Molinosismo e desculpabilização

Abstract

The author proposes an historical reinterpretation of the Molinos phenomenon, based on a review of the literature on the subject since Massimo Petrocchii. Shifting from the Italian to the Portuguese context, it then goes on to characterize  the kind  of  11quietism" persecuted by  the  Inquisition  in  this  country, from the late 17th to the second decade of the 18th century.
