Las claves de Tedeschini. La política vaticana en España (1921-1936)

Abstract

The management of Federico Tedeschini as Nuncio in Madrid for fifteen years enables us to enter in the vision of the Papal curia about the development of events in Spain during the interwar period and the implementation of various ecclesiastical strategies adopted in pursuit of their interests. The analysis of the documentation generated by the Nunciature and by the Vatican Secretary of State brings to light how the internal dynamics of the Church in Spain were conditioned by a complex and dialectical interplay that it was experienced at that time for a corporation increasingly global and centralized.
