[Elektronische Daten] [Cathelijne de Busser] Contrary to the absence of a uniform Spanish identity (a phenomenon that is often referred to as Spain being a ‘nation of nations'), Spain's confessional map is remarkably homogeneous. From the beginning of its existence as a political conglomeration, Spain has been a mono-confessional Catholic territory. Even at present, Catholicism is an intrinsic feature of Spanish society and - though officially a secular state - of state policy. A closer look at Spain's religious situation and its corresponding pattern of church-state relations reveals, however, some recent cracks in the century's old bond between Spain and Catholicism. Particularly secularization and religious pluralism challenge Spain's mono-confessional Catholic nature, a development that fits well into Spain's post-Francoist focus on Europe and European (secular) values. This paper discusses Spanish church-state relations from the beginning of its political existence until present times. Special attention will be paid to more recent societal developments and their impact on religious Spain and church-state relations.
