CHURCH LIFE BETWEEN THE METROPOLITAN AND THE LOCAL
PARISHES, PARISHIONERS AND PARISH PRIESTS IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY MEXICO
LUNDBERG, MAGNUS
Church Life between the Metropolitan and the Local is a study of parishes, parishioners and parish priests in central Mexico during the first half of the seventeenth century. Using a number of different genres found in archives and libraries on both sides of the Atlantic, the book gives a multifaceted picture of the parish life. It addresses metropolitan norms for the ministry as well as priestly and indigenous interpretations of the day-to-day life in the local church. Throughout the book particular emphasis is put on the interface between the indigenous parishioners and their parish priests, thus contributing to a closer study of the slow-moving processes of religious indoctrination and religious change in central Mexico a century or more after the Conquest.
