Collective Letter Of The Spanish Bishops, 1937
The Collective Letter of the Spanish Bishops, 1937, was a pastoral letter written by Spanish bishops that justified Francisco Franco, Franco's uprising which precipitated the Spanish Civil War. Franco presented himself to world opinion as the defender of the Church. He was displeased at criticism levelled against him by some European Catholic Church, Catholics who condemned the murders of priests in the Republican zone, along with those of workers and peasants in the nationalist zone. Nearly all Spanish bishops had spoken publicly in favour of the insurrection, but this was insufficient for Franco. On 10 May 1937, he asked Isidro Goma y Tomas to promulgate "a text, addressed to bishops the world over with a request that it be published by the Catholic press everywhere, which would set out truth clearly and in proper perspective" (letter, Goma to Eugenio Pacelli, 12 May 1937). Goma immediately set to work on a statement aimed at international Catholic opinion. The letter carried the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Catholic Church In Spain
The Spanish Catholic Church, or Catholic Church in Spain, is part of the Catholic Church under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Holy See, Rome, and the Spanish Episcopal Conference. The Spanish Constitution of 1978 establishes the non-denominationality of the State, providing that the public authorities take into account the religious beliefs of society, maintaining cooperative relations with the Catholic Church and other confessions. Thus, the relations between the Spanish State and the Holy See are regulated by the 1976 agreement and the three 1979 agreements, which modified and replaced the previous 1953 concordat. History According to , Christianity could have been present in Spain from a very early period.

White Terror (Spain)
The White Terror (), also called the Francoist Repression (), was the political repression and mass violence against dissidents that were committed by the Nationalist faction during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), as well as during the first nine years of the regime of General Francisco Franco. From 1936–1945, Francoist Spain officially designated supporters of the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1939), liberals, socialists of different stripes, Protestants, intellectuals, homosexuals, Freemasons, Jews, immigrants as well as Basque, Catalan, Andalusian, and Galician nationalists as enemies. The Francoist Repression was motivated by the right-wing notion of social cleansing (), which meant that the Nationalists immediately started executing people viewed as enemies of the state upon capturing territory. As a response to the similar mass killings of their clergy, religious, and laity during the Republican Red Terror, the Spanish Catholic Church legitimized the kill ...
