ABSTRACT
In the propaganda war, which was fought internationally and to a con-
siderable extent determined the course of the military war inside Spain, the
Vatican press played a role of notable importance, owing to the fact that
one side had taken on a religious and the other an anti-religious character.
It might, therefore, be helpful, before examining how the Holy See adopted
its position regarding the conflict, to take a general look at the Vatican
press itself.
