A peculiar and significant catholic view of Concepción Arenal: notes on two studies by Fr. Julio Alarcón Meléndez, S.J

Concepción Arenal is one of the most important figures of the social Spanish Catholicism of the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20.th century. There are not many studies about her sincere Catholicism. The Jesuit Julio Alarcón, contemporary with her, tried to fill up this gap with two books about her. But he writes them from his fundamentalist ideology. Therefore, we present the personality and the mentality of this author to make it possible to analyze and to value his studies about her.
