L'abat Escarré i Montserrat a l'Espanya franquista

Synopsis of L'abat Escarré i Montserrat a l'Espanya franquista

This book provides an in-depth analysis of the figure of the Abbot of Montserrat, Aureli Escarré, exploring his evolution from a position close to the Franco regime to becoming one of its most vocal critics. Through its pages, the author examines the context of monastic life in the 1960s and the fundamental role of Montserrat in preserving Catalan identity against the dictatorship. The work details the events that led to the exile of Abbot Escarré, who was the only ecclesiastical authority to publicly censure the Franco regime.
