La Iglesia católica en el México decimonónico : entre tradición y cambio

Abstract

During the nineteenth century in Mexico, the form of the relationship between the Catholic Church and the State was a matter of public discussion. Since the Mexican Independence and until the Reform, there were multiple attempts to define the role of the ecclesiastical institution in the new nation. In the mid-century, the Church reshape itself as an answer to the process of secularization in Mexico and a great part of the Western world.
