“…Secondly, pilgrimages reinforced a Catholic reading of Latin America which was fostered on both sides of the Atlantic and that sought to find solutions to the challenges faced by the churches in the different Latin American nations (Ayala Mora 2013;Cárdenas Ayala 2018;Ramón Solans 2020b). This sort of collegiality among the Latin American clergy can be observed in the promotion of the Pontifical Latin American College in Rome during the pilgrimages, as well as the role this centre played in the preparation of audiences with the pope and the hosting of religious ceremonies organised by the pilgrimage.…”

The objective of this article is to analyse Mexican national pilgrimages to Rome that took place during the pontificate of Leo XIII (1878–1903). These pilgrimages occurred in the context of a global Catholic mobilisation in support of the papacy, during the so-called Roman Question. This paper’s analysis of these pilgrimages draws from historiography about national pilgrimages, as well as studies on Catholic mobilisation in support of the pope in the second half of the nineteenth century. It is fundamentally based on primary sources of an official nature, such as reports and other printed documents produced on the occasion of the pilgrimage. The study’s primary conclusion is that national pilgrimages to Rome had a polysemic character since they brought together various religious and national identities. The pilgrimages contributed simultaneously to reinforcing the link between Catholicism and Mexican national identity and the global dimension of Catholicism and allegiance to the Holy See.

“…Although a council in Rome was not held until 1899, Valdivieso's correspondence shows the formation of a consciousness of collegiality and belonging to the same Latin American catholic space. This consciousness would be reinforced with the Plenary Council of Latin America (Ramón Solans 2020b, 2020c.…”

Preface to "Pilgrimage and Religious Mobilization in Europe""Europe is born on a pilgrimage."This phrase, often ascribed to the German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, might be apocryphal but it captures the important role of pilgrimage in Europe.In a secularizing continent, pilgrimage is a religious ritual that is not only still flourishing but on the rise.Religions typically have a public dimension of social gathering, arguing, and worship. The ritual of pilgrimage constitutes, in many religions, an important expression of this public dimension.Christianity, in particular Catholicism, is still the first religion that comes to mind when thinking about pilgrimage in Europe, but it is by far not the only community that engages in this praxis.Pilgrimage has dimensions beyond the religious experience. Pilgrimages can spill over into various ways of religious mobilization with social, political, and also economic impacts. When religious experiences meet with cultural landscapes and economic interests, questions of political power arise. Varieties of pilgrimages, from spiritual tourism to religious protest, shape the public dimension of pilgrimages and have an impact on various levels of European societies.Pilgrim studies is an emerging interdisciplinary field that takes these various sociological, cultural, geographical, economic, and political implications into account. The present book seeks to continue and elaborate on the existing research agendas and to establish a forum for new approaches. Historical traditions, current trends, comparative approaches, conceptual developments, and methodological questions are of interest. Whose frames guide the pilgrims? Who profits from the pilgrims'decisions? What kind of identity emerges when pilgrims depart and return? The first chapter by Anna Trono and Luigi Oliva delves into the rich tradition of Italian pilgrimages and discovers innovations in a historical landscape. Jan Mohr and Julia Stenzel tell the story of items from Oberammergau's passion play. Adrian Schiffbeck analyzes the relationship between pilgrimage and political protest during the protests in the Romanian city Timis , oara in 1989. Petr Kratochvil differentiates two types of pilgrimage in the Catholic tradition and shows how they present themselves on the internet. One of the most popular pilgrimages in Europe is the Camino, the Way of St. James. Detlef Lienau, Stefan Huber, and Michael Ackert analyze data on German-speaking pilgrims'religiosity and spirituality. Patrick Heiser discusses how the religiosity of pilgrims is expressed on the way to Santiago. Yvonne Knospe and Karsten Koenig present a study about young offenders on learning walks. Papal Rome and the papal pilgrimages are mass events of pilgrimage with a high impact on several levels. Francisco Javier Ram ...
