charles V and promulgated by Adrian VI on 10 May 1522.^[1][2] The bull allowed members of mendicant orders in the New World to exercise "almost all episcopal authority" when no diocesan bishop was within two days' travel.^[1] These powers were later confirmed at the Council of Trent.^[3]

Under the authority of Omnimoda, missionary priests such as Martín de Valencia and Diego de Landa acted as agents of the Inquisition in the Americas.^[1] The bull also gave missionaries the authority to dispense local Catholics from impediments to marriage.^[4]
