Doctoral Thesis Entre a espada flamejante e a cruz apocalíptica: redes de sociabilidades e política internacional nos Cruciferоs Clementinos (1968-2023)(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2025-12-15) Dantas, Pedro Luiz Câmara; Santos, Magno Francisco de Jesus; Moura, Carlos André Silva de; Orlando, Evelyn de Almeida; Pereira, Henrique Alonso de Albuquerque Rodrigues; Andrade Júnior, Lourival; Peixoto, Renato AmadoIn Spanish Ecclesiastical History, its most prominent schismatic group took shape in the second half of the twentieth century under the designation Crucíferos Clementinos (Clementine Crossbearers), weaving extensive networks of sociability and pursuing an international policy aimed at the creation of a Hispanic “Church-Nation.” This endeavor, of unequivocal ideological inspiration, simultaneously sought to revive principles of the Francoist past and to sacralize figures from Spain’s overseas history, thus participating in a symbolic process of national identity sacralization. As a whole, the Crossbearers movement emerged as a radical dissidence from Roman Catholicism, originating in 1975 in the Andalusian village of El Palmar de Troya as a Carmelite religious order. A few years later, in 1978, its founder, Clemente Domínguez Gómez – who was blind and selfproclaimed recipient of celestial revelations – claimed for himself the status of legitimate Catholic pope, adopting the name Gregory XVII. From this inaugural act, the Clementine group, under the name Palmarian Church, began disseminating its own documentary corpus intended to regulate its doctrine and liturgy, thereby consolidating an absolute rupture with the Catholic tradition of Rome. Through the establishment of sociability networks perpetuated in its narratives, one observes the construction of a sacred space grounded in traditionalist Catholic premises and articulated through apocalyptic and catastrophic language, yet marked by deep inflections and innovations that culminated in the formulation of a hybrid religious system. Among the elements that distinguished this construction, the institution of a condensed rite for the celebration of Mass and the canonization of historically controversial figures composed a complex project of sacred spatialization. In light of these factors, the consolidation of an alternative form of Catholicism became evident as the Order of the Crossbearers of the Last Times, emerged as a fully autonomous religion, entirely detached from the Catholic Church.Master Thesis "Mostrai-nos vossa santa face e seremos salvos": cultura política e construção dos espaços na Igreja Palmariana (1978-2005)(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2020-06-10) Dantas, Pedro Luiz Câmara; Santos, Magno Francisco de Jesus; ; ; Peixoto, Renato Amado; ; Moura, Carlos André Silva de;The Christian Palmarian Church of the Carmelites of the Holy Face, also called the Palmarian Catholic and Apostolic Church, is a dissent church from Roman Catholicism that emerged in the Spanish village of El Palmar de Troya as a religious order in 1975. Three years later, in 1978, its founder, Clemente Domínguez y Gómez, who was blind and claimed to have heavenly visions, proclaimed himself as the legitimate Catholic Pope with the name of Gregory XVII. From this event, the Palmarian Church began to propagate a series of self-produced documents, whereby it standardized all its doctrinal and liturgical principles, utterly breaking up with its Roman Catholic roots and becoming a new religion. Through the political culture present in the religious narratives of this Church, it has been analyzed how it built a sacred space with clear links to the Traditionalist Catholic thinking, but with deep divergences and additions regarding the latter, resulting in the new religion system elaboration. In this one, some eccentric factors, such as the occurrence of extraterrestrial life, the establishment of a new mass rite and the canonization of controversial personalities from Spanish history, started a complex religious spatialization project. Based on these and other elements, the establishment of the Palmarian Church as a religion completely separate from the Catholic Church became evident.
