Abstract

In 1767, Society of Jesus was banished by the catholic Hispanic Monarchy. The reason arose from the disagreement with the interventionist politic of the Spanish Crown in ecclesiastical matters. In the New Spain, the arguments against Jesuit Fathers were increased greatly by the Enlightenment supporters, who also wanted to remove the devotions spread by the Society of Jesus. The most harmed devotion was the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which  exerted such a popular influence that it affected the traditional iconography.
