• R. Stein, De affaire Van Borselen en de consolidatie van de Bourgondische macht in de Nederlanden (1425-1435) – The Borselen Affair and the Consolidation of Burgundian Power in the Netherlands
  Lees verder ▼
  Over a period of barely three years, Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, manifested himself as the most important prince of the Low Countries. In the years 1427-1430, he seized the principalities of Hainault, Holland, Zeeland, Brabant and Limburg, which he added to his extensive possessions in Flanders, Artois and Burgundy. In this same period, Philip acquired significant rights to the succession to Luxembourg, which eventually took place in 1444. In this way, he laid the foundation of the later unification of the Low Countries. These political achievements should not conceal the fact that the legitimacy of the Burgundian succession to these principalities was dubious. In November 1432, Philip arrested the mighty Zeeland nobleman Frank van Borselen. The present contribution argues that this arrest allowed Philip to legitimize his position as duke or count in the recently acquired principalities and thereby represents an important step in the consolidation of Burgundian power in the Low Countries.
• S. De Wilde, F. Verleden, ‘Ambtenaren in dienst van de vijand’. De bestraffing van het activisme in de Belgische rijksadministratie (1918-1921) – ‘Civil Servants working for the Enemy’. The Repression of ‘Activism’ in the Belgian Civil Service (1918-1921)
  Lees verder ▼
  During the First World War, radical Flemish nationalists or ‘activists’ collaborated with Germany in order to obtain Flemish self-rule or even independence. In the aftermath of the war, the Belgian government prosecuted those who participated in the German Flamenpolitik. The repression of activism has led to many controversies, as the Flemish Movement considered it a harsh, anti-Flemish purge. Little is known about the repression of activists in the Belgian civil service. Yet, the scission of the Belgian civil service in a separate Flemish and Walloon branch was the most disputed measure of the German authorities and many civil servants were involved in one way or another. As it turned out, the administrative post-war purge was much larger than the criminal prosecution of activism. However, it would be a biased judgment to dismiss the administrative purge as an anti-Flemish operation as Walloon civil servants who had collaborated were also prosecuted. The repression of activism was, however, burdened by the deficiencies typical of transitional justice: inadequate legal or administrative procedures, political interference, and infringements of the principles of a fair trial.

Review

• A.-L. Van Bruaene, Vrome daden en gedachten. Een revisionistische kijk op het katholieke verleden van Nederland – Pious Deeds and Thoughts. A Revisionist View of the Netherlands’ Catholic Past
  Lees verder ▼
  This contribution comments upon the renewed interest in the Catholic past of the Netherlands. It discusses two recent books by Llewellyn Bogaers and Charles H. Parker on late medieval and early modern Catholicism, respectively. Both authors reject a teleological conception of history and propose studying the devotion of laymen, laywomen and the clergy from within. Both studies can be considered as part of a wider international – partly anthropologically inspired – trend to reassess the history of Catholicism. The author of this contribution applauds these developments but advocates a stronger integration of the study of religious practices on the one hand, and the study of religious experiences and ideas on the other hand.

Forum

• P. de Rooy, Onheilig moeten. Drie studies over aspecten van het katholicisme – Unholy Obligations
  Lees verder ▼
  In this contribution, three recent studies about Dutch Catholicism in the first half of the twentieth century are reviewed. The success of the ‘verzuiling’ [pillarization] of the Catholic population was striking: the cohesion of the Catholic pillar was great, compared with the other pillars; in the Netherlands, the Catholic pillarization was also greater than in other countries. This success can be explained to a large extent by the intensive use of sacralism. The literature under review makes that perfectly clear, although it does have a strong tendency to blur this image by giving too much attention to so-called ‘other Catholics’ who managed to extricate themselves one way or another from the clergy’s authority.
• P. Luykx, ‘Andere katholieken’: een nieuwe visie – ‘Other Catholics’: A New Vision
  Lees verder ▼
  The title of my response to De Rooy’s text sums up the crux of our discussion. Andere katholieken, a volume of essays published in the year 2000, offers ‘a new vision’ of the history of Dutch Catholicism in the twentieth century. Contrary to the prevailing idea of an unshakable unity and a closed front, recent studies demonstrate more and more clearly variation and differentiation in mentality and behaviour, above all under the influence of a progressive modernization of state and society. It is the so-called pillarization theory, in particular, which was put forward by a group of politicologists (notably A. Lijphart), that seems to influence the view of my opponent. According to that theory, passivity and docility of, among others, Catholic people is unjustly assumed. Last but not least, my response aims to correct some inaccuracies and clear up some misunderstandings in my opponent’s critique.
• P. de Rooy, Naschrift – Postscript
  Lees verder ▼
  The issue that is the subject of discussion here is in fact the main problem: the enormous obedience or the refusal and evasion of clerical precepts by Dutch Catholics. In this postscript the first position in this discussion is maintained. Of course, some interdependency between the laity and the clergy can be seen. But the power of ‘hell and holiness’ was irresistible in instilling obedience. Isolation within the nation was first forced upon the Catholics by a dominant Protestantism; later on it became the result of their own choice, guarded over with much vigour and energy. One final point: the Catholic pillar did not start to crumble in the Interwar period because of all those ‘other Catholics’, otherwise the revolutionary nature of its downfall in the sixties becomes quite unintelligible.
