Abstract

Church and State in Spain
Levy, I. M. | October 28, 1931 issue

add to cart   close window

In the discussion of the new Spanish constitution, the position of church and state plays a supremely important part. Article 3, which declares the absence of a state religion, and Article 25, which guarantees liberty of conscience, met with little opposition. It is a serious problem for Spain, for the tradition of centuries is opposed to the spirit of the twentieth century; and if the matter is to end in anything short of civil war, compromises must be freely made by all concerned. The possibility of compromise at the present moment seems remote, with emotion rather than reason influencing the nation.
