Abstract:
This paper analyzes the origins of the separation of Church and State. This separation starts in France and the United States of America and with the liberalism ideology, in the XIXth century, breaking with a long-lasting tradition. In the XXth century this evolution is even stronger, both from the United Nations as following the II Vatican Council. After describing the European context from an economic perspective, the situation of the Catholic Church in the XXth century in Spain is analyzed. It is concluded that the present situation of privilege of the Church in Spain has its roots in the Concordat of 1953 and the Economic Agreement of 1979.
