El catolicismo español en la Guerra Civil

Abstract

This article examines some of publications of the last seven years. It focuses in particular on Cardinal Goma’s enormous collection of letters and writings. One can say nothing sensible about the relationship between Catholicism and the Civil War without reference to this work, which has been carefully edited and annotated. The Civil War period is considered within the context of the historical evolution of the Catholic Church in the preceding century. The hotly debated issue of Catholic martyrs during the War is placed within Spanish coordinates without neglecting to make international comparisons.
