Abstract

The history of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary is one of the clearest exponents of the devotions born of popular religiosity, which defends these beliefs and gives worship (homage) to the theological disputes and the doubts of the magisterium. In this sense, one of the most unique events was the inventions of the so-called Lead Books (Libros Plúmbeos) in Granada at the end of the 16th century. Among other things they defended that the apostles recognized the Immaculate Conception, although they did it based on texts of the Koran and statements of Mohammed due to the influence of the Moorish Granadians (Moriscos Granadions) descending of the Muslim population. Despite of the obvious contradictions of theologians and numerous Andalusian Catholics, based on these supposed revelations condemned by Rome although supported by the Hispanic monarchy, they obtained the proclamation of a decree of Pope Paul V, in 1617, by which is forbade the defense of The doctrines that denied the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin.
