Soul of the Nation - Catholicism and Nationalization in Modern Spain

Religion and politics have historically clashed in modern Spain, particularly following the crisis of 1808 when the Catholica Monarchy put the role of the Church at the heart of political cultural Debates. The Soul of the Nation seeks to unravel this complex and oppositional history between Catholic values and modern political regimes.
