'Dr Frances Lannon has written a book both impressive and ambitious. ... At last there is available in English a well researched, balanced analysis of a bemusing institution, the importance of which in Spanish history and politics it would be difficult to exaggerate.' Western Europe 'cogently argued and amply researched book ... Her authoritative account of this fascinating process of institutional and ideological transformation is distinguished by its erudition and judiciousness,' Denis Smyth Times Literary Supplement 'a dispassionate and workmanlike study' British Bulletin of Publications 'one of the most telling features of a remarkable achievement is Dr Lannon's capacity to convey the ideological and theological pluralism of Spanish Catholicism ... Dr Lannon is especially perceptive about life in the religious orders' Paul Preston, European History Quarterly 'Lannon presents a highly variegated portrait of religious practice in modern Spain.' Caroline Ford, Harvard University, Journal of Modern History 65 (March 1993)

A fine book, intelligently written and forcefully argued....Must be regarded as the standard treatment in English on the topic. --History: Reviews of New Books<br> A superb study...The author has brought together a wealth of information not found in any other single volume, and she has added her own judicious and clear interpretation of one of the most troubled national churches in modern history....Lannon says in the preface that her 'interest [is] in the internal structure and tensions of Catholic values and attitudes.' She has succeeded marvelously in demonstrating this interest in a work that will be a standard in the field for years to come. --The Catholic Historical Review<br>
