Beals, Carleton | July 3, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the political conditions of Spain. These by no means exceptional occurrences indicate the relation between church and state, between the church and the Dictatorship. The 100,000 odd priests, nuns, and monks in Spain enjoy special privileges and fueros. Save for graver offenses, they are still immune from civil punishment. High officials of the church occupy important government posts and are found in the hand-picked "national" Assembly of Prima de Rivera. In the political struggles of the nineteenth century the army and church were ever at logger heads; but today, with the menace of more radical tendencies, the two groups now meet for mutual support in the halls of government
