Popis: The Second Republic attracted the attention of the United States, which, regardless of religious beliefs, longed to confirm the success of a new democracy in a country characterized by the influence of a strong Catholic tradition. The personal correspondence and the reports prepared by William Montavon for the National Catholic Welfare Conference, as well as those submitted by Irwin Laughlin and Claude Bowers (American ambassadors in Madrid) to the Department of State, make it possible to analyse the different images and thoughts generated by the evolution of the Catholic factor in the unstable Republican context. They also prove the emergent influence of the transnational networks created by the Vatican in Spain.
