All of those martyrs died during the anti-Catholic violence of Spain's Civil War, between 1934 and 1937.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=54449">The anti-clerical attitudes that sparked that violence, and the open wounds that still remain from the Spanish Civil War, were evident in the demonstrations that occurred in Rome after the beatification. Spanish leftists and their secularist allies protested that the Church was taking a political stand by recognizing only the Catholic victims of the bloodshed during the 1930s. Their angry protests led to scuffles on the streets of Rome on Sunday afternoon.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C8B7A0A7-68AF-4593-9F23-AF143980DEDF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
