Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: In this article we study the judge of the Catholic Church named «vicar and ecclesiastical judge» whose actions were done in an specific region. We will do it through the study of three Michoacan priests, representatives of the middle clergy of the seventeenth century (1638-1666): Pedro Gutiérrez Rangel, Diego Correa Gudiño and Juan Pardo de Quesada. We divide the study into four sections: an introduction in which we present the problem and the sources; a brief characterization of the institution according to doctrine and canon law; the trajectory of our characters; and an invitation to a broader reflection. As we will see, these judges played a strategic role in the pastoral and judicial action of the bishops.
