One of the most interesting aspects of the personality of Carlos Monsivais, was his Protestant faith. This faith is not acquired as a former Catholic, but that came from family, his mother Dona Esther Monsivais. Monsivais authored the book "Protestantism, diversity and tolerance" (National Commission on Human Rights, 2002) and of course, was also an intellectual who defended the rights of religious minorities, particularly Protestant followers and institutions. The "encyclopedia" of Monsivais, ie its cultural heritage, including first and foremost, the Bible, in the Spanish version of Cassiodorus de Reina and Cipriano de Valera (1569-1602), widely known as King James Bible, the which is updated revisions of 1960 and 1990. Hence Monsivais give great importance, in their imagination, these Spaniards "heterodox" and many other icons, facts and power movements in the history of Reformed Churches, as Jan Hus, Luther, Calvin, Theodore Beza, Zwingli, John Bunyan, John Milton, Puritans, Quakers, Sunday School, Huguenot, Admiral de Coligny, the St. Bartholomew's, D'Aubigné Aggripa, John Wesley, John Brown, Karl Barth, Martin Luther King, Desmond Tutu.
