LAMPE, Armando. A Theological Interpretation of the Sermon by José María Cos. Secuencia [online]. 2015, n.93, pp.50-64. ISSN 2395-8464.

This paper provides a theological interpretation of an insurgent sermon by José María Cos and may be considered a chapter in the history of theology in Latin America, an area that has scarcely been explored, and where new studies are required. The item is inserted in the new historiography concerned with the religiosity of insurgent priests and highlights the Christian motivation of Father Cos, who had turned to the political praxis of Mexico’s independence motivated primarily by his Christian faith. The article concludes by declaring that José María Cos therefore forms part of a long tradition of political priests in the history of the Catholic Church.
