Spanish Civil War, National Catholic Welfare Conference, Cardinal Isidro Gomá, Michael J. Ready, Spanish EmbargoAbstract
The National Catholic Welfare Conference issued official statements about the Spanish Civil War. It was in touch with the Spanish Bishops through cardinal Isidro Gomá. The NCWC condemned the Loyalist Government for two main reasons: the religious persecution and the dependence on the communists. Its position about General Franco was more complicated. The NCWC wanted the victory of Franco but at the same time, it desired the recovery of the democratic system in Spain.
