Until April 1931, the intransigence of the Catholic church had been the principal obstacle to the inclusion in Spain’s constitutional and legislative order of statutes that would assure genuine religious freedom. After that date, the solution finally adopted by the new republican majority was so radical that it simply further embittered the existing conflict between Catholics and secularists. Things might however have been different if heed had been paid to proposals from either side advocating other formulas inspired by an ideal of broad-based tolerance, or at the very least prompted by the need to rise to the challenge posed by so unique a historical circumstance by evincing a greater willingness to compromise.
