Cartagena's 1610 Inquisition: Faith and Fear in Colonial Colombia

Listen for free

View show details

In 1610, the Spanish Inquisition established a tribunal in Cartagena de Indias, turning the Caribbean port into a theater of faith, fear, and control. This episode explores the inner workings of the Santo Oficio in Colombia—its autos de fe, its persecution of conversos, cimarrones, and indigenous rebels, and the chilling case of Luis de Ocampo, a Portuguese merchant accused of Judaizing. We examine the 'Limpieza de sangre' statutes, the role of familiars and informants, and how the Inquisition shaped colonial society. Lucas and Luna also discuss the Inquisition's decline in the 18th century, contrasting its legacy with the resilience of Afro-Colombian and indigenous cultures. #CartagenaInquisition #SantoOficio #LimpiezaDeSangre #AutoDeFe #LuisDeOcampo #Conversos #Cimarrones #ColombiaColonial #Inquisicion #1610 #CartagenaDeIndias #Judaizantes #Familiars #PalacioDeLaInquisicion #AfroColombian #ColonialHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
