| Sumario: | This article retraces the story of an ordinary European man converted in a «street prophet». For twenty-five years, Juan Gómez roamed numerous Hispanic American towns making embarrassing accusations, particularly against clergymen and clergywomen. The author explores the meanings of a peculiar mystical position and contextualizes it based on the life of a secular person who has never become a religious but was a staunch defender of the franciscanism. This research is based on the legal action taken by the Tribunal of the Inquisition in Mexico against the Portuguese Juan Gómez, between 1657 and 1659. |
