Educational discourse in Spain during the early Franco regime (1936–1943): toward a genealogy of doctrine and concepts
2015
In this article an analysis is undertaken of Spanish educational discourse during the early years of the Franco regime, from the Civil War (1936–1939) to the establishment of the Nuevo Estado or New State (1939–1943), employing Reinhart Koselleck’s principles of conceptual history. Without totally spurning the totalitarian and fascist ideology of the new regime, this educational discourse constructed an imagined community of Espana Nacional (Nationalist Spain) by means of a historical narrative that began with the uprising led by General Franco in July 1936. The discourse sought to recover the importance of the nation’s traditions so as to promote a conceptual and symbolic imaginary that mi…

<em>Niger fluvius</em>: aguas oscuras y dioses infernales. El caso de Endovélico
2017
El agua posee un importante valor simbólico en numerosos complejos religiosos, pero cuando cuenta, además, con una coloración oscura, constituye un nexo privilegiado con el ámbito subterráneo. El presente artículo incide en la relación entre santuarios dedicados a divinidades infernales y los «ríos negros», al tiempo que analiza el caso concreto de Endovellicus y su centro de culto de San Miguel de Mota (Portugal).
Not Race, but Grace: Presbyterian Missionaries and American Indians, 1837-1893
1980
Race, writes George W. Stocking, Jr., was "a characteristically nineteenthcentury phenomenon." Historians of articulate racial thought in America generally believe that the optimism of the eighteenth century gave way in the nineteenth to pessimism in matters of race. Growing numbers of scientists, and perhaps nonscientists too, came to believe that certain races were innately inferior, retarded by inherited qualities that were unchangeable or changeable only over long periods of time, and that cultural manifestations were the product primarily of biological endowment. By late in the century, according to Stocking, "race and culture were linked in a single evolutionary hierarchy extending fr…
Celebracje Wielkiego Tygodnia tradycji zachodniosyryjskiej w Kościele Syromalankarskim w Indiach
2018
Holy Week constitutes the climax of the liturgical life of every Christian community. Having a common base in Jerusalem, different communities shared a common heritage in the celebrations of these special sacred times. But each liturgical family created its own special background for the celebrations. One of the interesting and yet less-known areas of cultural accommodation of the liturgy is without any doubt India, where Christianity existed from the early centuries of Christendom. In this study attention is focused on the Holy Week celebrations of the Syro-Malankara Church, which is a branch of the West-Syriac Tradition. Describing the celebrations one can affirm the truth of the ancient …

The Holy Sinful Church: Towards a More Realistic Catholic Ecclesiology
2021
Abstract This article demonstrates that in Roman Catholic ecclesiology, it would be more justifiable and realistic to fully accept the concept of the sinfulness of the Church as a whole, not only that of its individual members. The piece begins with a short review and commentary on the doctrinal position of the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) that provides a doctrinal basis for adopting and developing the notion of a ‘sinful Church’. Then, two contemporary activities of the Roman Catholic Church are analysed in which the notion of the ‘sinful Church’ has played an important role: the Great Jubilee act of confession, with the related explanations and commentaries, and the ecumenical dialo…
