The article presents a reflection on the interaction between religion and international relations in the beginning of the 18th century in Europe. The fact that religious issues were entangled with other social and political matters to the point that it was difficult to separate them at this period is examined. Topics include the role of papacy during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714), the image of King of Spain Philip V and the main religious arguments used during the war, and the religious solidarity that benefited Philip V or king of Spain Charles III during their reign.
