Theneocatólicos ("neo–Catholics", shorted toneos) was acounter-revolutionary political tradition, faction or movement in late 19th-century Spain, emerged during thereign of Isabella II, akin to "Isabelline traditionalism" and "authoritarian conservatism", fusinganti-liberalism with the defence of the queen's dynastic legitimacy.[1][2]
Part of the 19th century Spanish counter-revolutionary though,[3] and described as the "extreme right of theModerate Party that had inDonoso Cortés their father and inspirator", the political struggle of theneos, already coalesced by 1860, sided them withCarlism against the liberal advances andrepublicanism.[4]
After the1868 Glorious Revolution (and overthrow of Isabella II) they tended to join the ranks of Carlism.[5] Later in the 19th century, during theRestoration, politicians with a neo-Catholic background would enjoy, unlike old Carlists, some presence in theConservative cabinets.[6] By 1888 many of them helped to form theIntegrist Party.[7]
Neos often attackedKrausists, deriding them as "Pantheists" and "anti-Catholics".[8]
Some neo-Catholic representatives includeCándido Nocedal [es],Antonio Aparisi y Guijarro,Gabino Tejado [es],Eduardo González Pedroso [es] andOrtí y Lara [es].[9][8]
