| Sumario: | The strict observance imposed on the nuns after Trent had in rigorous silence one of its main maxims. Through silence the nuns walked towards religious perfection. However, sometimes the silence of the brides of God was broken in the parlours. A place of contact with the outside world, the nuns could speak in these spaces, but as Father Arbiol wrote, their words had to be «few and limited». And the fact is that when the sisters transgressed discretion, even if it was only through a smile, the moralist writers of the period branded them as scandalous, in short. Scandals that arose due to lack of rectitude and that could have repercussions on others.In this work we will try to approach possible scandals in the parlours of female convents, the causes that originated them and their repression in the confessional. In this way, we will delve into the construction of the identity of the post-Tridentine nuns. We will also consider if what was deemed scandalous behavior for them also applied in the case of secular women.To achieve our objectives, our main source will be moralistic writings, as well as confessor manuals and the customs literature of the Old Regime. |
