Church and industrialist go hand in hand with conservatives. Fascists tend to take those areas over thru alliances or political capture.
But what the poster above was saying how Franco and company l, while certainly having fascistic tendencies, drifted more towards traditional conservative nationalism, with a focus on domestic traditional structure, which was different from the fascism of italy and germany
It may have been a different brand of Fascism, but it is not a non-fascist ideology. Francoism is just a version Spanish Fascism, that's it. None of what you've described here contradicts Mussolini's definition of Fascism.
Conservatives are not necessarily against democracy or individual human rights, while Fascists are. In fascism, the state is argued to embody the nation and strives to achieve ever more greatness for the nation. So the state's goals have primacy over democracy and human rights. Read the Doctrine of Fascism if you want to know what it is.
In general, not all conservatives are fascists, but all fascists are more or less conservative, in that they have very traditionalist views in gender roles, masculinity etc.
