Brief description of scientific objectivesIn the next five years and during 2007-2012, the RT plans: studying the “crisis of democracy” (H. Kelsen) and the rise of social and cultural movements responding to its different dimensions. The Catholic Church was involved in this crisis and the subsequent mobilizations.
We have chosen those countries where the crisis and Catholic intervention were more significant:
-in Portugal, the resumption of relations with the Vatican, the Republic´s crisis and the new corporate state (Estado Novo corporativo);
-in Mexico, the triumph of Carranza´s revolution with the disappearance of the National Action Party (Partido de Acción Nacional), identified with Catholics, the new constitution, the first confrontation with Catholics and their armed response since 1926 against anti-religious laws until the agreements of June 1929.
-in Spain: the Monarchy´s crisis, Primo de Rivera´s dictatorship, transition and the coming of the Second Republic and the civil war; the attitude of Catholics towards society, education, the press, the Republican religious policyand the uprising against the Republic.
Our purpose is to analyze in the international context and in two stages
a. during the first stage(2007-2009): Spanish relations with the Vatican and those of Catholics with political institutions from a comparative historical perspective and
b. during the second stage(2010-2011): the creation of working groups and publication of monographs.
