Descrição
Resumo:In this article we propose to address the study of some of the characteristics of the secularization process in the city of Salta through the case study of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament. We are interested in reconstructing the trajectory of this religious association and to give an account of the set of changes it experienced during the first half of the 19th century. To do so, we will focus on the analysis of its authorities and government positions; composition; assets and economic resources; and some characteristics of its religious activities. We will work mainly with the "Book" of the referred brotherhood that contains the records of entries of its brothers and the detail of the accounting balances made in the delimited period. Our research will allow us to observe the course of a corporation of colonial origin and the characteristics that its physiognomy acquired in the transition from a regime of Christianity to a religious modernity.
