La Exclaustración es una obra clásica de la historiografía hispánica. Agotada desde hace más de 30 años y nunca reeditada, CEU Ediciones se complace en devolver al lector de lengua española una de las mejores obras publicadas en la pasada centuria, sobre un hecho histórico silenciado e insuficientemente estudiado: la supresión de órdenes religiosas en España, en el período de 1833 a 1840, germen de posteriores persecuciones religiosas en el mismo suelo.
This contribution to European historical literature provides a clear and dispassionate account of successive ecclesiastical-secular conflicts and controversies in Spain and deftly summarizes the diverse ideological and intellectual currents of the times.
This book analyzes attempts by radical Spanish republicans to construct an anticlerical-nationalist vision of Spain, focusing in particular on the the mass production by the 'anticlertical industry' of newspapers, novels, poems, cartoons, posters, postcards and plays put out by republican muckrakers, journalists, and politicians.
The Splendor and Opulence of the Past traces the career of Jaume Caresmar (1717–1791), a church historian and a key figure of the Catalan Enlightenment who transcribed tens of thousands of parchments to preserve and glorify Catalonia's medieval past in the face of its diminishing autonomy. As Paul Freedman shows, Caresmar's books, essays, and transcriptions—some only recently discovered—provide fresh insights into the Middle Ages as remembered in modern Catalonia and illustrate how a nation's past glories and humiliations can inform contemporary politics and culture. From the ninth to the sixteenth centuries, Catalonia was a thriving, independent set of principalities within what would...
Este libro recorre la Iglesia española de los siglos XIX y XX deteniéndose en diez episodios: una guerra(Independencia), una institución (Inquisición), una restauración (Compañía de Jesús), un tipo sacerdotal (el cura liberal exaltado), una desamortización (de bienes culturales), una devoción (Corazón de Jesús), un santo (José María Rubio), un régimen político (segunda república), una noble tarea (cultura católica) y un sector del clero (los religiosos). Son asuntos enigmáticos, contradictorios o sorprendentes. En su tiempo plantearon interpretaciones dispares y todavía hoy suscitan polémicas. ¿De qué manera afrancesados y patriotas aplicaron el sentido religioso de la...
In An Overview of the Pre-suppression Society of Jesus in Spain, Patricia W. Manning offers a survey of the Society of Jesus in Spain from its origins in Ignatius of Loyola’s early preaching to the aftereffects of its expulsion. Rather than nurture the nascent order, Loyola’s homeland was often ambivalent. His pre-Jesuit freelance sermonizing prompted investigations. The young Society confronted indifference and interference from the Spanish monarchy and outright opposition from other religious orders. This essay outlines the order’s ministerial and pedagogical activities, its relationship with women and with royal institutions, including the Spanish Inquisition, and Spanish members’ roles in theological debates concerning casuistry, free will, and the immaculate conception. It also considers the impact of Jesuits’ non-religious writings.
In The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola: Contexts, Sources, Reception, Terence O’Reilly examines the historical, theological and literary contexts in which the Exercises took shape.

This edited collection brings together scholars from Canadian and international institutions to discuss educationalization, a trend in modern societies that involves transferring social responsibilities onto the school system. This book brings a new dimension to the literature on educationalization by examining the concept in relation to Catholicism, Indigenous issues, the right to education, and historical studies grounded in both Canada and Chile. In these contributions, the book represents an attempt to both deepen the current discussion on the construction and use of educationalization as a concept as well as invite further exploration of this subject in relation to the increasing digitalization of life in the twenty-first century.
