Description:
Valentín Ortigosa, born in 1784 in Arriate (Málaga), emigrated to Mexico in 1803, where he was ordained a priest. He returned to Spain in 1810. His biography will reflect the events that took place in those years of the 19th century in which he lived, especially the problems that arose in the relations between Rome and Madrid as the representative system was being established. Although he would never occupy a relevant public position, Ortigosa moved in the circle of Agustín Argüelles, or José María de Calatrava; he enjoyed the favor of the queen governor María Cristina and his political opinions, especially in relation to the independence of the American countries, found echo in the press. Presented by the Regent to be bishop of Malaga in 1836, being suspended in fact the relations between the crown of Spain and Rome, his designation was not confirmed, but he was named capitular vicar and this allowed him to rule the Diocese without having been consecrated bishop; he became one of the "intrusive bishops". Due to denunciations of the Chapter of Malaga, a case was opened against him before the Tribunal of the Archbishopric of Seville. Later the appeal of force that Ortigosa raised before the Audience of Seville, and its execution by the Supreme Court ended up giving rise to the rupture of the relationship with the Holy See with the closing of the Nunciature of Madrid in January of 1841. This case and its repercussions are studied in detail in this book, both from the juridical, civil and canonical point of view, as well as from the political point of view. The documentation collected from newspaper archives and from numerous archives, both Spanish and Roman, has made it possible to analyze the consequences of the question of the so-called "intruders" starting from the case of Valentín Ortigosa, a character whose notoriety in these years contrasts with the oblivion of his name after disappearing from public life in 1843.

Description:
Valentín Ortigosa, nacido en 1784 en Arriate (Málaga), emigró a México en 1803, donde fue ordenado sacerdote. Regresó a España en 1810. Su biografía reflejará los acontecimientos que se suceden en esos años del s. XIX en los que vivió, especialmente los problemas que surgieron en las relaciones entre Roma y Madrid a medida que el sistema representativo se iba instaurando. Aunque no ocuparía nunca un cargo público relevante, Ortigosa se movió en el círculo de Agustín Argüelles, o José María de Calatrava; gozó del favor de la reina gobernadora María Cristina y sus opiniones políticas, en especial en lo relacionado con la independencia de los países americanos, encontraron eco en la prensa. Presentado por la Regente para ser obispo de Málaga en 1836, estando suspendidas de hecho las relaciones entre la corona de España y Roma, su designación no se confirmó, pero fue nombrado vicario capitular y esto le permitió regentar la Diócesis sin haber sido consagrado obispo; se convirtió en uno de los “obispos intrusos”. Por denuncias del Cabildo de Málaga se abrió una causa contra él ante el Tribunal del Arzobispado hispalense. Mas tarde el recurso de fuerza que Ortigosa planteó ante la Audiencia de Sevilla, y su ejecución por el Tribunal Supremo acabó dando lugar a la ruptura de la relación con la Santa Sede con el cierre de la Nunciatura de Madrid en enero de 1841. Esta causa y sus repercusiones son estudiadas con detenimiento en este libro, tanto desde el punto de vista jurídico, civil y canónico, como desde la óptica política. La documentación recogida de hemerotecas y de numerosos archivos, españoles y de Roma, ha permitido analizar las consecuencias de la cuestión de los llamados “intrusos” a partir del caso de Valentín Ortigosa, un personaje cuya notoriedad en estos años contrasta con el olvido de su nombre tras desaparecer de la vida pública en 1843.
