The proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic, which was welcomed enthusiastically in many sectors, ushered in a period of social progress and change. Nevertheless, conservative Catholic sectors of society were wary of the secularizing spirit of Republican legislation, especially those that affected the field of education, such as the dissolution of the Society of Jesus or the Law of Religious Confessions and Congregations, which had traditionally been dominated by religious orders. In this paper we will analyze the influence exerted by the new drafting of the constitution and an emerging republican culture on Catholic private schools in the city of Valladolid through its effect on religious practices and direct impact on the emergence of a spirit of resistance to the republican government that manifested itself in a number of ways.
