The precarious plight of the church in Tabasco in time of the Austria’s: notes and general considerations

Abstract

If something characterized Tabasco in the religious sphere, it was undoubtedly the limitation suffered by the development of the church in that region during a large part of the colonial period. This article focuses on analyzing the role that this institution played in Tabasco from the conquest until the advent of the Bourbon dynasty, offering some notes and general considerations that help us understand its limited evolution under the Habsburg dynasty.
