| Summary: | In 1804, the Court of the Inquisition was living its last moments. Far from the great initial persecutions against Jews and Moors, the Holy Office seemed to languish, but certainly, although with less force than in past times, still was a formidable instrument of repression. In this context, Àgueda Guimerà, a single mother, and therefore criticized and mistreated, had to face a denunciation for slander by her confessor in which the suspicion of the crime of solicitation in the act of confession was floating in the air. En 1804, el Tribunal de la Inquisició vivia els seus darrers moments. Lluny de les grans persecucions inicials contra jueus i moriscos, el Sant Ofici semblava llanguir, però sense dubte, tot i que amb menys força que en temps passats, encara era un instrument formidable de repressió. En aquest context, Àgueda Guimerà, mare soltera, i per això criticada i maltractada, va haver de fer front a una denúncia per calúmnies per part del seu confessor en què en tot moment plana la sospita del delicte de sol·licitació en acte de confessió |
