Description
Résumé:This text shows how the legal character of confession, as conceptualized and defined in canon law, can be seen in the “confessional” by Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas, the Confessional in the Mexican and Castilian Tongues by Fray Alonso de Molina and The Precise Rules Needed for Judges and Ministers in the Indies and Their Confessors by Fray Jerónimo Moreno, but that, furthermore, the legal dimension of the conscience can be seen in the specific nature of the sins in question, the situations in which sinners confessed and, consequently, the means suggested by the authors of these works for guiding penitents and confessors.
