The Age of Revolution has traditionally been understood as an era
of secularization, giving the transition from monarchy to
independent republics through democratic movements a genealogy that
assumes hostility to Catholicism. By centering the story on Spanish
and Latin American actors, Pamela Voekel argues that at the heart
of this nineteenth-century transformation in Spanish America was a
transatlantic Catholic civil war. Voekel demonstrates Reform
Catholicism's significance to the thought and action of the rebel
literati who led decolonization efforts in Mexico and Central
America, showing how each side of this religious divide operated
from within a self-conscious intercontinental network of
like-minded Catholics. For its central protagonists, the era's
crisis of sovereignty provided a political stage for a religious
struggle. Drawing on ecclesiastical archives, pamphlets, sermons,
and tracts, For God and Liberty reveals how the violent struggles
of decolonization and the period before and after Independence are
more legible in light of the fault lines within the Church.
