Resumen:
We explore the process of reform carried out by Bishop Marcos Ramirez de Prado in the diocese of Michoacan, from 1640 to 1646. Two aspects stand out. On the one hand, the emphasis on the dignity of sacred places, such as churches and hermitages; the execution of wills and the development of chaplaincies; the life of the clergy; and the customs of the faithful. On the other hand, the elaboration of diocesan Canon law, the episcopal visitation and the Ecclesiastical Court as means of reform, which gave it a markedly disciplinary character.
