ESCRIG ROSA, Josep. Obedience as a Motto. About a Manuscript Sermon on the Oath of Augustin I in Zacatecas. Secuencia [online]. 2021, n.111, e1893.  Epub Sep 27, 2021. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i111.1893.

This paper analyzes a handwritten sermon of anonymous authorship, until now practically unpublished, preached in Zacatecas on May 30, 1822. It was motivated by the oath of allegiance to Agustín de Iturbide as elected emperor by the Constituent Congress. From the counterrevolutionary and antiliberal perspective, it is intended to enrich the study of monarchical imaginaries during the period of the First Empire. Also, the different mental representations and theoretical arguments with which certain ecclesiastics supported this experience of government. The speech of loyalty to the emperor was accompanied by an exaltation of Iturbide as a religious leader. The preacher exposed his ideal model of monarchy and claimed privileged treatment for the clergy. This allows addressing the variables of the Altar-Throne alliance. Therefore, it supposes an approach that opens more plural perspectives of analysis on the context of Mexican emancipation.

Keywords : sermon; Zacatecas; Agustín de Iturbide; First Empire; Independence.
