The dispute over freedom of worship between Chilean archbishop Rafael Valdivieso and Protestant priest David Trumbull
Abstract
This paper analyzes how certain intellectual frameworks, forged in 19th-century Chile amidst the crisis of secularization, shaped the contested notion of freedom of conscience. To this end, it examines reflections on freedom of worship, mixed marriages between Catholics and dissidents, and Church-State relations as articulated by both the American priest David Trumbull and Archbishop Rafael Valentín Valdivieso, the leading Catholic authority in Chile between 1845 and 1875.
