The Armed Prayer: New Religiosities for a New World
Abstract
As is well known, the Spanish conquest and the repercussions of colonization and Catholic indoctrination represented a demolishing attack on Mesoamerican ways of conceiving existence and passing through that existence. Faced with this reality, Mayan communities frequently resorted, among other strategies, to the substitution of certain ancient religious referents with Christian ones, which allowed them to enact the mechanisms necessary to adjust thought content and vital attitudes by adapting them to the new reality, whether in times of war or peace.
