Abstract

This article examines the importance of Cathedral ritual in Mexico during the last 40 years of the 16th century, a period in which the ecclesiastical Chapter and archbishops strove to make the Mexico City Cathedral the most important church in the ecclesiastical province of Mexico. Among many other initiatives, ceremonies played a significant role –both politically and in religious terms– for it was through them that the Chapter and Cathedral demonstrated their preeminence over other corporations in the city.
