the fallacy of the state religion
The RAE says the word "non-denominational "the following: Not owned or affiliated to any religious denomination.
The 1978 Constitution defines the English as a secular state but in Article 16, third point mentions the Catholic Church as distinct from other denominations: "No religion shall state character. The public authorities shall take into account the religious beliefs of English society and shall consequently maintain appropriate cooperation relations with the Catholic Church and other confessions. "
This leads to ask a series of questions such as:
Is it a state religion in their public office to swear or promise relevant charge before a crucifix symbol par excellence of the Catholic Church?
Is it a state religion that its chief, in this case the monarch, will celebrate the day of the pattern of his kingdom to a cathedral and ask the holy, everyone knows that neither alleged resting there, to fix the serious problems of "homeland", to the amazement of all free thinkers?
Is it in a non-denominational state funeral of State and related to the world of the Armed Forces and Security Forces are organized by the Catholic rite and broadcast on public television?
Is it a state religion that the royal family flaunt their status as Catholics and are broadcast with public money all the events in the lives of its members linked to the rites of the Catholic Church?
Is it a state religion that the Church take the role of party and political actor challenging laws and decisions that should only be decided and taken within the Congress of Deputies and the Senate?
Is it a state religion in the Catholic Church to enter full eyes of members of their sects most important, reactionary, and dangerously powerful in different parties as laborers to work for their interests?
Is it a state religion in the Catholic Church is funded with money ad infinitum of the English people, we have marked the box or not famous?
Is it a state religion in the Catholic Church in its propaganda and care charity the needy cope in the field of emergency social assistance with public money and take the glory and social status?
Is it a state religion in the Catholic Church is the majority owner of the charter school and the ranks of their teachers, coaches of children has led to teens once they are captured by sects such as Opus Dei?
Is it a state religion that continues to maintain the kind of religion in public schools and that teachers of this subject, which remains curricular value, their salaries are paid by the state while those imparten esta”maría” los elige la Iglesia?
¿Cabe en un estado aconfesional que haya crucifijos en centros de enseñanza públicos?
¿Cabe en un estado aconfesional que los cargos públicos publiciten y participen en actos exclusivamente religiosos como puede ser la Semana Santa o besen los anillos de los obispos rodilla en tierra mientras están ejerciendo como representantes del pueblo y no en su tiempo libre?
¿Cabe en un estado aconfesional que la Iglesia Católica tenga concedidas licencias para poder tener sus propios medios de comunicación mass, television, radio, from which to judge and criticize government decisions while receiving government subsidies?
Is it a state religion that the names of the streets and parties of almost all populations of this state are governed by an endless calendar of saints, including saints are of dubious moral character, and the official calendar of holidays also has these connotations?
Is it a state religion that exist in the military today chaplains and congregations of nuns who are part of the staff military hospitals such as the famous Sisters of Charity, who were ruthless jailers and anti-fascist Republican women during the Franco dictatorship?
Is it a secular state that all this takes place in a territory where citizens, forgiveness, subjects who practice other religions who are agnostics, atheists or simply, and most important and fundamental, advocate for a secular state?
Is it a secular state that this occurs due to a fascist dictatorship for nearly 40 years who left very well placed to arm its main ally and indoctrination, Catholic Church, leaving a legacy, rather adherence of privileges, which has continued with its bound and tied it in the form of monarchy?
THE IMPORTANCE OF A SECULAR STATE
The answer to all these questions and some more that in our dismay at such abuse, we have forgotten is: YES. It is in this state and this despite the lack of vocations and customer on Sunday, the financial scandals of sexual offenses and their reactionary positions that are still victims groups such as women, gays, lesbians or transsexuals. His power continues to grow inexplicably and the feeling of being untouchable and unpunished, as they really are constructed makes them the only valid consciousness of society, to the point to corner and intimidate Christians who advocate a base church and are completely different from the secular state.
The ills than-perfect transition and development are also guilty of this point, because in point of capitulation, if the more poignant was the resignation of the republic, was no less a denial of justice for anti-fascists who defended and denial of the secular state, the latter sold in a Concordat with the Holy See whose recent agreements were signed in 1979 (Legal Affairs, Education and Cultural Affairs, Economic Affairs and Armed forces) that are the envy of the Catholic Church in the countries where their delegations aspire to the privileged position of the English. This Concordat has not been challenged, revised and I think it falls between the government plans cuts to put the scissors in the agreements with the Church, for that and are working people and pensioners.
is essential to discuss democratic state to have as a first point of reference the church-state division and the confinement of religion and faith to the private sphere. Can not admitir, permitir y mucho menos subvencionar las ingerencias de la Iglesia Católica en el desarrollo de las dinámicas del estado y de la sociedad.
La visita del Papa por estas sus tierras de conquista se enmarcan en una situación de grave crisis económica a pagar por los de siempre, a los que también les tocará pagar los millones de euros que los paseos papales van a costarnos a todos. No sabemos realmente a que se debe esta previa propagandística de lo que acontecerá en Madrid en 2011. No sabemos si en los presupuestos recién aprobados ya habrá una hermosa partida con el nombre de Ratzinguer. Lo que sí sabemos es que todo esto es indecente y que estamos en contra (aunque is not now fashionable, politically incorrect), we are against the papal visit, of what it means and against the Catholic advertising from public television broadcast.
This is not a state religion but we hope soon to be a secular state.
