- Abstract
In this first part we deal with the introduction to the topic and the 1970s. This decade is commonly understood as a period of reunion between the revolution and the Catholic Church after the turbulent first decade of the revolution. We end this part with the study of Monseñor Francisco Oves as a way of saying that this reunion had well-defined limits. Cuban socialism had not abandoned its Enlightenment heritage and insular Catholicism maintained matrices of Christianity common to the pre-conciliar period. The two parts of this article explores the relationship between the Cuban revolutionary government and the Catholic Church during the 1970s and 1980s. It encompasses the period between the 1960s and 1990s, characterized by the utopian romanticism of olive-clad guerrillas in the first instance, and the severe economic crisis known as the "Special Period" due to the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s in the second. We investigate the modes, understandings, and mutual meanings regarding this topic, which appears to be central in the politics of the past two centuries, maintaining its relevance in contemporary times, namely: revolution and religion; left-wing and religion; state and religion; and state and churches. In addition to the pertinent bibliography on the subject, we conducted research in Cuban state and ecclesiastical archives in Cuba.
