Antonio Llido Mengual

Antonio Llidó Mengual was a Spanish Roman Catholic priest and pedagogue who became a leading member in the Christians for Socialism Movement and the Marxist-Leninist Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria in Chile. Llidó was born just before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War and had grown up in war-torn Spain. He had left his country to free himself from some of the restraints of the Catholic Church hierarchy and Franco’s repression.
