Acciones legales de los religiosos marianistas sobre sus obras colegiales durante los a os de la Segunda República

At the beginning of the Second Republic, Marianist religious were already well established in Spain through their work in education. Before the Republican laws prohibited public works of religious congregations, the Marianists had anticipated such laws and made sure each of their educational establishments had a legal, civil identity. Despite the enormous concern that this generated among superiors, it is certain that this strategy led to an increase in the number of students and in the number of degrees for religious. Al advenimiento de la II República, los religiosos marianistas se encontraban firmemente implantados en Espa a a través de obras escolares. Ante las leyes republicanas contrarias a la acción pública de las Congregaciones religiosas, los Marianistas se anticiparon a la legislación dando una identidad legal secular a sus establecimientos docentes. No obstante la enorme preocupación que ello generó entre los superiores, el acierto de esta estrategia se manifestó en el aumento del número de alumnos y de la cantidad de grados académicos de los religiosos.
