| Summary: |
In 1820 the Spanish clergy complied with the order of the civil authority to swear the Constitution. This act was actually a formality, since the ecclesiastical hierarchy rejected outright the reformist policy of the constitutional regime and accused liberalism of attacking the Church and religion. The confrontation between the civil power and the ecclesiastical one got worse with time, until it reached the rupture. The core of the disagreement was not religion, nor the Church itself, which everyone respected, but the dispute for power between the two authorities. This text tries to explain this rupture, putting the focus of attention on the actions of the nuncio to the Holy See and some Spanish bishops. |
