Abstract
En los XXV capítulos del libro, desde el primero, que proporciona un punto de arranque de esta historia, como es la creación en 1933 del Secretariado de Institutos Religiosos Españoles (Sire), a partir del cual la vida religiosa en España comenzó a articularse, si bien de manera muy elemental, hasta el último, que informa de la realidad estadística de la vida religiosa de España, se ofrece una densa historia determinada por los vaivenes acaecidos en la vida religiosa, los cambios políticos y eclesiales de cada momento histórico. Un hito importante en la vida de la Iglesia y de la vida religiosa fue y sigue siéndolo el concilio Vaticano II. A raíz del concilio los religiosos y religiosas comprendieron que debían despojarse de las apariencias vanas del pasado y acomodar su vida y quehacer a las posibilidades reales de los nuevos tiempos. En adelante la vida consagrada será una aventura de minorías, con nuevas presencias y actitudes ante la dinámica sociedad española.
Su autor, Rafael Lazcano, experimentado especialista en trabajos de investigación histórica, proporciona rigor y aporte informativo a raudales, extraído de fuentes documentales inéditas. De ahí que las páginas de este libro sean excepcionalmente valiosas, al menos por dos motivos; porque han sido elaboradas sobre una minuciosa exploración archivística y porque se da cuenta de los grandes avatares de la vida religiosa en España durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Todo ello se realiza sin prejuicios ideológicos y metodológicos, lo que garantiza el desarrollo de la investigación histórica.
In the xxv chapters of the book, from the first, which provides a starting point for this history, such as the creation in 1933 of the Secretariat of Spanish Religious Institutes (Sire), from which religious life in Spain began to articulate, although in a very elementary way, until the last one, which reports on the statistical reality of religious life in Spain, a dense history is offered determined by the ups and downs that have occurred in religious life, the political and ecclesial changes of each historical moment. An important milestone in the life of the Church and religious life was and continues to be the Second Vatican Council. As a result of the council, the religious men and women understood that they had to get rid of the vain appearances of the past and accommodate their lives and activities to the real possibilities of the new times. From now on consecrated life will be an adventure of minorities, with new presences and attitudes towards the dynamic Spanish society. Its author, Rafael Lazcano, experienced specialist in historical research works, provides rigor and informative contribution in abundance, extracted from unpublished documentary sources. Hence the pages of this book are exceptionally valuable, for at least two reasons; because they have been elaborated on a meticulous archival exploration and because it takes into account the great ups and downs of religious life in Spain during the second half of the 20th century. All this is done without ideological and methodological prejudices, which guarantees the development of historical research.
