Abstract
Uno de los periodos más convulsos vividos por las entidades eclesiásticas españolas tuvo lugar en el periodo comprendido desde finales del siglo XVIII a principios del XIX. En él se iniciaron determinados procesos cuyo fin fue despojar a la Iglesia de sus privilegios y patrimonio. Los más destacados fueron: la desamortización de los bienes de entidades eclesiásticas, las solicitudes constantes de Subsidios extraordinarios para la amortización de vales reales, la creación de nuevos impuestos a la Iglesia como el Noveno Decimal, y los anticipos a cuenta de Concordias del Noveno y Excusado de muy alta cuantía.
El objetivo de nuestra investigación se centra en determinar las causas del sobreendeudamiento del Cabildo Catedral de Sevilla a principios del siglo XIX y que obligó a la venta de parte de sus propiedades. Para ello, se va a estudiar el aumento de la presión fiscal sobre la Iglesia española desde finales del siglo XVIII hasta principios del siglo XIX, con la supresión de los diezmos en 1837. A continuación, se analizará la documentación contable disponible sobre la gestión del Subsidio, Excusado y Noveno en el Cabildo Catedral de Sevilla, lo cual permitirá conocer los métodos contables utilizados en este proceso. Con toda esta información económica, se podrá cuantificar el incremento de dichas gracias en el periodo estudiado, que supusieron una merma de la liquidez de la Diócesis Hispalense.
One of the most convulsive periods experienced by Spanish ecclesiastical entities took place in the period from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century. During this period, certain processes were initiated with the aim of stripping the Church of its privilegesy patrimony. The most outstanding processes were: the disentailment of the goods of ecclesiastical entities, the constant requests for extraordinary subsidies for the amortisation of royal vouchers, the creation of new taxes on the Church such as the Ninth Decimal,y the advances on account of the Concordias del Noveno y Excusado of very high amounts. The aim of our research is to determine the causes of the excessive indebtedness of the Cathedral Chapter of Seville in the early 19th century, which forced it to sell part of its properties. To this end, we will study the increase in tax pressure on the Spanish Church from the late 18th century to the early 19th century, with the abolition of tithes in 1837. Next, we will analyse the available accounting documentation on the management of the Subsidio, Excusado and Noveno taxes by the Cathedral Chapter of Seville, which will allow us to understand the accounting methods used in this process. With all this economic information, we will be able to quantify the increase in these taxes during the period studied, which led to a decline in the liquidity of the Diocese of Seville.
