| Resumo: | This work offers a study of the Dominican friar Jaume Rebullosa (ca. 1560–1621), his work and his alignment with the tridentine program of catholic reason of state as theorized by Giovanni Botero. Through an analysis of Rebullosa’s writings, the study proposes an interpretation of his role in the process of confessionalization, carried out primarily through preaching over more than two decades throughout Catalonia. The central hypothesis is that Rebullosa played a key role in disseminating catholic reason of state within the Hispanic monarchy. Notably, he was among the first to translate Botero’s Relazioni Universali and the first to render into spanish the final five treatises on reason of state. Beyond his translations, the study explores his practical engagement with this political doctrine through preaching and the promotion of a new culture of obedience —an endeavor considered urgent by both ecclesiastical and secular authorities in the context of the Wars of Religion. To support this argument, this work expands Rebullosa’s biography with a particular focus on his social networks, using the concept of epistemic setting as a methodological framework. This approach sheds light not only on his intellectual commitments but also on the ideological motivations underpinning his work. The second part of the study presents a comparative analysis between Botero’s original texts and Rebullosa’s translations, with close attention to recent historiographical interpretations of the Relazioni Universali. Finally, the work examines the sermons published by Rebullosa between 1614 and 1621, analyzing the theological and political significance of concepts such as “will,” “obedience,” and “predestination.” This analysis aims to uncover the discursive mechanisms through which Rebullosa—and by extension, other clerics— sought to instill a form of political and religious obedience grounded in faith. The study ultimately demonstrates the relation between the theory of Catholic reason of state and its practical application by preachers who maintained direct and sustained contact with local communities across Catalonia |
