SILVA PRADA, NATALIA. Court of Faith Censored: Ritual Practices, Lampoons and Rumors Against New Spain's Inquisition (1602-1734). Front. hist. [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.1, pp.146-180. ISSN 2027-4688.
This article analyzes the criticism to the Inquisition by various social sectors of the viceroy of New Spain, and its meanings. The author studies the 17th century and the early 18th century and uses the concept of 'opinion movement' to prove the existence of a peculiar form of public opinion. Exercising its functions, the Court of faith prompted reactions that reveal to us its political character and the capacity of different actors to deal with an institution aimed specially to control religious ideas. Preeminence lawsuits, lampoons, and rumors, as well as published documents, are the sources that introduce the reader to this topic. The handwritten documents are from the archives of Mexico and Spain.
