Abstract

 This paper aims to analyze the propagation of the main Catholic forms of devotion that occurred in the 18th century, which were influenced by the Carmelite Order under the precepts of the missionary ideal that moved the Tridentine Church and the instructions of Saint Teresa of Ávila. The success and dissemination of the chief Carmelite devotions are based on their greatest symbol of protection: the scapular. The precepts related to the Carmelite Orders gained prominence in every place where the Order settled, specially Spain, Portugal and the Americas. The impacts of the assimilation of the Carmelite teachings, in particular the ones about the Purgatory, will also be analyzed.

 

Keywords: Third Order of Carmel; scapular; purgatory.
