El impacto de ese desastre en el mundo hispano se entrecruzó con el avance de las ciencias y la comprensión de la naturaleza. Diversas propuestas de un clero progresista y academicista permitieron explicar dichos fenómenos; no obstante, la sociedad y una facción tradicional de la Iglesia reforzó, a través del miedo, sus propios mecanismos de protección ante esas vulnerabilidades.
