Todo efecto inteligente acusa una causa inteligente 1881--1886 Seville, Spain. Language: Spanish. Editor: Julio Fernández Mateos (1852-1920), Joaquín García Rodríguez, Crispín Gutierrez Fernandez.

Mateos had earlier edited El Espiritismo in Seville which was suppressed by the authorities in 1878. This was a typical Spanish Kardecist spiritist journal. On its appearance the Bishop of Seville excommunicated not only the journal and those who put it out but also all those who subscribed to it. The journal was noted in the Banner of Light (August 19, 1882) for its war for secular education in Spain. Noted in Oscar M. García Rodríguez, “Hemerografia Espiritista Espanola, 1857-1936,” https://grupoespiritaisladelapalma.wordpress.com.

Claude-Generated Themes:	El Faro (Seville, 1882) was a Spanish Kardecist spiritist review with a combative anti-clerical edge. Alongside mediumistic reportage it championed spiritist free-schooling against the Catholic Church, argued that reason and Espiritismo - not dogma - kept the child from atheism, and debated Catholic apologists over God as the uncreated First Cause. Its doctrine rested on the Kardecist affirmation of survival, the soul, and reincarnation as moral progress. The paper typifies the secular-reformist Andalusian spiritism of the 1880s. Its phenomena overlap with spiritualism, but its idiom and polemics are thoroughly Latin and Kardecist. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description.
