The Council of Trent was a major event in the history of Christianity. It shaped Roman Catholicism's doctrine and practice for the next four hundred years and continues to do so today. The literature on the Council is vast and in numerous languages. This Companion, written by an international group of leading researchers, brings together the latest scholarship on the principal issues treated at the Council: the relationship between Scripture and Tradition, original sin, justification, the sacraments (Baptism, Penance, Confirmation, Eucharist, Holy Orders, Marriage, and the Annointing of the Sick), sacred images, sacred music, and its reform of religious orders, the training of the clergy, the provision of pastoral care in the parish setting, and the implementation of its decrees. The volume demonstrates that the Council unwittingly furthered the papal centralization of authority by allowing the interpretation of its decrees to be the exclusive prerogative of the Holy See, and entrusting it with their implementation.

La investigación sobre la historia de las universidades se incardina en una tradición que profundiza en diversos aspectos: poderes internos y externos –reyes y pontífices–, sus miembros –escolares y doctores–, enseñanzas y estudios, patrimonio, ritos y costumbres. El análisis de la inserción en la sociedad de sus profesores y graduados, de sus saberes, exige especialistas diversos que aporten su conocimiento sobre distintas épocas y disciplinas para el avance de la historiografía sobre las universidades hispanas. En esta labor, el intercambio y la crítica son imprescindibles, así como el contacto con la comunidad científica a través de la lectura y de la relación con otr...
English Catholic voices, once disregarded as merely confessional, are now acknowledged to provide important perspectives on Elizabethan society. Based on extensive archival research, this book builds on previous studies for the first thorough investigation of the Jesuit mission to England during a critical period between the unsuccessful armadas of 1588 and 1597, a period during which the mission was threatened as much by internal Catholic conflict as it was by the crown. To address properly events in England, the study fully engages with the situation in Ireland, Scotland and the continent so as to contextualize the ambitions, methods and effects of the Jesuit mission. For England felt thre...

Los estudios sobre aspectos patrimoniales y artísticos constituyen una de las líneas de investigación en historia de las Universidades Hispánicas que mayor desarrollo han tenido en los últimos treinta años. Las publicaciones en forma de artículos, capítulos de libros y monografías se han multiplicado, en especial en lo que se refiere a universidades históricas que cuentan con importantes conjuntos monumentales: Salamanca, Coímbra, Alcalá, Santiago de Compostela… Cabe señalar que, en el marco de la recuperación patrimonial de estos ámbitos, se han desarrollado importantes investigaciones arqueológicas. La historiografía universitaria salmantina, en lo que se refiere a la hi...
In 1598, Jesuit missions in Ireland, Scotland, and England were either suspended, undermanned, or under attack. With the Elizabethan government’s collusion, secular clerics hostile to Robert Persons and his tactics campaigned in Rome for the Society’s removal from the administration of continental English seminaries and from the mission itself. Continental Jesuits alarmed by the English mission’s idiosyncratic status within the Society, sought to restrict the mission’s privileges and curb its independence. Meanwhile the succession of Queen Elizabeth I, the subject that dared not speak its name, had become a more pressing concern. One candidate, King James VI of Scotland, courted Catholic support with promises of conversion. His peaceful accession in 1603 raised expectations, but as the royal promises went unfulfilled, anger replaced hope.
