Catholic voices and mobilizing propaganda facing the Religious Confessions and Congregations Law
Abstract
The Religious Confessions and Congregations Law, adopted on May 17, 1933 by the Parliament of the Second Spanish Republic, forbade Church to continue practicing teaching. The measure aroused the indignation of many conservative actors: politicians, bishops and leaders of Catholic organizations. Their objective was the repeal of the law and, for that, they all devoted great efforts to promote the reaction of Catholics. This paper examines some of the propaganda messages spread during those months to reveal their mobilizing strategies.Downloads
