This Book excerpt examines the life and religious reforms of Archbishop Juan de Ribera in 16th-century Valencia, Spain, focusing on his complex relationship with the Moriscos (recently baptized Muslims). The text explores Ribera's attempts to integrate the Moriscos into the Catholic Church through various means, including education and the creation of new religious institutions. It also details the significant cultural and religious differences between Old Christians and Moriscos, leading to conflict and ultimately, the expulsion of the Moriscos. The author analyzes the historical context, including the political climate and the role of the Inquisition, to understand Ribera's actions and their impact. Finally, the excerpt includes numerous primary source citations, such as letters and official documents, to support its analysis.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Between-Christians-Moriscos-University-Historical/dp/0801883229?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=3378f97a26dd7ace7f423bffda86608d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
