Sanchez wants to use the TC to impose his ideology on Catholics but not on Islam

Pedro Sánchez continues to take steps to turn Spain into a socialist dictatorship. His government has already indicated what its next target will be.

The government wants to take the Church to the Constitutional Court for applying its doctrine

Following a recent controversy organised by a homosexual socialist mayor who was denied communion by a priest, the Minister for Equality, the socialist Ana Redondo, said yesterday that denying communion to two homosexual people is "clearly unconstitutional", stating that this is contrary to Article 14 of the Constitution and assuring that "the Church, even if there is no specific law, can escape the constitutional rules, the principle of equality and non-discrimination of Article 14."

Speaking on the same issue, Redondo also pointed out that the government intends to take this matter to the Constitutional Court (TC), currently controlled by the socialists, so that it can rule on whether this denial of communion violates "the principle of equality and non-discrimination."

A doctor of law who confuses civil law with divine law

Despite being a doctor in Constitutional Law, Minister Ana Redondo states colossal stupidities in legal matters, which should cause shame among any first-year law student. Article 14 speaks about equality before the law. Civil law, not divine law, since the Constitution defines what civil laws should be like, and not the beliefs of a particular religious denomination.

The Socialists have been trampling on this equality before the law for years, by the way, establishing different criminal punishments based on sex and discriminating against Spanish speakers who want to educate their children in their mother tongue in regions such as Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. The PSOE has been violating this constitutional article for years, and if it now appeals to it it is to distort it, as it does with other precepts of our constitution, such as the right to life, the presumption of innocence, judicial independence, freedom of information and freedom of expression.

A government attack on religious freedom

Of course, in any democratic country the Church is very free to establish the conditions under which a Catholic must receive the sacraments. The State has no right to intervene in this, and any attempt at intervention is an attack on freedoms. In fact, what the Sánchez government intends to do is an attack on Article 16 of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion and worship. An attack that is not new on the part of the left: socialists and communists have been trying to undermine these freedoms for many years.

It should be noted that the Church does not prohibit anyone from receiving Communion for being homosexual, just as it does not prohibit anyone from receiving Communion for their race, sex or nationality. The Church understands sin as those acts that distance us from God, which include having sexual relations outside of canonical marriage. This applies to any person, whether heterosexual, homosexual, a Real Madrid fan or a chess enthusiast.

A court controlled by the socialists and which distorts the Constitution

Obviously, if the Sánchez government wants to appeal to its TC (and I say "its TC" because it is no longer the TC of all Spaniards, but that of the socialists, a politicized body that is being used to redefine the Constitution to the liking of the socialists) it is not to clear up its doubts about whether the State should interfere in the administration of Catholic sacraments: it is for the socialist TC to impose the ideology of the PSOE on the Church, overriding the Constitution as the socialist TC already did, for example, with abortion.

The government turns a blind eye to Islam and its imposition of veils on women

It is significant to note that the government is putting the spotlight on the Catholic Church, but not on Islam. The scandal in question has evidently been mounted to try to cover up the corruption cases affecting Sánchez's government, his party and two members of his family.

If the government were motivated by a desire for equality in religious matters, it would also denounce the fact that Islam imposes the use of the veil on women but not on men, but it does not do so, perhaps because the PSOE is desperately seeking the vote of Muslims and does not want to bother them by intruding on their religious beliefs. However, discomforting, annoying and offending Catholics seems to be the favorite sport of the socialists in any country, and especially in Spain.

Will the next step be to demand that abortion, adultery, theft and lying not be sins?

If the government achieves its goal, the next step would be to demand that the Catholic Church not consider abortion, adultery, theft and lying to be sins, in addition to any other sin that the socialists are accustomed to. But yes: they only want to demand this from the Catholic Church. It was recently learned that in Torremolinos (Málaga) a Moroccan discotheque prohibits entry to "faggots". The government has remained deathly silent on the matter, since the religion of the vast majority of Moroccans is Islam.

Will the PSOE admit anti-socialists so that they do not feel discriminated against?

Furthermore, if the fact that a religious confession, which is a private organization, establishes certain guidelines for its followers is contrary to Article 14 of the Constitution, then why not demand that the PSOE be obliged to admit anti-socialists into its ranks? If not giving communion to a person who lives in sin is "discrimination", as the government claims, then not admitting a certain person into a party because he disagrees with its ideology should also be considered discriminatory. This is what happens when one tries to equate civil law with the rules of a private organization: the result is nonsense. But in the end, what is socialism but enormous nonsense?
