El proceso de secularización actual hunde sus raíces en los años sesenta y setenta, cuando todavía imperaba la dictadura franquista, un régimen marcado por su nacionalcatolicismo.

In all three cases antireligious violence was associated with revolution and the defeat of religion was seen either as a necessary condition for revolution or as an equally necessary result. All three revolutions were accompanied by violent ‘cultural revolutions’ targeting religion. The article engages in two levels of comparison. It explores similarities and dissimilarities among the events that took place in each of the three countries. At the same time, it juxtaposes the different explanatory models that have been offered of antireligious violence in each country, thereby initiating a dialogue between historiographical traditions that have developed in relative isolation from one another.

Mexican Catholic Church. In Spain, as elsewhere, the impact of news about this second wave of Mexican revolutionary anticlericalism was significant. Furthermore, the mobilizationbrought about by it and the discourseconstructed on it helped to shape, or at least to reinforce, some features already present in the religious and political culture of Spanish Catholicism. Spanish Catholics could see their reflection on the Mexican mirror and were able to incorporate the “persecution” and
“martyrdom” of their overseas brethren into their own imaginary and into the struggles they have already fought – and were going to
fight very soon – in Spain

Mientras que un número no desdeñable de sociólogos sigue manteniendo su validez, una cantidad cada vez mayor de estudiosos critican su inadecuación y proponen modelos alternativos que ayuden a explicar la sostenida presencia de la religión en las sociedades modernas. Este artículo pretende revisar el estado de este debate, que se desarrolla principalmente en el ámbito de la sociología, y contribuir a un mejor conocimiento del mismo entre los historiadores. Asimismo, se propone poner de relieve las posibilidades de reflexión para la historia religiosa y la historia en general que ofrecen las controversias actuales sobre la secularización. Por último, reivindica la utilidad del concepto secularización en el contexto español, siempre que esta se entienda como una “secularización conflictiva”, una secularización problematizada en su conceptualización y en su desarrollo historiográfico.

Divided into three parts, Part I, “Secularization in Spain”, frames the analysis of this secularization process throughout the twentieth century and beyond, with particular attention to the process during the Second Republic and the “quiet” secularization of society that began under Franco’s regime. Part II, “Religious Change in Spain”, establishes the broad framework of the process, addressing the changes that have taken place within Catholicism and the reaction of the Protestant minority as social mores became increasingly fast moving. Part III, “Islam in Spain”, addresses both its history (including colonial management) and current dynamics (how Islam is viewed by other religions; the impact of the March 11, 2004, attacks; and Islamophobic discourse).
