[Mrs. Don-o]

Not sure what Protestant issues you're talking about here. There were vanishingly few Protestants in Spain in the 1930's, and as far as I know this nearly-invisible minority did not operate as a bloc with any of the political parties or any of the armed columns; neither did they align with the Communists and Anarchists, who were quite ferociously, homicidally anti-God.

So, since they weren't even there, how would Protestants factor into it ...?

Similar issue: just last year, Roger Ebert panned "For Greater Glory" (a movie about the Mexican Cristero War) on the grounds that it centered too much on the Catholic experience. (Might that have been because the Cristeros were about 99.5% Catholic, I wonder?)

Ebert said the movie should have included all religions under the banner of religious liberty. Scratching my head: did they need to shoehorn in Moonie, Methodist and Muslim cameo characters? Maybe a Unitarian-Baha'i-Lutheran love triangle, set in the exotic bullet-pocked streets of Jalisco?

Ay, Caramba.

I’m sure that Ebert would have preferred that there had been a few Rabbis mixed in :o)

Are you sure, Mrs. Don-o? I’m almost positive I read of several incidents in which the Nationalist troops identified Baptist girls in the street - by their long hair, denim skirts, and VBS t-shirts - and cried, “Look, Protestants! Shoot them!”

I was not born until 1936 so i don,t know anything about it, that is just what i was reading.

I don,t believe every thing i read and that goes both directions.

You can read about the pros and cons on any side and then take your choice.
