Resumo
The earthquake of October 9, 1680, with epicenter in Malaga, was felt in all Andalusia. Under a sacred society, its spiritual effects were immediate, designed by the Church. The severe conmotion caused is reflected in relationships, petitions, sermons and pastoral letters. Given the magnitude of the divine punishment (pedagogy of fear), there isn ́t another way that the contrition and conversion, both individually and collectively. Information and interpretation are mixed in these documents, that invite to rebuild the moral order, which is also social order; all these things with a careful strategy by the Church. This is reflected in religious services, processions and popular missions.
