The book offers a comprehensive exploration of the formation, roles, and regional contexts of Indigenous and mestizo clergy in colonial Spanish America.Although the Catholic Church officially permitted Indigenous and mestizo men to enter the priesthood from the 16th century onward, in practice they faced significant resistance. Both religious orders and secular clergy often questioned their fitness for priesthood, viewing them as neophytes. The book compiles in-depth studies covering various regions and time periods, shedding light on these social and educational dynamics. This book makes a valuable contribution to the history of colonial Latin America by uncovering the struggles and achievements of Indigenous and mestizo clergy.
