Abstract

The reform of brotherhoods in the 18th century offers important points of comparison between the objectives, instruments, scope and consequences of the Bourbon reforms in Spain and in Mexico. Brotherhoods were redefined as corporations lay under the authority of the king and not the clergy, however, we see that the process was much more important in the Peninsula than in New Spain. The reform also sought to standardize the brotherhoods fixed rules in their organization, acts of worship and other religious practices, reinforcing in them charity and public utility.
