FOULARD, Camille. Towards Body Limits: Catholic Mystic Penitential Practices in the Mexican Revolution. Trace (Méx. DF) [online]. 2017, n.72, pp.9-33. ISSN 2007-2392. https://doi.org/10.22134/trace.72.2017.92.
Concepción Cabrera de Armida was born during the civil war after the proclamation of the Reform laws. Throughout her life, she developed a spirituality based on corporal penitential practices that put her life in danger. In the context of modern national construction characterized by the increasingly acute criticism of the traditional Catholic Church’s role, Concepción Cabrera de Armida’s mysticism not only represented an individual introspective exercise with morbid connotation. During the revolutionary and post-revolutionary period, she took part in collective redemption as a way of transcending the prohibition on women to enter priesthood.
