Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate relationship between the Catholic Church and the Spanish monarchy during the 18th century, a period marked by rising anti-clerical sentiment and Enlightenment ideals. The author meticulously examines the reign of Charles III of Spain, focusing on the expulsion of the Jesuits and the broader political and intellectual currents that shaped this pivotal event. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a Europe grappling with questions of secularization, regal authority, and the role of religious orders in society. The author skillfully analyzes the influence of key figures such as the Spanish Minister Bernardo Tanucci, whose animosity towards the Church and the Jesuits played a crucial role in shaping Charles III's policies. The book explores the complex interplay of political maneuvering, ideological clashes, and personal motivations that led to the Jesuits' downfall in Spain. By delving into the intellectual and political landscape of the time, the author sheds light on the tensions between tradition and reform, faith and reason, and the Church's struggle to maintain its influence in an era of changing values. This book offers valuable insights into a transformative period in European history, revealing the enduring impact of the 18th-century Enlightenment on the Catholic Church and its relationship with the Spanish monarchy.
