Abstract
Las relaciones ad limina permiten ver
cómo la contrarreforma entra en aplicación
en los territorios católicos. A partir del análisis
de estos documentos producidos para
el arzobispado de Maguncia, este artículo
pretende estudiar los intentos para reconstruir
la autoridad política y religiosa de
los arzobispos de Maguncia pero también
cómo ellos intentan borrar las huellas de
las disidencias en sus territorios. Este proceso
no se puede disociar de un importante
esfuerzo de construcción y de un reforzamiento
de los lazos con otros príncipes
católicos. Así, los intentos para acabar con
las disidencias permiten que los arzobispos
de Maguncia tengan una importancia que
supera los problemas de política interna y
de la religión. También se encarnan en un
discurso de exaltación del poder arzobispal
As historical sources, the relations ad limina make clear how the Counter-Reformation came into effect within catholic territories; they also show the means used by the archbishops to erase the remnants of past dissidences. This study intends to analyse the attempts to build and reinforce the political and religious authority of the archbishops of Mainz. Such attempts cannot be dissociated from an important enterprise of architectural building and from the creation of close relations with other catholic princes. They can also manifest themselves as a speech intending to exalt the power of the archbishops. Thus, to put an end to dissidences allows the archbishops of Mainz to be part of processes that go beyond questions of internal or religious politics
