This article conducts an analytical overview of the controversies and acts that resulted in the formation of a native clergy in Portuguese America. The analysis is limited to the secular clergy and the ways by which descendants of Africans and Indians were incorporated into this segment of the Church. The author addresses the way parts of these groups developed strategies to access the priesthood, seeking to escape subaltern positions and consolidating processes of social mobility.

This paper analyzes the interpersonal relationships established by the secular clergy in Jerez de la Frontera during the Late Middle Ages. Through the analysis of the affidavits preserved in the Historical Archive of Affidavits of Jerez de la Frontera for the period between 1392 and 1520, the most mundane profile of this important ecclesiastical group is traced. In this way, the article intends to go beyond the usual business in notarial documentation to delve into other types of connections, less obvious, but equally common between clergy and laity. It talks about their spiritual, material, social and sexual links, which give meaning to the adjective «secular» and show the social prestige enjoyed by this group in the society of this time.

The article analyzes the impact of the Colegio Pío Latino Americano on the formation of the Argentine clergy, specifically on the students from the diocese of Córdoba between 1877 and 1927. It is highlighted that the formation in the college was not driven by the diocesan bishops, but by the affluent families of Córdoba who sent their children to study in Rome. Upon their return, these alumni held positions in government and ecclesiastical administration. The possibility of a Roman matrix in the governance of dioceses or particular churches is raised.

Dismissal because of the "color defect" for descendants of enslaved and free Africans became a widespread feature of the licensing process for the secular clergy throughout the eighteenth century. However, the expression was neither natural nor meaningless. The standardization of these dismissals refl1ected vocabulary that was established based on the experiences of ecclesial agents in the context of a slave society permeated by Old Regime political culture. Therefore, the expression came to represent a vision about social classifications based on color and conceptions about slavery-related origins. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present article seeks to show the participation of the Congregation of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri in the process of spreading literacy in New Spain during the 18th century. Through an analysis of a variety of handwritten and edited documentary sources, it shows that the order founded by St. Philip Neri contributed to the enlightened project through its work of promoting public education for both sexes and the inclusion of modern disciplines in the education offerings of its secondary and primary schools, especially in the Bajío region.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the disputes that revolved around the sacred image of the Holy Ecce-Homo belonging to the convent of the same name in the province of Tunja since the first years of republican life until the beginning of the 21st century. A confrontation of interests between several parties is observed in this predicament: the Dominican community, the government, the school of Boyacá, the parish church of Sutamarchán, the town of Leiva and the parishioners. It was also evident a struggle of forces between the State and the Church, as well as between the secular clergy and the regular clergy. This conflict also reveals a common practice that was the circulation and transfer of images between convents and parish churches, a dynamic that involved the creation of new scenarios of appropriation and devotion, but that also opened the field to crucial jurisdictional disputes.

El presente trabajo explora por vez primera la práctica musical en los monasterios de monjas del Chile colonial. Partiendo de la información inédita recopilada en el archivo del Monasterio de La Victoria de Santiago, se analizan aspectos históricos y musicales tales como la imagen de la monja música en la historiografía tradicional y postmoderna; su estatus social en el período colonial; la evolución de las plantillas musicales (instrumentistas y cantoras), con sus correspondientes cambios estilísticos y la injerencia que tenían los músicos ajenos al monasterio. Por último, se cuestiona la supuesta independencia de género de las monjas y se plantea la hipótesis de que las repetidas censuras a sus prácticas artístico-musicales estuvieron motivadas no sólo por propósitos moralizantes, sino también por la necesidad del clero secular y la autoridad civil de limitar el crecimiento de las instituciones monásticas.This is the first study about the musical practice in convents of Colonial Chile on the basis of new data collected in the archive of the convent of La Victoria in Santiago. It considers historical and musical aspects such as the image of the nun musician in traditional and postmodern historiography, her social status during the colonial period, the evolution of music groups (instrumentalists and singers), the stylistic changes associated with them, and the role played by foreign mule musicians in the monastery. Finally, it questions the assumption that nun musicians enjoyed an independence from masculine gender. Furthermore, it puts forward as a hypothesis that the frequent prohibitions of their musical and artistic practices originated not only in moralistic purposes, but also in the need of the secular clergy and civic authorities of limiting the growth of monastic institutions.

The study refers to the religious reform in the Church of Spain at the end of the fifteenth century. It presents Isabella, the Catholic, as an advocate and a supporter of this religious reform, instituted together with the global project of the Catholic Kings of creating and forging a new modern state reigning in peace and justice. This religious reform took into account all social classes and peoples of the Hispanic kingdoms, including the Jewish converts and the expulsion of Muslims and Jews. The Queen, known as Isabella the Catholic, was so committed to the Castilian religious project that she spent half of her life to guide the church in this ecclesiastical work. To comprehend better this complicated and encompassing study, it is divided into two parts. The first part contains the reforms of the bishops, of the secular clergy, of the Christian people, of the religious and nuns, and the second part is all about the ethnic minorities.

This work analyzes the establishment of the secular clergy in the diocese of Mexico in 1519 and its evolution until 1650. The study is based on the career of secular clergy according to canonical and royal guidelines. The first part explores the establishment of diocesan priests on this huge diocesan territory, as well as the obstacles they faced in the exercise of the duties. The second part, presents the social origins and the intellectual background of the secular clergy which was so determining for the career of its members. Finally, the third part approaches the processes leading to the appointment of these priests and focuses on their pastoral mission. The purpose of the whole thesis is to throw some light on the activity of the secular clergy who was the spiritual guide of Mexican Catholics following the innovative outlined orientations by the Council of Trent. Never before, the specificity of the secular clergy has been taken into account for itself, when considering the development of tridentine pastoral theology, showing this theology rooted in everyday life during the first decades of the early Mexican Church.

The article discusses the history of the training of Catholic Church clergy for Mexico and Latin America in the period from 1833 to 1899, with a focus on competition between training colleges in Rome and in Mexico. Topics discussed include the establishment of the Colegio Pio Latino Americano (Piolatino) in Rome for the purpose of training clergy for Latin America, restructuring of education in Mexico in the 1830s, and the impact of liberal reforms in Mexico in the 1860s on the structure and training of Catholic clergy.

The article discusses the role of secular clergy in the indigenous communities in New Spain. The author notes that the priests were instructed by their superiors to act as spiritual and moral guides to the indigenous people, but not to act as leaders in any other way. A study is presented, however, of two towns in which the priests clearly continued to intervene and interfere with the natives' internal structure and social issues. It is asserted that the members of the towns analyzed, Naucalpan and Tlanepantla, were more frequently disadvantaged by the priests' involvement rather than favored by it.

Although the concept of anti-clericalism in the early sixteenth century has been successfully challenged, there remain the questions whether and to what extent there was dissatisfaction with the secular clergy. The comprehensive consideration of the Catholic clergy by Peter Marshall approached those issues from a variety of angles. More recently, Tim Cooper has exonerated the secular clergy of the diocese of Coventry and Lichfield. Attitudes to the clergy in that diocese are re-examined here through a detailed analysis of testamentary bequests by the laity to the secular (parochial) clergy, from the late 1520s to 1546, throughout the various mutations in direction of the Henrician Reformation. A certain level of indifference is detected in the general paucity of death-bed considerations for the clergy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article explores the 17th century Spanish religious literature instructing secular clergy of the Catholic Church on their spiritual and social identity. It considers the historical and social context of the Catholic clergy after the Council of Trent and discusses the Catholic Counter-Reformation's emphasis on the social pervasiveness of Catholic clergy. The author explores the religious and ideological content of treatises from the period including "Instrucción de sacerdotes en que se les da doctrina muy importante para conocer la alteza del sagrado oficio sacerdotal y para exercitarle deuidamente" (1608), "Espejo de sacerdotes y de todos los ministros de la hierarchia eclesiastica" (1611) and "Del bien, excelencias y obligaciones del estado clerical y sacerdotal" (1615).
