Desde el antijudaísmo cristiano al antisemitismo
A partir de la distinción entre antijudaísmo, antisemitismo y antisionismo, la expulsión de los judíos de España –acontecimiento trágico para la vida de innumerables personas– es revisitado y analizado, comparativamente, con el racismo fascista italiano.Evitando caer en simplificaciones y respuestas atemporales, en el artículo se examinan la actitud casi servil de la elite intelectual y la sordera colectiva de la abrumadora mayoría del pueblo ita…
Trent and Beyond. The Council, Other Powers, Other Cultures
Trent and Beyond
"For centuries, the Council of Trent has been studied as a fundamental episode in European history wherein doctrinal and institutional unity was lost. Although the Council decrees nowhere refer to the contexts of the peoples met by Christopher Columbus, nor to the Cathay regions rediscovered by missionaries, nor to their religions, their superstitions or their political systems, the Council was nonetheless a global event. The Roman Church, which …
The Two Standards
The Ignatian meditation on the two standards introduces the moment of “elección” in the itinerary established by the Spiritual Exercises . This was a key passage for Jesuit vocations, which very often flourished as a result of the experience of the Exercises . From the earliest years of the Society, the great success of the Spiritual Exercises stimulated historical research into the origins of the text. According to Jerónimo Nadal, the inspiratio…

Italia
Italy: civil identity and Catholic identity - The 150th anniversary of Italian unification next year coincides with a critical phase, both in society (financial and economic crisis, mass immigrant workers without civil rights) and in the state (affirmation of a plebiscitary-television right-wing regime). In this context the authorities in the Catholic church have adopted an aggressive policy on the terrain of bio-ethical questions: abortion, cont…
Uma discussão com Paolo Prodi
The article proposes a critical appraisal of Paolo Prodi's Una storia della giustizia, recently translated in Portuguese. Soma problems are evoked, concerning the notion of justice as a ensemble of rules as well as a ehtos; concerning the concept of revolution with which Paolo Prodi works, and the problem of rupture and continuity; and, finally, concerning the place given by the author to the modern Inquisition
L'Immaculée Conception à Séville et la fondation sacrée de la monarchie espagnole
This paper first deals with the theological intentions of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception in the Middle Ages, and continues to demonstrate that the decisive phase of the triumph of this doctrine took place in Spain in the first third of the seventeenth century. It was vigorously sustained by the Franciscans against the Dominicans, who were «maculist » , celebrated with great pomp in Sevilla, and supported by Philip III in 1616. So relig…
