In 1523. he returned to Spain to teach theology at the monastery of St. Gregory at Valladolid. Three years later, he was elected to the Prime Chair of theology at the University of Salamanca, where he was instrumental in promoting Thomism.
His works are known only from his lecture notes, he himself having published nothing. A noted scholar, he was publicly consulted by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. An important part of his influence was the justification of the imposition of Spanish imperial power over the indigenous inhabitants of America.
