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.
