Religious history in Portugal from Lusitania Sacra (1720) to the Enciclopédia de História Religiosa (2023): an overview

The religious history in Portugal remains fragmented despite the progress made, especially in the last four decades, compared with other European historiographies. This article intends to identify factors that explain the Portuguese religious history landscape through an exhaustive diachronic presentation of the main works and authors. It aims to present the fundamental milestones of the field’s evolution, both thematically and institutionally. The ambiguous relationship between national memory and the hegemonic Catholic religious tradition, the ideological and political debates surrounding the late modern reset of national identity benchmarks, and the impacts of a dictatorial experience that conditioned the academic landscape for almost 50 years are the reasons for the late emergence of religious history in Portugal and its discreet presence in the academy. After establishing the essential chronology and underlining the main results, this article will outline Portuguese religious historiography’s most pressing tasks and challenges.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

O clero paroquial e a I República: nova abordagem à querela das pensões (1910-1917)

The process of identity reconfiguration of the parish priests was a crucial element of the social, political and religious dispute in the transition from the monarchy to the republican regime in Portugal. The State laicization led to a profound change in the identity, roles and institutional framework of the parish priests, who until then were both ecclesiastical and civil agents. This article, resuming from new sources a subject disputed by the protagonists and never satisfactorily addressed by historiography, aims to measure the impact that the sustenance model proposed by the Law of Separation – pensions – had on parish activity. It is intended to consider this dispute in a broader chronological scope which allows to: understand the relationship between the ecclesiastical identity and its sustenance; clarify the diversity of motives presented by the parish priests to accept or decline the pension; determine the consequences of those attitudes in the context of the identity transformation of the Portuguese State and of the Catholic Church in Portugal, which occurred simultaneously.O processo de reconfiguração identitária do clero paroquial foi um elemento crucial da disputa social, política e religiosa na transição do regime monárquico para o republicano em Portugal. A laicização do Estado implicou uma alteração profunda na identidade, funções e enquadramento institucional do clero paroquial, até então agente simultaneamente eclesiástico e civil. Retoma-se, a partir de novas fontes, uma questão disputada pelos protagonistas e nunca aquilatada satisfatoriamente pela historiografia: a aferição do impacto que teve a modalidade de sustentação da atividade paroquial proposta pela Lei da Separação – as pensões. Pretende-se enquadrar essa disputa num quadro cronológico mais amplo que permita: compreender a relação entre a identidade eclesiástica e a sua sustentação; esclarecer a diversidade de motivações apresentadas pelo clero paroquial para aceitar ou recusar a pensão; determinar as consequências dessas atitudes no quadro da transformação identitária do Estado Português e da Igreja Católica em Portugal, que ocorreu em simultâneo
