Abstract

After the laws against the spanish brotherhoods promulgated in the reign of Charles III, the future of these associations of laymen was very uncertain. It seemed the end of the confraternities. But it wasn’t so. The brotherhoods found the loopholes for getting their survival. They got it through several ways like the joining to others recognized confraternities (such as in honour of the Blessed Sacrament), the resort to the royal protection, the appeal to the popular piety or the promotion of some good works.
