Tasty Tidbits 🌟
- In Spain, think of the Catholic Church like the most popular kid in school: rich, powerful, and EVERYONE knows them!
- Now, what happens when that popular kid tries to control everything? Drama, right? That’s exactly what happened in Spain.
The Church vs. The State: A Feud as Old as Time 🌍
- The Concordat (1851): A fancy agreement between the Vatican (Pope’s house) and Spain.
- Effect: Made Catholicism the VIP religion in Spain.
- The Church could interfere in education and some economy stuff.
- The Church was like the big brother who wouldn't let Spain modernize or be liberal.
- Church's Squad in Spain
- 2,390 monasteries 🏰
- Nearly 60k monks, 33.4k nuns, and 50k clergy 🙏
- Fun Fact: The aristocrats (the cool, rich folks) were BFFs with the Church. They funded it and were often the top leaders there.
- But the poor people were like, “Hey, why is the Church only rooting for the rich team?” 🤔
City vs. Countryside Divide 🌆
- Countryside: Everyone loved the Church here.
- Cities: Not so much love. Many city folks were like, "Church? Meh."
- Why? The Church seemed too fancy and out of touch with the struggles of urban workers.
- Some even got SO mad that they set churches on fire and wore stolen priest outfits for fun (wild, right?).
- Remember Alejandro Lerroux? He stirred the pot with his "Down with the Church" speeches.
📚 Education Wars: Many smarty-pants middle-class folks were like, “Why does the Church have to control our schools?”
🚶♂️ The Great Spanish Shuffle: Spain's population boom!
- 1900: 18 million
- 1930: 24 million
- Not enough jobs, so many Spaniards packed their bags and moved to places like South America or France. But, post-WWI, many countries were like, "No more immigrants, please!" Result? Many moved to Spanish towns instead, leading to:
- Crowded houses 🏠
- More poverty 💸
- And of course, more tension 😖
