| Sumario: | This article analyzes the body of work of Agustin Rivera y Sanroman, a liberal cleric from the late 19th Century. It analyzes the development of his conciliatory discourse, making references to his works, historic episodes and contemporary controversies in France. Rivera criticized both ultramontanism and secularization, situating his discourse from the perspective of a Catholic anthropology that was concerned with moral reflection through “character portraits,” a discourse that was nevertheless compatible with the idea of modern progress. As the years went by, his discourse refined itself to incorporate authors such as Rousseau and events such as the French Revolution. |
