Summary
"For 500 years the Catholic Church has been part of our history. Its traces are present in many expressions of Mexico's political, economic and social life. This book, written by four of the most renowned specialists on the subject, offers… an overview of the corporations and institutions that made up the Church, including the high hierarchies, the clergy and the Catholic faithful. The reader will find the foundations of the power of this institution as promoter of beliefs, values and practices, holder of goods and capital, and participant in political processes and culture. It is a synthesis of the history of the Catholic Church from the beginning of the viceregal period to the present day, including the medieval antecedents that made it one of the most important institutions in the gestation of Western civilization." -- Translation provided by NLS
