That was 28 years ago, not now, I'll write the recent history of the church in Spain...
1492 - 1930 The catholic church is joined to the state
1930 - 1936 With the republic there is a separation between it and the state and with the socialist government (not the same as the American socialism, here there is another concept of socialism) there's a neutrality
July 1936 - 1938 Coup d'État, Spain, divided into republicans and fascists, the church helped the fascists and It was well known so in 1936, in the republic zone the churchs, monasteries... were sacked, burnt and many clercks were killed in some cities, the republic fights versus the church
while the fascists advanced...
1938 - 1939 May The republic signs the peace with the church (Negrin, a republican politic did it) but they lost the civil war, the fascist ultra-religious in the power
1951?- 1975, 20 November I don't remember the exact beginning date. Officialy, the State and the church were joined, that means that all the town-hall edicts, national laws... had to be signed for the church or weren't acceppted by Franco and there was a not official powerfull inquisition...
1975 - 1978 Transition, constitution, more freedom and a "democratic system"...
