Abstract
La posición de la Santa Sede ante el conflicto español que se desencadena tras el golpe de estado fallido del 17 de julio de 1936 fue de gran cautela, cautela que no fue entendida por los refugiados católicos en Roma que habían huido de la tremenda persecución religiosa desatada en la zona republicana, ni por la diplomacia del bando nacional que desplazó a Roma al Marqués de Magaz y consiguió desplazar al Embajador de la República Luis Zulueta. El pésimo hacer diplomático del Marqués de Magaz, unido a la actuación expeditiva del gobierno nacional contra el obispo de Vitoria y el fusilamiento sumario por el bando nacional de varios sacerdotes que apoyaban al Partido Nacionalista Vasco hizo que en la Santa Sede se empezase a considerar a los dos bandos de forma bastante similar. En esta situación, el viaje a Roma en diciembre de 1936 del Cardenal Isidro Gomá consiguió enderezar la situación en un sentido algo más favorable para el bando nacional
The position of the Holy See with regard to the conflict in Spain after the failed coup d’état of 17 July 1936 was very cautious, which was not understood neither by the Catholic refugees in Rome who had fled the tremendous religious persecution in the Republican zone, nor by the Nationalist diplomacy which sent the Marquis of Magaz to Rome and managed to override the ambassador of the Republic, Luis Zulueta. The unskilled diplomatic activities of the Marquis of Magaz, as well as the harsh action taken by the Nationalist government against the bishop of Vitoria and the execution by Nationalist troops of several priests who supported the Basque Nationalist Party, caused the Holy See to start considering both sides in a rather similar way. Cardinal Isidro Gomá’s trip in December 1936 managed to take the situation to a more favourable course for the Nationalist side.
