| Abstract |
After the Council of Trent counter-reformist literature that addresses the way to confess proliferates. The juridization of this sacrament and the controversies established between Protestants and Catholics, Jansenists and Orthodox, contricionists and atricionists, demanded some clarity in order to validly administer a sacrament to some extent turned into magic act and exposed to scruples of conscience. At the end of his days, Pastor de los Cobos wrote a sample of this, in which, in addition to transcending the theological topics of the moment, he presents Penance as an event of divine mercy, underlines its processuality and even glimpses what can be called the intentional causality of the sacrament. © 2022 Kwartalnik Historii Nauki i Techniki.
