AB This article analyses the campaign promoted by the anticlerical republican press in Restoration Spain against the abuses committed by «paedophile» priests. Based on approximately 400 news items on the subject,taken from the anticlerical press of the time (1880-1912), a total of 151cases related to pederasty abuses perpetrated by the clergy have beenverified. The methodology used is based on the American sociology of«moral panics». After introducing the problem, the sources and chronology, the phases that mark the construction process of this moral panicregarding pederast priests are delineated. Attention is then drawn to theparallelism between the aforementioned journalistic campaign and thegrowing anticlerical offensive between 1898 and 1912. Finally, the journalistic crusade against paedophile priests is analysed as a politicalcatalyst for struggles that also involve the domination of gender, age andsocial class
