Description

The letter from Bishop Josep Meseguer i Costa to the rector of the Lleida Seminary, dated 1893, is a relevant document for understanding the role of the Church in intellectual and spiritual training in Catalonia at the end of the 19th century. Meseguer, bishop of Lleida between 1889 and 1905, promoted educational and pastoral reforms that connected with European currents of social Catholicism and pedagogical renewal. This letter reflects the will to modernize clerical training and to strengthen the role of the seminary as a center of thought and transmission of values.
