In the Dutch Republic, the Reformed Church enjoyed the exclusive religious use of church buildings. Formerly, these churches had belonged to Catholics, who were forced to establish their own (semi-clandestine) places of worship known as schuilkerken or huiskerken. As such, Reformed Protestant and Catholics each had their own religious infrastructure and competing sacred spaces. Employing a comparative perspective and a conceptual distinction between churches as legal, sacred and social spaces, this article studies the myriad of relationships between Catholics, their former (parish) churches, and their schuilkerken. It argues that clandestine Catholic churches were never able to replace parish churches completely since the latter continued to be used by Dutch Catholics to exercise legal rights, express and forge social hierarchies, and at times even to practise their faith. While the existence of competing sacred spaces could cause confessional strife and signifies a degree of segregation, at the same time the enduring ties between Catholics and their former churches indicate a level of confessional integration in seventeenth-century Dutch society.

在荷兰共和国,改革宗教堂享有教堂建筑的独家宗教用途。以前,这些教会曾经属于天主教,谁被迫建立崇拜被称为自己的(半地下)的地方schuilkerkenhuiskerken。因此,改革宗新教徒和天主教徒各自拥有自己的宗教基础设施和相互竞争的神圣空间。采用比较的视角和教堂法律,神圣和社会空间之间的概念上的区别,本文研究的天主教徒之间的关系的无数,他们的前(教区)的教堂,和他们schuilkerken。它辩称,秘密的天主教教会永远无法完全取代教区教堂,因为后者继续被荷兰天主教徒用来行使法律权利,表达和建立社会等级制度,甚至有时行使其信仰。虽然存在竞争的神圣空间可能会导致cause悔冲突并表示一定程度的隔离,但与此同时,天主教徒与其前教会之间的持久联系表明了17世纪荷兰社会的悔融合水平。
