Sumario:This chapter examines the role played by blasphemy in the revolutionary situation that unfolded in the Republican zone after the beginning of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) on July 18, 1936, and the division of Spain into two halves: one loyal to the Republic and the other in the hands of a rebel faction. This revolution was characterised, among other features, by intense violence against those considered enemies of the Republican cause and of the revolution itself. Among the targets of this revolutionary ire, the Catholic Church – its clergy, its movable, and unmoveable property – figured prominently.
