Abstract

Presentation of Tomás Bryan y Livermore’s life and work. He was born in Málaga in 1824 and appointed bishop of Cartagena in 1884 until his death in Albacete in 1902. This is a documented biographical study of one of the most interesting Spanish prelates in the last third of the XIXth century. He was educated in England, France, Italy and Spain, became an engineer and took several doctorates. He was ordained a priest at 33 and carried out a solid and lasting work in his diocese. As a well kown advertising agent of the fundamentalist ideology, he launched a savage attack on Freemasonry, protestantism and even liberalism. He suffered social isolation as a consequence of denouncing the Restauration and tyranny as well as the social insensitivity and administrative corruption of the time. He defended a regeneration based on the return to catholic traditions.
