The second exile of cardinal Vidal i Barraquer (1939-1943)
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
From the unpublished memoirs of the canon Joan Viladrich, the former private secretary of Cardinal Francesc Vidal i Barraquer, we analyse the second and final exile of the prelate of Tarragona, correspond-ing to his banishment imposed by Franco. We present the Cardinal as an uncomfortable figure for the new regime established in Spain, which man-aged to get rid of him in the face of an impassive Vatican and while unable to find a solution to the issue. In Vidal’s reports to the Pope, one can see his disapproval of the Franco regime and the fruitless struggle to reverse the Cardinal’s personal situation.
