101. But What About The Faith? Catholicism And Liberalism In Nineteenth Century Spain

, was destined to take control of the Spanish cortes and initiate an aggressive campaign against the Church. This second liberal siege against Catholicism between 1820 and 1823, featured not only the usual utilitarian and "enlightened" ministerial and parliamentary efforts to alter Spain's ecclesiastical institutional structure and economic base, but in the most extreme of the it introduced into that land a thrust toward secularization. During that three-year period, attacks against the Church reminiscent of the darkest days of the French Revolution were common. The Inquisition was once again abolished, the Jesuits were expelled for the second time, monastic orders were suppressed, and the size of religious communities was so severely restricted that many were forced to close. In their anxiousness to "modernize" Spain's ecclesiastical structure, the showed little appreciation for the sacral importance of the religious orders and congregations which they attacked. Again, in the name of reform, the - dominated Spanish cortes of 1822 prohibited any further ordinations to the priesthood until the cortes' own clerical changes were put into place.14 In early 1823 those ecclesiastical measures were implemented throughout Spain, with the organizational and economic modifications which they imposed upon the Church patterned after French revolutionary precedents. Diocesan and parochial boundaries were redrawn to conform more closely with the political map of Spain, the Church tithe was set aside, a special tax was created ostensibly to pay the salaries of the clergy and nuns, secularization of male and female religious communities was vigorously pursued, and papal authority in that formerly "safe" Roman Catholic stronghold was systematically ignored. Even though many liberal clergy supported the actions of the

In a daily newspaper, L'Avenir, with its motto "God and Liberty," Lamennais advanced his revolutionary program: freedom of conscience and religion (necessitating the abolition of concordats between the papacy and civil governments and the stopping both of state payment of clergy and of state intervention in the appointment of bishops); freedom (not a monopoly) for the church in education; liberty of the press; freedom of association; universal suffrage; and decentralization of government. C R F de Montalembert (1810 - 70), historian and publicist, entered the French Parliament in 1837, seeking to catholicize liberals and to liberalize Catholics. His greatest political victory was the passage in 1850 of the Falloux law, which allowed the development of a Catholic secondary education system independent of the state system. The commitment by liberal Catholics to education was accompanied by an emphasis on preaching, then unusual in the Roman Catholic Church. The greatest liberal Catholic preacher was the Dominican J B H Lacordaire (1802 - 61), who attracted vast crowds especially to his Lenten conferences at Notre Dame Cathedral, where his impassioned sermons combined the call for liberty in church and state with ultramontanism (centralization of papal authority in matters of church government and doctrine).

  • (100%, 2 ratings) submitted by Ignatius B , 81%, 48 ratings), Mar 20, 05
    Pentecost is considered the birthday of the church because until that time they were afraid and in hiding. That would make the beginning of the Catholic Church in about 33 AD.
    During the early years, between 33 and about 107 the name Catholic (meaning "universal" in Greek) came into usage and has hung on ever since.
    The name is first used in a historical letter from Ignatius of Antioch who was both a disciple and a close friend of the apostle St.John, and who was bishop of the church in Antioch (Remember Antioch...where we were first called "Christians" in Acts 11:26). Ignatius was thrown to wild animals in Rome during the persecutions. After his arrest he wrote letters to a bunch of the churches, among them, one to the Smyrneans that we have copies of. Here is the relevent part: "CHAP. VIII.LET NOTHING BE DONE WITHOUT THE BISHOP.
    See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Christ Jesus does the Father, and the presbytery as ye would the apostles. Do ye also reverence the deacons, as those that carry out[through their office] the appointment of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper(18) Eucharist, which is[administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it.

    Reflect: When I was around 9 years old, I remember making a change in how I was living. It was time to give up my Superman bed sheets for something more “grown up.” It wasn’t easy. I moved on to the new “NFL” sheets and left Superman behind. Even though I was excited to now be sleeping on football sheets, it was hard leaving the “old self.” Today’s first reading (Col. 3), speaks of leaving the old self in a much bigger way than my childhood bed sheets. God is asking us to leave our old ways – those things that keep us from Him – and give ourselves completely to him. If we look at ourselves honestly, we need to change more than just our sheets!

    The great law of analogy is everywhere the master key of all spiritual mysteries, and, although Masonry and Catholicism do not begin till we arrive at the Earth Period, they have their prototype in the earlier Periods; we shall therefore briefly touch upon the essential facts. In the Saturn Period, the Earth-in-the-making was dark; HEAT, which is the manifestation of the ever invisible fire, was the only element then manifest; embryonic mankind was mineral-like, the only lower kingdom of evolving life. Unity was everywhere observable, and the Lords of Mind who were human then, were at one among themselves. In the Western Wisdom Teaching we speak of the highest Initiate of the Saturn Period as THE FATHER.

    What is anti-Catholicism?
    This page is devoted to identifying anti-Catholicism on the Web. Anti-Catholicism (like anti-Semitism in some ways) is not easy to define. I am often tempted to apply the "definition" of pornography advanced by Justice Stewart of the United States Supreme Court: "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it." My definition is drawn from the history of anti-Catholicism in America: I believe that modern anti-Catholicism continues (with some interesting variations) the religious themes of the Protestant Reformation and the secular (anti-clerical) themes of the Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment periods. In the United States these two strands became intertwined in nineteenth century Nativism, and they have continued (though attenuated) up to the present. Their presence on the Web simply reflects the fact that all kinds of ideas (mainstream and marginal) are now disseminated in this way. Anti-Catholic themes may be loosely categorized as follows:
  • attacking Catholicism as being un-Christian or a cult (in the pejorative and not the sociological sense);

    Religious Anti-Catholicism
    Religious anti-Catholicism is rooted in the Reformation, and was once an acceptable part of most Protestant demoninations. Since the advent of the ecumenical movement afterWorld War II, and especially since Vatican II in the early 1960's, anti-Catholicism has either quietly faded or been explicitly dropped by the majority of Protestant churches. The people, churches and organizations listed below are very conservative Protestant Christians, with many (and possibly a majority) being fundamentalists, in the technical sense of adhering to the so-called five fundamentals. Another common (though not universal) feature is adherence to the belief that the King James Bible is the only acceptable English translation. (This link provides further information on fundamentalism .) They continue the traditional polemics of the Reformation and 19th century American Nativism, but they also incorporate ideas from secular anti-Catholicism. The number of sites which fall in this category continues to grow, and it is now almost impossible to document them all. Below I have retained all the sites which were part of my original web site, and I have added additional sites that I have found or which were suggested to me. Many of these sites contain links to additional sites not given; there is even a web-ring devoted to anti-catholicism.

    SEARCHING, FINDING,
    AND THE CATHOLIC HISTORY OF TEXAS PHILIP GLEASON
    May not be reproduced electronically or mechanically without permission of Catholic Southwest. A number of years ago, I came across a passage from St. Augustine that seemed to me an ideal motto for a historian. Although I tacked it up before my desk and have always found it a source of inspiration, I have been delinquent in failing to share it with others. This occasion seems appropriate for repairing that omission. I 'wish, therefore, to recommend to the promoters of this journal, and to all those who will fill its pages in the future, these words of the great African saint and father of the Church: "Let our search then be such that we can be sure of finding, and let our finding be such that we go on searching." Augustine did not have history in mind when he wrote those lines. They occur, rather, in his treatise on the mystery of the Trinity; but the idea expressed is highly relevant to history. For as H.I. Marrou explains in quoting this passage, Augustine thought of the "mysteries" of faith as inexhaustible depths of spiritual richness, through which the soul could advance endlessly "from light to light, never arriving at its goal, but never ceasing to acquire more light." We historians, of course, work on a different level and make no claim to penetrate the mysteries of faith. But with searching and finding, and continuing to search, we are familiar enough. At times we do indeed "acquire more light;' and those of us interested in religious history deal with mysteries not unrelated to faith. By analogy, then, St. Augustine does speak to us, and I believe we ought to take his words to heart.
