There are a few reasons. One reason is that the Catholic social teaching endorsed democracy on the condition that it constitutes a protection of human dignity and moral law, and valued common good over individualism, the dictatorship. Another reason is that thje church wanted seperation between church and state, however Franco would not let that happen.
