And just like in Sweden, Spain recognizes both civil and religious marriages as long as the happy couple are able to live up to a few basic rules.
As for the whole debate, I think the pope is entitled to his opinion just as I am allowed to think he is wrong. But then again, the few times I agree with the pope on something it's usually stuff like "there should be world peace" and "please help these homeless people".

The Catholic Church as a whole is opposed to capital punishment, and is fairly vocal about it.

Referring to the 1930s and then talking of re-evangelization is a rather painful gaffe, I must say.
