This article analyses the gestation of anticlerical identities and the development of collective actions to occupy Catholic Church properties during the period of the Popular Front in rural Galicia (Spain). We also look into the rationale behind these actions, the objectives of the leaders and participants and the new meanings these actions acquired in a context of accelerated political, social and cultural change. While recognizing and valuing the importance of cultural resources in defining the anticlericalidentities, we defend the essential and activating role of the new political opportunity structure that opened up after the triumph of the Popular Front in February 1936.
