The Spanish Civil War and the Vatican's Beatification of the 'Martyrs' On Point/Aired: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 11-12PM ET. By Tom Ashbrook. The Spanish Civil War was Europe's grim curtain raiser on the horrors-to-come of World War II.

Now, Pope Benedict has moved to put hundreds of Spanish clergy killed in the war on the path to sainthood. In Spain, that is still a hot political act. This hour On Point: saints and sinners of the Spanish Civil War. • Guests: George, Esenwein, Associate Professor of History,

It was the first act of modern terrorism. But anarchism as a political philosophy continues to renew itself, always asking the question: why do we need the state? From Paris then to
