It emphasizes the ability of the capuchins to take advantage of the religious reconciliation and tolerance that were opened through the informal compromises between Church and State in the 1930’s, and shows that the nuns took an active role as Catholics and women.

A través de este caso, el trabajo tiene como objetivo ilustrar la forma en que la opción de vida contemplativa femenina pudo renovarse y practicarse en El Bajío y en México después de la Revolución Mexicana y su embate anticlerical. Subraya la capacidad de las religiosas para aprovechar los espacios de conciliación y tolerancia que abrieron los compromisos informales entre Iglesia y Estado en la década de 1930, y muestra que a través de su vocación tuvieron un activo papel como creyentes que, a partir de su propia opción personal y de su capacidad para llegar a tomar acuerdos entre sí, contribuyeron a la renovación de la práctica religiosa en el México posrevolucionario a través de la restauración de la clausura.Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes2014-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-Reviewed ArticleArtículo evaluado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.uaa.mx/index.php/caleidoscopio/article/view/53710.33064/31crscsh537Caleidoscopio - Biannual Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities; No. 31 (2014); 93-115Caleidoscopio - Revista Semestral de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades; Núm. 31 (2014); 93-1152395-95761405-7107reponame:Caleidoscopioinstname:UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA DE AGUASCALIENTESinstacron:UAAspahttps://revistas.uaa.mx/index.php/caleidoscopio/article/view/537/515Derechos de autor 2014 Caleidoscopio Revista Semestral de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidadesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistas.uaa.mx:article/5372024-08-22T19:25:08Z
