no, they had their own reasons...often times causes make strange bed-fellows....
most real Traditionalist Catholics supported and continue to support Franco......esp so called SV
Yes they do make strange bed fellows...And acknowledging that fact should make you try to understand why Spanish and Basque RCs fought beside Communists against the fascist hordes.
I fail to see what believing that the we all fell in Adam and our redeemed only by Christ (which is why Im SV) has to do with this issue.
The Basques were probably manipulated by the communists as they did with other groups.
Even some protestants believe we are redeemed only by Christ. Politics and religion can NOT be separated, nor are they separate issues, almost every Trad believes that.
