The article presents the sentence of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura regarding the expulsion of a nun known as Sister X from the Congregation for the Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. After several appeals and appeals, the tribunal confirmed the expulsion of the nun on January 26, 2008. The article also discusses the possibility of revoking an administrative act without the consent of the competent authority and mentions the confusing actions of the Superior General in the case. A definitive conclusion is not reached in the article. [Extracted from the article]

In light of commentary on two rulings by the Apostolic Signatura on the expulsion of a nun from religious life, the essential aspects of the right to defense (possible adversarial and forensic technical assistance) in the procedure for such expulsion are discussed; and the reasons for the end of litigation before the Apostolic Signatura, especially through conciliation between the parties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a decree from the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura regarding the expulsion of a nun. After several attempts at admonishment, the nun was expelled in March 2002 without being notified of the reason. After appeals and recourse, the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life confirmed the expulsion in May 2005. The alleged violation of the law in the process and the decision to expel the nun are discussed, but it is concluded that there are no legal grounds to challenge the congregation's expulsion decree.

Based on the Body without Organs proposal, this article analyzes the discovery of sor Juana Inés de la Cruz's Ofrecimientos para el Santo Rosario de quince misterios que se ha de rezar el día de los Dolores de Nuestra Señora la Virgen María, in the Poor Clare nun sor Josefa de Castillo's prayer book. First, the contents of this manuscript, which is a task initiated by Darío Achury, are presented in full. Then, the article reflects on translatio and imitatio as literary practices of epistemological appropriation and redistribution for the consolidation of a project of feminine self-government. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article we collect the first data elaborated from the Moncat database that gathers data of 9,800 religious who professed between 1850 and 1936 from a systematic emptying of the population registers of Catalonia. From these data we reconstruct the geography of the origin of nuns in Catalonia, the relationship between origin and congregations, the origin of the nuns according to whether they were cities with or without a diocese and the average length of stay in the convents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At the end of the 17th century, the community of Sancti Spiritus de Puente la Reina (Navarra) was altered by the development of a criminal process against the community's perpetual vicar. His arrival prompted changes that affected the daily lives of these nuns and generated factions and internal instability. The study of this process allows us to analyse the power dynamics that converged, evolved and manoeuvred in a context of tension. Also, it provides information about the possible motivations of the opposing parties and the resources they used to defend their own objectives. Apparently, due to inadequacy of spiritual relationships, a faction of the community denounced these shortcomings. Ultimately, the confession will be used as an argument to defend the ways of life to which this group of women was accustomed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Between 1575 and 1651, 13 convents were founded in a large part of what is now the territory of the Republic of Colombia. In this article, we analyse the links between these convents and the social and economic environment in which they arose. We aim to study how these institutions functioned as true sounding boards and alternatives to the needs of the social whole, which promoted them in a clear interaction of ideological, social, and economic factors. This perspective attempts to be global and will, therefore, require an examination of regional contexts and their productive possibilities, capable of sustaining religious communities according to the regulations from the Council of Trent. This article approaches a broad historiographical base for a better contextualization of the documentary sources that reveal the beginnings of the convents. The varied bibliography and documents will support a deep and accurate analysis of the social links that the female religious institutions created between the 16th and 17th centuries, and the settlement processes linked to the emergence of female convents and their presence in the Castilianisation of the urban areas of the Audiencia of Santa Fe and the Government of Popayán.

The conceptual framework of the article draws on the philosophy of alterity understood as a relational one in order to rethink the mystical and theological discourses of early modern female religious authors where the alterity, considered as a concept and as an experience, is apprehended on four interrelated levels, namely: that of the representation of oneself; of the relationship with the other; of transcendence; and the one of language. In the light of these assumptions, the study analyses the selected work of Teresa de Jesús María (O. C. D., 1592-1641) in which the alterity became an effective discursive tool to endorse her theological interpretation and biblical exegesis. The article also contributes complementary unpublished documentation from the convent of the Discalced Carmelites of the Incarnation in Cuerva (Toledo). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the relationship between Teresa de Jesús and America through her letters and foundations. The figure of Captain Antonio Morán is highlighted, who was a friend of Santa Teresa and was in charge of sending her money from Quito to Ávila. Although no evidence of an inscription has been found in the first convent founded by Santa Teresa, it is recognized that America had an economic, rhetorical, and spiritual impact on the writing of the Carmelite nun. Additionally, the distortion of the figure of Teresa de Jesús throughout history is mentioned, as well as the importance of her economic and administrative work in the colonial context.

In this article I will show the cases of two nuns who during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries gave an account of a particular supernatural experience: the journey to distant and non-Christian lands. I speak of Úrsula Suárez, a Chilean nun (1666-1749), and Francisca de los Ángeles, a "beata" from Querétaro (1674-1744). The trips that both experienced take place within the framework of a visionary experience, where it is not the body that moves but the spirit. And since the destination of the trip was unchristianized lands, the purpose of this would be to evangelize through preaching, an activity that was then forbidden for women. They used the space of the vision to carry out the act of preaching. To explain this, I will make a review of the purposes of the monastic and conventual enclosure to show how the spaces of confinement direct and converge in the visionary journey described in colonial conventual writing.

The article titled "The construction of holiness in the Andean region. The life of Blessed Juana de Jesús (1662-1703)" analyzes the hagiography of Juana de Jesús, a Franciscan nun from the Santa Clara monastery in Quito. Although Juana enjoyed a reputation as a saint in the city, she never achieved the same fame as her contemporary Mariana de Jesús. Catalina Andrango-Walker's book is a transcription of Juana's hagiography, which includes a comparative study between Fernández Sierra's text and the Santa María print. The study shows the evolution of Quito's criollo thinking and the printing mechanisms in the Viceroyalty of Peru. [Extracted from the article]

The convent of Dominican nuns of Santa Catalina de Siena in Valladolid-Morelia was a well-established religious institution founded in the 16th century. It served as an important refuge for women belonging to the oligarchy as well as a great activator of the economy during the colonial period due to its practices of moneylending. However, all the economic and social splendour theretofore enjoyed by the institution dwindled throughout the 19th century until it almost passed from existence. This began with the application of reformist measures by the Spanish monarchy, continued through the first stage of the Liberal Reform, traversed the mirage of peace embodied by the Second Mexican Empire and culminated with the robust liberal regulations imposed by the restored Republic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article reports on the murder of a nun in Haiti and several priests in Mexico. Sister Luisa Dell'Orto was a victim of a shooting during a robbery in Haiti, while in Mexico, three priest murders have been reported so far this year. None of these cases seem to have been motivated by hatred towards the faith. The article also mentions other cases of priests and nuns being killed in Haiti in previous years. In Mexico, the murder cases reflect the violence and impunity that the Church faces, and the Jesuit community has requested protection from the government and continues to work for justice and peace in the country.

The article discusses the role of the Catholic Church and the need for a hierarchical structure in the Christian faith. It mentions the rediscovery of the Church as the community of the corpus mysticum after World War I, which led to an increase in conversions to Catholicism. The figure of Edith Stein, a German philosopher who converted to Catholicism in 1922 and witnessed the crisis of the Church at that time, is highlighted. Other personalities who converted to Catholicism in that period are also mentioned. The text presents reflections by Edith Stein on conversion to Christianity and the incarnation of Jesus. Stein expresses that humanity is not a sum of individual lives, but a mysterious organism. She also speaks about the importance of placing trust in the head of that organism and the need to participate in the liberating power of substitution. Additionally, she mentions that participation in liturgical life completely changes one's life. Finally, a speech on Epiphany addressed to the sisters of the Carmel of Echt is mentioned. The writing "Hidden Life and Epiphany" talks about the invisible Church and its relationship with the manger and the incarnation. According to Edith Stein, the invisible Church was formed from Adam and Eve until the incarnation, and it became visible for the first time in the manger. Stein also mentions that light represents the Spirit and that Christmas Eve is the celebration of light. Furthermore, the relationship between the kings and the invisible Church is discussed, highlighting the importance of the Eucharist as part of the divine presence. In this text, Edith Stein reflects on the mystery of the Eucharist and its relationship with the incarnation of Jesus. For her, the Eucharist is the crucial point in the history of the world, and the revolutionary sacrifice of Jesus is present in a timeless way in this sacrament. Eating and drinking the Eucharist means suffering with Him, but it also implies surrendering earthly misery and opening oneself to the breadth of His life. Stein considers that the dogmatic truth of the presence of Christ in the bread and wine has great formative power. Additionally, she highlights that the Church is the hand of the Lord that leads the believer to the closeness of God through the sacraments. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses the publication of "Nós e os Álbums de Guerra" by Alfonso Daniel Rodríguez Castelao, which was originally published almost five decades ago. The new edition includes five volumes with sepia-toned facsimiles of Castelao's works. The first volume contains prologues by Carmen Blanco and Claudio Rodríguez Fer, while the following volumes feature facsimiles of "Nós," "Galicia mártir," "Atila en Galicia," and "Milicianos." The prologues provide an analysis of Castelao's life, artistic style, and the themes of his works. The article highlights the importance of these works and their influence on other authors.

It describes the last decades of the convent life of the Carmelite Nuns of San Sebastian, between 1975 and the year 2020, the date of the convent’s closure. Two perspectives are offered: an internal one, from the point of view of the community of nuns, and an external one from historical perspectives. An appendix of notes and photographs is added. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the course of the 12th century, with the emergence of new monastic orders, including that of Cistercian (1098 AD), the theme of austerity became central to the discussion on the best way of observing the Rule of Saint Benedict, a canonical document on regular life from the 6th century. Conceptions about austerity can be verified, on the one hand, in the Mirror of Charity, by the Cistercian abbot Aelredo de Rivelaux (1110-1167 AD), and, on the other, in the hagiography The life of saint Godric, whose socio-cultural place is the priory from Durham, also in Anglia. Thus, this article intends to prove that there were approaching and distancing concerning the best way to carry out monastic austerity in northern Anglia, at the center of religious renewal in the course of the 12th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a detailed investigation about the Santa Eufemia de Cozuelos monastery, the first female convent of the Military Order of Santiago. The study reconstructs the history and physical structure of the monastery, highlighting its peculiarity as a refuge for women and daughters of knights during periods of sexual abstinence, war campaigns, and widowhood. The research is based on documentary sources, material remains, and technological tools, and offers a virtual reconstruction of the monastery and describes the daily life of the nuns inside. Additionally, the internal organization, level of literacy, and economic situation of the monastery are examined. [Extracted from the article]

This analytical summary presents several articles related to the work and influence of Francisco de Quevedo. The articles highlight the Italian translation of a sonnet by Quevedo dedicated to Mount Vesuvius, the handwritten testimonies of Quevedo's burlesque prose found in the library of Wadham College in Oxford, the contribution of Quevedo and Luis de Góngora to the satirical literary tradition against nuns, the critical trajectory of Quevedo's sonnet "Cerrar podrá mis ojos..." and its influence from Luis de Góngora, the citations of Quevedo's sonnet "Represéntase la brevedad de lo que se vive y cuán nada parece lo que se vivió" in the art criticism and narrative of Italian writer Francesco Biamonti, Borges' assessment of Quevedo's sonnet "Cerrar podrá mis ojos..." and its canonization in Argentine literature, and the literary tributes of Antonio Enríquez Gómez to Quevedo's work. It also presents a reflection on the novel "El Criticón" by Baltasar Gracián from a translation perspective and addresses other topics related to literature of the time. [Extracted from the article]

The article aims at investigating the contribution of Luis de Góngora and Francisco de Quevedo to the satirical literary tradition against nuns. Starting from the collation of a minimum corpus of poems that both authors dedicated to mock the nuns --alluding to their reprehensible behaviors--, we intend to demonstrate the different approach, tone and purpose that characterize their respective approaches to the subject. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The American viceroys tried to imitate the courtly customs of the metropolis. This transplanted nobility preserved their class habits, such as patronage, which became a powerful weapon to affirm their image, publicize their achievements and establish agreements with the Creole sectors. In this work I will focus on speeches to reaffirm the viceregal power in works by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz dedicated to the Counts of Galve. On the one hand, the epinicio, consecrated to the viceroy, written in the tradition of the song to the hero and the commemoration of warlike events; on the other, the pieces for the viceroy's wife, built according to the guidelines of homage poetry. I propose that the Mexican nun rewrote these speeches, while problematizing the representations of authority, authorship, and gender. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
