Of those sewage sludge dusts. So much has been speculated on the subject Education for Citizenship (EPC) that is understandable to produce episodes as delusional as occurred in a municipality of Toledo, Villanueva de Bogas, where the priest, Rafael Garcia, alarmed by the messages that demonize this subject, decided to write a letter in which he warned families who bring their children to parish catechesis that were kept "the right to deny someone the catechism, if not presented conscientious objection to the new subject.
Surreal or simply pathetic. Conscientious objection, contained in our Constitution as the ultimate guarantee of protection of the city - what else, if not, is a law that allows skipping the law itself? - applied to right and, especially, to claim, by parish precept.
"See boy-imagine the pastor to the white row of handsome sailor and beautiful princesses, do not you bring the statement of objection? Well ... on the street: Do not tell your parents you did not warn you .. .In defense of Don Rafael I must say I was not acting of its own accord, but fueled by a pastoral letter of Bishop, Cañizares, which added to their own doctrinal letter with more zeal than sense, which has added more than enough juice to news to open more than a newscast.
The Archbishop, as has been seen that the sludge exceeded the mark of the cingulum, amice soiled and stole, and threatened the tiara, was quick to explain in a note clarifying that "the parish priest asked Villanueva de Bogas, it rectifies the literally expressed in his letter and says he does not intended to exclude anyone who is under proper conditions, receiving the sacraments. " And if there is any doubt, the Archbishop stressed that "the children receive their First Holy Communion is not subject to exercise or not, the parents, the right of conscientious objection to the course Education for Citizenship ".
Well, it seems that this puts an end to the excessive zeal of Don Rafael, but not so with that of the archbishopric, far from correcting the sense of the pastoral letter that clouded the pastor, merely lukewarm noted that "conscientious objection to the course Education for Citizenship is a right of parents can not prevent or impose. "
Are you aware the Archbishop of alarm that is generated in the families for their disqualification apocalyptic subject? Would they have kept some of these criticisms in the case of EPC was an alternative to religion class? Has provided the Archbishop what will happen in the Catholic schools the day when parents of students, encouraged by such pro-objector harangues, decide to do the same medicine for the subject of religion? How far will cover the mud then?
