Abstract
Este trabajo estudia el funcionamiento del catolicismo en Gibraltar y Menorca una
vez que pasaron al dominio de Inglaterra. La investigación presenta como innovación el análisis
conjunto de ambos territorios en los que los hispanos tuvieron que convivir con la religión
anglicana y con unas autoridades británicas interesadas en impedir la jurisdicción de la jerarquía
eclesiástica. El texto se ha estructurado en varios apartados en los que se examina la situación en
que quedaron los lugares sagrados (iglesias, conventos y ermitas) tras la ocupación anglosajona, se
revisa la práctica de la fe católica en el contexto de ambigüedad del denominado «libre ejercicio de
la religión» acordado en Utrecht, se detectan los obstáculos impuestos por el poder civil y militar a
las potestades jurisdiccionales de los obispos de Mallorca y Cádiz, y se atiende al posicionamiento
que tuvo la Santa Sede respecto a los procedimientos utilizados por los gobernantes ingleses
This work studies the functioning of Catholicism in Gibraltar and Menorca once they came under the rule of England. The research presents as an innovation the joint analysis of both territories in which Hispanics had to coexist with the Anglican religion and with British authorities interested in obstructing the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical hierarchy. The text has been structured in several sections in which the situation in which the sacred places (churches, convents and hermitages) remained after the Anglo-Saxon occupation is examined, the practice of the Catholic faith is reviewed in the context of ambiguity of the so-called «free exercise of religion» agreed in Utrecht, the obstacles imposed by the civil and military power to the jurisdictional powers of the bishops of Mallorca and Cádiz are detected, and the position that the Holy See had regarding the procedures used by the English rulers.
