I demonstrate that this newspaper was founded by Pedro Espinosa y Dávalos (1793–1866) in order to counteract the influence of impious and regalist ideas that circulated in Mexico through pamphlets, newspapers, and banned books in the 1820s. I examine, on one hand, how the ecclesiastical sector was frustrated by the ineffectiveness of the religious censorship regime, and, on the other, the first attempts of Guadalajara’s clergy to contest the presumed impiety by financing political pamphlets. I ultimately argue that El Defensor de la Religión was founded in response to the need to have a newspaper that would allow the clergy to refute in a systematic and constant way all the publications that criticized or proposed to reform the Church.En este artículo se analizan las causas de la fundación de El Defensor de la Religión (1827–1833, Guadalajara, Jalisco), uno de los periódicos católicos mexicanos más importantes de la primera mitad del siglo xix. Se demuestra que el rotativo fue establecido por Pedro Espinosa y Dávalos (1793–1866) para contrarrestar la influencia de las ideas impías y regalistas que circularon en México a través de folletos, periódicos y libros prohibidos en la década de 1820. Se examina, por un lado, la frustración que generó en el clero la ineficacia del régimen de censura religiosa, y, por el otro, los primeros intentos del sector eclesiástico tapatío por combatir la supuesta impiedad mediante el financiamiento de opúsculos orientados al combate político. Se argumenta, finalmente, que El Defensor de la Religión fue fundado ante la necesidad de contar con un medio que permitiese al clero refutar de manera ordenada y prolongada las publicaciones que criticaban o proponían reformar la Iglesia.Departamento de Historia del Centro Universitario de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades2023-09-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo evaluado por paresapplication/pdftext/xmlhttp://www.letrashistoricas.cucsh.udg.mx/index.php/LH/article/view/740510.31836/lh.28.7405Letras Históricas E-ISSN: 2448-8372; No. 28 (2023): Spring–Summer; 27 pp.Letras Históricas E-ISSN: 2448-8372; Núm. 28 (2023): Primavera–Verano; 27 pp.2448-83722007-114010.31836/lh.28reponame:Letras históricasinstname:UNIVERSIDAD DE GUADALAJARAinstacron:UDGspahttp://www.letrashistoricas.cucsh.udg.mx/index.php/LH/article/view/7405/6756http://www.letrashistoricas.cucsh.udg.mx/index.php/LH/article/view/7405/6768Derechos de autor 2023 Letras Históricas E-ISSN: 2448-8372info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:letrashistoricas.cucsh.udg.mx:article/74052024-08-16T20:35:37Z
