Talk:Spanish confiscation

Title should be Spanish Disentailment
This is a good article but an incorrect title. The Spanish name for the process is desamortización, which means "disentailment" not "confiscation." The point of the process was not to confiscate property but to force the sale of entailed corporate-owned estates to small holders with aim (not achieved, but that's another matter) of creating a class of yeoman farmers as a basis for the development of capitalism in Spain.

Priests paid by the state
Wasn't the desamortización used as justification (I don't remember when) for the priests being salaried by the state. Perhaps in the Spanish Concordates? --Error (talk) 19:54, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
