This article examines the annual public procession in Lima, Peru, of the Señor de los Milagros (Lord of Miracles) in relation to issues at the intersection of Catholic Christianity, media, and political authority. Through a theopolitical lens alert to the intermeshing of political sovereignty and authority with theological (Catholic) worldviews, I inquire into media and the Señor de los Milagros procession along three key intersecting themes that link scales of local and global Catholicism: performance, identity/belonging, and control. Key to my argument is the idea of the miraculous (lo milagroso), a culturally resonant register of embodied affective experience with compelling power, which points to how senses of belonging, authority, and ‘proper’ Catholic subjecthoods are intensified by Catholicism's diffusion through new mediatic forms, especially in church-generated productions. A consideration of media technologies, mediation, and Catholicism nuances theoretical assumptions within the anthropology of Christianity, and also suggests that the anthropology of religion should attend more closely to mediation and mediatization as newer media infrastructures – channelling flows of information, images, and affects – extend ‘the religious’ into other social spheres.

调解（化）天主教：秘鲁利马的圣人、景观和神政治

本文探讨了秘鲁利马 Señor de los Milagros（奇迹之王）在天主教、媒体和政治权威的交叉点上举行的年度公众游行。通过对政治主权和权威与神学（天主教）世界观相互交织的警觉的神政治镜头，我沿着三个关键的交叉主题探究媒体和 Señor de los Milagros 游行，这些主题将地方和全球天主教的尺度联系起来：表演、身份/归属感, 和控制。我论证的关键是奇迹（lo milagroso)，一个具有强烈力量的具身情感体验的文化共鸣记录，它指出了归属感、权威感和“适当的”天主教主体性如何随着天主教通过新的媒介形式的传播而得到强化，特别是在教会产生的作品中。对媒体技术、调解和天主教的考虑会影响基督教人类学中的理论假设，并表明宗教人类学应该更密切地关注调解和调解作为新的媒体基础设施——引导信息、图像和影响的流动——将“宗教”扩展到其他社会领域。
