El debate en torno a la tolerancia de cultos en México durante la coyuntura de la posguerra (1848-1849)
Year: 2000
Type: article
Abstract: This article analyzes the discussion about the tolerance of different cults in the mid-western zone of Mexico during the period that followed the war against the United States. This was one of the most serious and delicate moments for the local elites, as the loss of more than a half of the Mexican territory had put the concept of nation into crisis. The author investigated the fears and resistences generated by the liberal project, which intended to support and regulate the colonization in some communities. In general, two levels of response were observed. The first, related to the Catholic hierarchy, was intransigent and marked by medieval reminiscences. The second, open and tolerant, shows to what extent some Catholic circles were not only considering an anachronistic return to the past, but also adopting a secular logic and accepting the political rules of the modern world.
