A concordat was established between the New State and the Holy See in 1940, yet the treaty did not favour the Catholic Church to the degree one might expect from a Catholic interwar dictator. The fact that the political legitimacy of the Portuguese regime was not dependent on sanctioning by the Holy See justifies this apparent inconsistency. The distinctive features of the Portuguese concordat were enhanced by the authoritarian, rather than totalitarian, nature of the regime. Salazar, more so than Mussolini or Franco, was constrained by political forces not in favour of Catholic privileges. In addition, the dictator himself defended a strict separation of church and state as prescribed by the Portuguese constitution. Nonetheless, Salazar regarded the concordat as an important propaganda instrument that, in association with the 1940 Exhibition of the Portuguese World, would allow the internal and external prestige of the regime to be increased.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0960777315000466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,14]],"date-time":"2016-01-14T00:43:15Z","timestamp":1452732195000},"page":"37-55","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Interwar Dictatorships, the Catholic Church and Concordats: The Portuguese New State in a Comparative Perspective"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"RITA ALMEIDA","family":"DE CARVALHO","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0960777315000466_ref040a","first-page":"310","volume-title":"A Concordata de 1940.
