Description
Summary:The Second Republic recognized freedom of religion and implemented the Church-State separation as a basis for a wide secularist program. The Spanish Church hierarchy’s reactions and the Catholic mobilization against secularist measures approved by the provisional republican government showed that a great number of the Spanish Catholic people didn’t accept complete religious freedom and the secular State in the Thirties. So did ideas defended by the Catholic deputies during the Constitutional debates at the Parliament. This article analyzes how the Spanish Catholic people understood freedom of religion in the Thirties, a time when the Holy See kept on condemning it. Taking into account the diversity of the Spanish Catholic people, it is worth examining differences between reactionary sectors and more tolerant ones around religious freedom.
