Anti-Laicism, Anti-Communism and Criticism to Freemasonry in the Salvadorian Catholic Press during the return to the debate on the Laicism of the State (1938-1940)

Based on this, this article’s objective is to present an analysis of a series of  anti-secular and anti-communist texts, found in catholic newspapers like Criterio and Chaparrastique. Three situations are interesting to note in these texts: A) The hard criticism exerted towards masonry in the anti- secular discourse; B) The strong emphasis given by catholic groups to the international context to make reference to governments that were making changes in favor of Catholicism; C) The hope of the catholic groups to revert the laicism of the State through a new Constitution of the Republic that would give the Catholic Church more rights and benefits.A pesar de que el debate sobre la laicidad del Estado salvadoreño en el siglo XIX sea de notable actualidad, ya en pleno siglo XX, lejos de disminuir, se profundizó y se vivió con más intensidad cuando se estaba fraguando la Constitución de 1939. En base a lo anterior, analizamos una serie de textos anti laicistas y anticomunistas aparecidos en los periódicos católicos Criterio y Chaparrastique. En estos textos es llamativo observar tres situaciones: A) La dura crítica hacia la masonería en el discurso católico anti-laicista; B) El fuerte énfasis en el contexto internacional haciendo referencia a los países o regiones en donde los gobiernos realizaban cambios y leyes en favor del catolicismo; C) La esperanza de los grupos católicos en revertir la laicidad promovida en la Constitución de 1886 con una nueva carta magna que le diera más derechos y beneficios a la Iglesia católica.Editorial de la Sede del Pacífico de la Universidad de Costa Rica2018-05-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticleArtículohistoriaartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfimage/jpeghttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/rehmlac/article/view/3241910.15517/rehmlac.v10i1.32419REHMLAC +, Journal of Historical Studies of Latin American and Caribbean Freemasonry plus; Vol. 10 No. 1 (2018): Vol. 10, no. 1, mayo-noviembre 2018; 299-323REHMLAC+, Revista de Estudios Históricos de la Masonería Latinoamericana y Caribeña plus; Vol. 10 Núm. 1 (2018): Vol. 10, no. 1, mayo-noviembre 2018; 299-3232215-60971659-422310.15517/rehmlac.v10i1reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/rehmlac/article/view/32419/33096https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/rehmlac/article/view/32419/35769Derechos de autor 2009 REHMLAC+acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-08-31T17:29:19Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/32419Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:45:37.089Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse
