| Sumario: | This article analyzes the complete corpus of sermons and speeches published by Agustín Rivera between 1854 and 1916. The objective here is to precisely identify the way in which this author articulated the juncture between tradition and modernity and between Catholic theology and liberal ideology from the pulpit and the podium, following his education and career as a public speaker in order to identify both the commonalities and differences contained in these texts, as well as the paradoxes of his social project, in particular with respect to the principle of equality. By examining his corpus as a whole, it is possible to recognize an attempt to integrate the principles of modernity into theology, granting certain autonomy to the spheres of politics and science, yet maintaining gender, ethnic and class hierarchies, as well as the subordination of art to morality. |
