"Thorough study of the cathedral cabildo--the ruling body of the Episcopal church--in the important diocesis of Michoacán. Covers the entire colonial period. The cabildo is analyzed as a collegiate body aware of its historical identity, its responsibilities and duties, and its relationship with the bishop. Traces important nuances in the evolution of this body.

Estremecedor cómputo de las heridas psíquicas y emocionales que, infligidas a los españoles durante la Guerra, permanecen dolorosas y abiertas porque la Victoria de Franco escarbó y ahondó en ellas durante 40 años, y luego porque la Transición se olvidó de cerrarlas o de procurar algún alivio a las víctimas de aquella victoria.
