This week's article is taken from the New York Times. It discusses the 'problem' of removing Franco from the the Valley of the Fallen as well as highlighting the challenges Spain continues to face in addressing its recent past.

Questions:

What key ideas are discussed in this article? Do you think the writer from the NY Times is for or against the Franco regime and legacy?
What is the Church’s current position on removing Franco from the Valley of the Fallen? Do you think it is a sensible position?
Do you think the argument by the British historian Paul Preston that ‘Spain is an anomaly in Europe’ where it has a place of pilgrimage for a dictator, is valid/accurate?
