Research topics.
His research has centred on the contemporary religious history of Spain and America, with projects on the secular clergy, the Church in the 19th and 20th centuries and the Spanish Civil War, such as the publication of the Archivo Gomá. In terms of the religious history of Hispanic America he has dealt in the main with the transition between the 19th and 20th centuries. At the IEGPS he is the coordinator of a line of research into pilgrimage, which has been the driving force behind several international colloquia and he belongs to the CINPAC network of researchers.
