In the Shadow of the Virgin
On June 11, 1485, in the pilgrimage town of Guadalupe, the Holy Office of the Inquisition executed Alonso de Paredes--a converted Jew who posed an economic and political threat to the town's powerful friars--as a heretic. Wedding engrossing narratives of Paredes and other figures with astute historical analysis, this finely wrought study reconsiders the relationship between religious identity and political authority in late-Medieval and early-modern Spain. Gretchen Starr-LeBeau concentrates on the Inquisition's handling of conversos (converted Jews and their descendants) in Guadalupe, taking religious identity to be a complex phenomenon that was constantly re-imagined and reconstructed in li...

The Gibraltar Crusade
The epic battle for control of the Strait of Gibraltar waged by Castile, Morocco, and Granada in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries is a major, but often overlooked, chapter in the history of the Christian reconquest of Spain. After the Castilian conquest of Seville in 1248 and the submission of the Muslim kingdom of Granada as a vassal state, the Moors no longer loomed as a threat and the reconquest seemed to be over. Still, in the following century, the Castilian kings, prompted by ideology and strategy, attempted to dominate the Strait. As self-proclaimed heirs of the Visigoths, they aspired not only to reconstitute the Visigothic kingdom by expelling the Muslims from Spai...
Enemies in the Plaza
Toward the end of the fifteenth century, Spanish Christians near the border of Castile and Muslim-ruled Granada held complex views about religious tolerance. People living in frontier cities bore much of the cost of war against Granada and faced the greatest risk of retaliation, but had to reconcile an ideology of holy war with the genuine admiration many felt for individual members of other religious groups. After a century of near-continuous truces, a series of political transformations in Castile—including those brought about by the civil wars of Enrique IV's reign, the final war with Granada, and Fernando and Isabel's efforts to reestablish royal authority—incited a broad reaction ag...
Sociedades secretas clericales y no clericales en México en el siglo XX
En el 2006, el mundo de la literatura y el cine volvió a poner de moda temas vinculados con la Iglesia católica como institución: la fuerza de su tradición y la cultura del secreto que, se supone, conlleva la misma. Este nuevo auge despojó a los “iniciados” y a los estudiosos de la cercanía exclusiva a las fuentes secretas. Dan Brown publicó una serie de escritos controvertidos que mezclan fuentes de archivos, creencias populares y pseudoestudios científicos. El héroe de esas aventuras, quien desenmascara complots internacionales, es un profesor ficticio, Robert Langdon, supuesto experto en iconografía y simbología religiosas adscrito a la no ficticia y célebre Universidad de Harvard. Nuevo Indiana Jones del siglo XXI, Robert Langdon es interpretado por el multilaureado Tom Hanks y recorre lo mismo los archivos nacionales de Francia, las colecciones exclusivas del Louvre o los famosos archivos secretos vaticanos. No es la primera ni la última vez que cine y literatura tratarán el tema de sociedades secretas vinculadas a la Iglesia católica u opuestas a ella.
