Which portrays us Cárcel Ortí, a good historian, despite some phobias such as those he has towards integrism, in his History of the Church in Spaincontemporary.
He tells us that «between 1964 and 1978 the decline in AC militants was over 95%/
-the women of AC had 150,000 members;
-the Workers’ Youth of AC, 87,000;
-the Work Brotherhoods 113,000.
Barely twenty years later, in 1979, according to the official report of the Spanish Episcopal Conference, the Women of AC had declined to 11,000 and the Workers’ Youth to 800.» (pg. 461)
As if after such an immense debacle they dare to speak to us of a conciliar spring.
