Discusión:Barragana

Cita de Brennan

Sorry to be writing in English on a Spanish page... I came to this page after reading this in Gerald Brennan, The Spanish Labyrinth (p 49 (footnote)):

"In the middle ages, it was an established custom, permitted by the bishops, for Spanish priests to have concubines. They wore a special dress and had special rights and were called barraganas. When the Council of Trent forbade this practise to continue, the Spanish clergy protested. And in fact they have never paid much attention to this prohibition, for they continue to have 'housekeepers' and 'nieces' to this day. Their parishioners, far from being shocked, prefer them to live in concubinage, as otherwise they would not always care to let their womenfolk confess to them. This was so in the fifteenth century, when the Basques regularly refused to receive priests who did not bring their barraganas with them, and to my knowledge it was often true until a few years ago."

Maybe someone who knows more about the protocol of putting English language material on a Spanish page could decide whether it is appropriate to include this reference in the article. — El comentario anterior sin firmar es obra de SimEvans (disc. • contribs • bloq).

Creo que el tema es mucho más matizado que lo que se indica en ese artículo, @SimEvans:. Puedes mirar, por ejemplo, este artículo para ver el modo en que el problema de la incontinencia sexual y el concubinato clerical en España fue tratado en el período bajomedieval.
