Spain used to have an official State Religion: La Iglesia Catolica Romana y Apostolica. Masses and religious ceremonies were compulsory in schools, state events and specially in the Army (see the military ceremony of taking the Christ of the Good Death to a procession, in Malaga. In the original: Legionarios en el desprendimiento del Cristo de la Buena Muerte para su procesión en Málaga). No more. The Spanish lost their faith and the Spanish State is shedding its religion.

Good news, no? No more auto da fes.
There have not been auto da fes for centuries.
Franco, a passionate papist saved Jews.
Some inquistors were of Jewish origin. The most notorious was at least a quarter.
What does that mean. Beats the heck out of me.
Catholic Spain has been friendly to Jews for the last century. Pagan Spain may join the European leftist antisemitism. I prefer a modern Catholic Spain, but they lost their faith and want to enjoy like others.
I prefer a modern Catholic Spain
I would prefer a modern, Protestant Spain. No Spaniard needs the services of a priest to pray on his behalf to an all-knowing God.
God is perfectly capable of hearing the Spaniard's prayer on His own, even if it is not endorsed by some homosexual priest.
It is high time for the Vatican to simply die.
The Vatican, the Jews and the moslems (not excited about the last) will be around long after Ronduck has shuffled off his mortal coil and the prods have given up the ghost.
They will be around, no doubt.
