  • EL OPUS DEI EN ESPAÑA DURANTE LA DÉCADA DE 1940

Presentación, Santiago Martínez Sánchez (pp. 7-10)
PDF | Epub | Kindle

La España de los años cuarenta: contexto político, social, religioso y cultural, Julio Montero-Díaz (pp. 11-44)
The Civil War concluded with the military defeat of one side, with no agreements. The country was economically devastated. To a very large extent, the conflict led to the triumph of cultural and social principles typical of the various traditionalisms that existed before the Second Republic. During those years, the generation that would take power from the 1950s onwards was forged. The narrow framework of freedom effectively eliminated political struggle. On the positive side, it represented the reconstruction of Spain in all its aspects; on the negative side, it represented the strong repression and “cleansing” of the defeated side.

El gobierno del Opus Dei en la década 1940-1950, Francesc Castells i Puig y José Luis González Gullón (pp. 45-64)
The forties of the Twentieth Century were years of great novelties in Opus Dei. A few tens of members united without an ecclesiastical approval became two thousand associates at the end of the decade with a final approval for Opus Dei by the Holy See as a secular institute. Josemaría Escrivá adapted the governance to the different canonical situations of the Work, appointed the men and women of Opus Dei for the central and local councils, and explained the main characteristics of the governance in Opus Dei.

Abrir nuevos caminos: algunas pioneras en los inicios del apostolado del Opus Dei entre mujeres (1942-1945), Inmaculada Alva (pp. 65-108)
The women of Opus Dei began to develop their apostolate from 1942, once the first center was established in Jorge Manrique Street. Considering the position that women occupied in Spanish society in the 1940s, these young women set out on the adventure of spreading and bringing to life a new message of the universal call to holiness, while facing misunderstandings and many difficulties. Although they did not carry out remarkable activities, they were pioneering women who paved the way for other women with a new horizon of sanctification. This article analyses the growth of their activities and the consolidation of a new apostolate that laid the foundations for expansion throughout the rest of the world.

The article focuses in the spiritual and religious formation of first Opus Dei women. The beginning of this kind of formation was not possible in the first forties years, because of priests absence to help the founder in this task.

The article examinates, also, the contents of a very concrete event in this sense, as was the First Week for Work and Study about the women of Opus Dei formation, that toke place in Los Rosales in 1948.

Sacerdotes en el Opus Dei: 1944-1949, Constantino Ánchel y José Luis Illanes (pp. 173-216)
This article describes the path of that section of the Juridical Itinerary of Opus Dei that made it possible for incardinated priests to exist in the institution: firstly, with the establishment of the Priestly Society of the Holy Cross, as a society of common life without vows, and later, after the promulgation of Provida Mater Ecclesia, as a secular institute. The first groups of priestly ordinations of Opus Dei in the 1940s, with the exception of the very first one, are discussed below. Finally, a brief explanation is given of the steps taken to enable diocesan priests to belong to the Priestly Society of the Holy Cross.

El cardenal Federico Tedeschini y su relación con san Josemaría y con el Opus Dei, Mónica Fuster Cancio (pp. 441-510)
Federico Tedeschini (1873-1959), nuncio in Spain (1921-1936) and cardinal of the Catholic Church (1933-1959), served as a substitute for the Secretariat of State between 1914 and 1921. He was one of the curial ecclesiastics who met the first members of the Work who arrived in Rome in 1942.
