Profundamente anticlerical is a compilation of graphic jokes by the author Manel Fontdevila, originally published in the newspaper Público between 2007 and 2012. In this work, Fontdevila focuses his critical and humorous gaze on the Catholic Church, addressing issues such as the papal visit to Spain, abortion, education and the financing of the institution. The author claims not to feel especially irreverent when dealing with these issues, but seeks to point out the interference of the Church in political life and its consequences in retrograde legislation and unjustifiable economic benefits. With his characteristic satirical style, Fontdevila invites reflection on the relationship between the Church and the State in today's society.
