ABSTRACT: The Christian Palmarian Church of the Carmelites of the Holy Face, also called the Palmarian Catholic and Apostolic Church, is a dissent church from Roman Catholicism that emerged in the Spanish village of El Palmar de Troya as a religious order in 1975. Three years later, in 1978, its founder, Clemente Domínguez y Gómez, who was blind and claimed to have heavenly visions, proclaimed himself as the legitimate Catholic Pope with the name of Gregory XVII. From this event, the Palmarian Church began to propagate a series of documents produced by it, whereby it showed all its doctrinal and liturgical principles, breaking completely with its Roman Catholic roots and becoming a new religion. Through the political culture present in its religious narratives, it will be seen how this Church has built a sacred space with clear roots in traditionalist Catholic thought, but with profound divergences and doctrinal additions to the latter one.
