    La Revista Católica de Cuestiones Sociales, 1895-1916: La Recepción de la Rerum Novarum
    (Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2022) Ramos-Gorostiza, J.L. (José Luis); Martínez-Vara, T. (Tomás)
    The birth of the Revista Católica de Cuestiones Sociales (1895-1930) coincided with the true “take-off” of Spanish Social Catholicism, which had a notable relevance at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. It was one of the most important and long-lasting journals of those that spread the Social Doctrine of the Church in Spain, and a large part of the Catholic intelligentsia of the time would participate in it. The objective of this work is to analyze how the great social encyclical of Leo XIII, the Rerum Novarum (1891), were received in the journal during its early years (1895-1916), with some occasional allusion to the Graves de Communi (1901). Although with nuances derived from the coexistence of “fundamentalist” visions with other more “advanced” ones, in this periodical publication a fairly traditional and conservative reading of both texts was generally made.
