Abstract

The present doctoral thesis raises one of the problems currently unknown for the historiographyon the regime of Franco: the presence and the projection of the Spanish Christian Workers movement in the ecclesial organisms of international scope, from the irnmediate postwar period to the democratic transition. There are two movements that stand out very especially and permanently doing this international task: the JOC (Young Christian Workers), because of its connections with the International JOC since 1956, and the HOAC (Workers Christian Action), due to its active presence in the FIMOC (International Federation of Christian Workers Movements) as well as in the MMTC (World Movement of Christian Workers). This work, which was widely recognized in Europe, was however harshly repressed by the regime of Franco and by the own Church in Spain.
