]]> Pietist currents were a normalised reality in the peninsular sphere during the modern age. They were characterised as movements that sought a more active religiosity through an intimate and personal experience of religion. However, at certain junctures, pietistic movements were generated which became heterodox and were consequently persecuted by the religious authorities. Alumbradism was a pietist movement that was very important in the Valencian area during the 17th century, and was studied by professor Cayetano Más Galvañ. It was characterised by the formation of closed groups in which an internalisation of the faith was advocated, the rejection of vocal prayer, abandonment, etc. The ecclesiastical authorities decided to persecute them because they disregarded religious authority and threatened the existence of social barriers.
