Description
Summary:This article analyses the building of the religious celebrity of sor Patrocinio, famous for being stigmata, and who was prosecuted in 1835. The extraordinary phenomena she experienced were related to a religious cosmovision which was suspicious of the changes brought by the fall of the Ancien Régime, and it was expressed through the vicarious suffering as a mean of relieving the adverse consequences of the revolution. However, although the trial conducted against sor Patrocinio intended to neutralize its potential political manipulation by the enemies of liberalism, the court case was decisive for turning the nun into a celebrity.
Este artículo analiza la construcción de la celebridad religiosa de sor Patrocinio, una monja famosa por haber recibido los estigmas y que fue encausada en 1835. Los fenómenos extraordinarios que protagonizó estuvieron muy relacionados con una cosmovisión religiosa que recelaba de los cambios sobrevenidos tras la caída del Antiguo Régimen, y que se expresaba a través del sufrimiento vicario como medio para paliar las consecuencias adversas de la revolución. Sin embargo, la causa judicial que se instruyó contra ella, aunque pretendía neutralizar su potencial instrumentalización política por los enemigos del liberalismo, fue determinante a la hora de convertirla en una celebridad.
