- This chapter examines the coalescence of counterrevolutionary Integrism in Restoration Spain, which rested on the belief that religious questions underlay all other issues. The political revolution’s origins were thus propagated not as political, but as satanic. Theories of sacrificial violence transformed Spaniards’ contemporary theological imagination. Expiatory cults promulgated the notion of »mystical substitution« whereby individual suffering was given freely for the salvation of others. This chapter concludes with the emergence of a violent anticlerical praxis. Iconoclastic violence had long served as »proof« of the satanic enemy and the underpinning struggle’s cosmological nature, but it became murderous in civil war.
