The canonization of 1622, in wich Blessed Isidore the Farmer, Ignatius Loyola, Francis Xavier, Teresa of Avila and Philip Neri were inscribed in the Canon of Saints, was memorable for several reasons. It’s period of gestation was not easy. Pope Paul v had decided to canonize Isidore the Farmer, a decisión that was accepted by his successor, Gregory xv. The strong pressure to which the Pope was subjected both by the Catholic Monarchs and by the Orders to which the new saints belonged, especially the Jesuits, determined their joint canonization in the short term, first adding Blessed Teresa, then Ignatius and Xavier, and, finally, in order to avoid an exclusively Spanish ceremony, at the request of the Congregation itself, Philip Neri. Without denying the political side of the canonization, this paper offers several convergent lines of interpretation in order to demonstrate that the canonization in 1622 was not only the canonization of the protagonists of the Catholic Reformation but, symbolically, of the Church’s own Reformation itself.

The article examines the lives of nuns during the Counter-Reformation of the 16th and 17th centuries. It looks at their daily lives, how they subsisted, what motivated them to enter the convent, the role of confessors in their lives, and how they experienced the Catholic Reformation. The article explains that the reforms issued by the Council of Trent mandated a cloistered life for nuns, with increased separation from family and lay society. It notes that women entered the convent for various reasons, including a genuine desire to serve God, economic necessity, and self-protection.

The article studies the implementation of the Catholic Reformation in Portugal under Spanish kings Felipe II, Felipe III, and Felipe IV between 1580 and 1640, when the country's monarchy was subsumed under the Spanish crown. It examines the roles of, and relationships between, different interests and powers in this process, including the monarchy, the papacy, bishoprics, and local authorities. The article maintains that, despite difficulties encountered in introducing reforms mandated by the Council of Trent, the reform of the Portuguese monarchy was completed successfully by the mid-17th century.

The article examines views on art held by the Moriscos on the eve of their expulsion from Spain, based on historical records of the Spanish Inquisition. In particular, it studies how the Moriscos understood the worship of images, how they responded to the strictures of the Catholic Church, and how they attempted to preserve their identity through iconoclasm.

The article presents an analysis written by Jesuits on the topic of death. The author discusses the concept of death according to the Compañía de Jesús, including the idea that death is a reward and rest from that which humans have previously experienced and suffered in their lives. The article also focuses on the idea of learning how to properly die which, in effect, taught people how to live properly and adequately. The article concludes with an analysis of death imagery in creating a model death.
