| Sumario: | This paper analyzes, based on the geopolitical-Inquisition relationship, the presence of Spaniards and settled castes in New Spain who abandoned catholicism to adhere to lutheranism and calvinism, both derivations of Protestantism. In the same way, it observes, through judicial history, the course followed by the cases against these subjects denounced and prosecuted for suspicion and protestant heresy at the hands of the Court of the Holy Office of Mexico during the 17th century, emphasizing the possible agents that influenced such characters to move away from Catholicism and embrace some branch of protestantism, geographically locating the places where the judicial processes began and thus perceive if the Inquisition continued to function as an instrument of the Counter-Reformation in the administration of justice to followers of the initiated movement by Martin Luther in the first decades of the 16th century. |
