This article wants to analyze some printed plays that they were written for the secular clergy: on treaties priestly perfection. This literature was intending to increase the training of the clergy to perform with dignity his ministry, such and as the Council of Trent was wanting. Furthermore, these books were serving to build a social identity for the secular clergymen that would differentiate them of the others social orders. In last resort, this difference was serving so that the clergy maintained his privileged position and was permitting that the ecclesiastical control of the society was developed with more force.
