Archbishop (1815-1837 : Fonte y Hernández Miravete)
Fonte y Hernández Miravete, Pedro José de
A document that calls for a reformation in the structure of parishes and functions of priests and parishioners in order to lessen the number of enemies and maintain the religion. It refers to earlier decrees that allow Indians to serve as cantors, sacristans and lay officials; that mandate the establishment of schools to teach the Castilian language, and a law by the viceroy to extend an indult to the rebels.
