They fought it in 1996 when Ireland permitted it again. They fought it in Italy in 1970, in Portugal in 1977. Divorce was legalized in Spain in 1932 but made illegal again when Franco heavily supported by the Church came to power shortly after. It became legal again in Spain in 1981 over Church opposition.Erphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037406583478493064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271923532585508158.post-53384040871399955682009-07-07T14:03:13.831-07:002009-07-07T14:03:13.831-07:00Thanks, james.
