De los grupos espontáneos a las comunidades de base. Fe y política en la contestación postconciliar italiana (1965-1969).

The main goal of the paper is to investigate the relationship between the religious and political dimension in the Italian reception of Vatican II from the end of the Council to the explosion of May 1968. More specifically, the paper deals with the development of the Catholic protest against the Hierarchy and the political system, the development of spontaneous groups and their evolution into the Ecclesial Base Communities.
