Abstract
ROSAS SALAS, Sergio. Our Lady of Pontmain: marian devotion and new catolicism in Puebla, 1876-1914. Let. hist. [online]. 2019, n.21, pp.115-138. Epub Apr 24, 2020. ISSN 2448-8372.
The objective of this article is to analyze the diffusion, development and decline of the cult of Our Lady of Pontmain in the city of Puebla. Doing so, it tries to understand the way in which new devotions were integrated in Mexican Catholicism at the end of the 19th century and to discard the causes of the popularity of these cults. The hypothesis is that this the cult was the local expression of a New Catholicism that served as a cult element that impelled clerics and lay people to look for new mechanisms of urban and social presence of Catholicism in a context dominated by triumphant liberalism.
