By desacralizing power and frontal attacks on the clergy, the crown, according to William B. Taylor, undermined its own legitimacy, since parish priests had been traditionally the "natural local representatives of their Catholic king."William B. Taylor, "Early Latin American Social History" in Reliving the Past: The Worlds of Social History. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press 1985, p. 149.

Dualism has greatly influenced not only religion but science as well. By desacralizing the natural world, dualism has left it vulnerable to exploitation and damage. The field of secular theology, a subfield of liberal theology advocated by Anglican bishop John A. T. Robinson somewhat paradoxically combines secularism and theology. Recognized in the 1960s, it was influenced both by neo-orthodoxy, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Harvey Cox, and the existentialism of Søren Kierkegaard and Paul Tillich.

Various works in this series also display their author's sympathy for the urban underclass, showing the beggars' losing battle with the natural elements, or unloved old women reduced to envying the happy couples they meet on the street.Cioculescu, pp. 386–387 In more or less allusive poems, included by Cioculescu among the "desacralizing" texts, Caragiale also tests the limits of propriety, and questions the sexual taboos of his generation, from schoolgirls fantasizing about being kept women, to the moral severity imposed on churchgoers and the impact of sexual inhibition on the subconscious.Cioculescu, pp.

From his first trash cans, Jose Ramon Gonzalez named them Concept of Garbage, a title that clarifies an interest in offering something more than a decorative piece. The object transcends as an idea, not as an end in itself, not even as a resource of the idea, because it commands not to grant it importance as such. His discursive strategy is widened by varying the contents of the trash cans, combining them with other objects -banks, bullets, dolls- (bank of patience, 1986), or dropping them into any corner of an imaginary street (Bad time, 1987). The strong desacralizing load of his works, the renewing proposal of redefinition of art with prominence in the idea, the transgression of the genre by his sculptural association, support it of the installation experience, accredits Jose Ramon Gonzalez, among the 10 most outstanding postmodern artists of Cuban ceramics.
