DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe birth of the Second Spanish Republic in April 1931 ushered in a period of possible secularisation to Spain. Liberals welcomed legal changes, while conservatives feared the special 'privileges' they enjoyed would end. The Catholic Church remained a central focus of left-wing antagonism and right-wing allegiances, and conflicts surrounding the future of religion grew severe. While members of the Spanish Catholic hierarchy had clearly supported the right and disdained the left, the actions and opinions of the Vatican and its hierarchy stationed in Spain were much more nuanced. Similarly, when conservative military action plunged Spain into a Civil War in July 1936, the majority of the Spanish Catholic hierarchy openly supported their victory, but the highest levels of the Vatican remained silent. This book explores the unique position and specialised reactions of the Vatican concerning the Second Republic and Civil War. For the Holy See, the conflict in Spain was not an isolated event at the edge of the continent, but part of a larger narrative of ideological and political tension swirling across Europe. Any public statement by the Vatican concerning the Spanish Republic or Civil War could be misconstrued as support for one side or another, and threaten the Church. True, the Vatican often remained silent -- and some have suggested this supports the conclusion that the Church worked for Franco -- but by accessing previously unavailable sources directly from the Vatican, this book can help to clarify the difficult options that awaited the Holy See during this disastrous period. Similarly, this book works to highlight the fact that the Catholic Church was not some monolithic entity, but men like Pope Pius XI and Secretary of State Pacelli had their own understandings of spirituality and politics.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Spanish Civil War has gone down in history for the horrific violence that it generated. The climate of euphoria and hope that greeted the overthrow of the Spanish monarchy was utterly transformed just five years later by a cruel and destructive civil war. Here Julián Casanova, one of Spain's leading historians, offers a magisterial new account of this critical period in Spanish history. He exposes the ways in which the Republic brought into the open simmering tensions between Catholics and hardline anticlericalists, bosses and workers, Church and State, order and revolution. In 1936 these conflicts tipped over into the sacas, paseos and mass killings which are still passionately debated today. The book also explores the decisive role of the international instability of the 1930s in the duration and outcome of the conflict. Franco's victory was in the end a victory for Hitler and Mussolini and for dictatorship over democracy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The religious question" and the role of the Catholic Church in Spanish society shaped the contentious relationship between the Church and state. This relationship entered a new chapter with the coming of the Second Republic and the passage of the 1931 constitution. The anticlerical articles in the constitution and the militant rhetoric of many in the Church and on the left eventually derailed attempts to arrive at a modus vivendi. Distinct concepts of national identity and citizenship were at the heart of the conflict. Despite the liberal democratic rhetoric, the government sought to deny the Church the right to teach through new anticlerical laws. It believed that only by wresting control of education from the Church could the Republic build the society it envisioned. In contrast, many Catholics viewed such legislation as an abrogation of the rights of parents, the historical right of the Church to educate and an assault on what it meant to be a Spaniard. This conflict took on a particular shape in the area of women's education because schools for girls touched upon issues of the family, appropriate curriculum, pedagogy and the meaning of citizenship. Among the laws aimed at the Church was the 1933 Ley de Confesiones y Congregaciones (Law of Confessions and Congregations) outlawing schools run by religious orders. Most of the schools, however, remained open, with many of the religious teaching as lay men and women. Using a case study approach, I examine the history of four schools of the Sisters of the Company of Mary in San Fernando, Tarragona, Tudela, and Valladolid from 1931 to 1936. I show how religious orders used front organizations made up of parents, relatives and influential Catholics to circumvent the law. I also analyze the educational pedagogy employed in the schools of the Order so as to shape future generations of women from the perspective of a highly gendered Catholic understanding of citizenship.
