The bishops who participate in the Third Mexican Provincial Council (1585), following the instructions of the Council of Trent, took the chance to develop new Statutes for the cathedral chapter. Like the decrees of the Provincial Council, the Statutes were sent to Rome for review and approval. The Congregation of the Council, after review, sent a letter to Mexico where they gave their approval, but noted some corrections to be introduced in both the statutes and decrees. In this paper are analyzed the content of the Statute and the indications made by the Roman Curia. Also is checked if the corrections were accepted and, therefore, included in the first edition of the conciliar documents, published in 1622.

Keywords : Statutes; Cathedral chapter; Third Mexican Provincial Council; Congregation of the Council; Mexico.
