Madrid (EFE) and has indicated that “the sentences must be abided by, but one is not obliged to share them.”
This week, the Constitutional Court has dismissed Vox’s appeal against the Celaá law, which includes the prohibition on private centers receiving public funds if they separate by sex and also considers the absence of mention of religion as a subject in the Constitution to be in accordance with the Constitution. educational curriculum.
In a press conference after the meeting of the Plenary Assembly of the bishops, García Magán recalled that the Constitution enshrines the fundamental right of parents to choose the education of their children and, among the options, is that of educational centers for guidance religious.
He has defended, therefore, that parents opt for a center that segregates by sex that is a model “current in other countries” and that – he has assured – is “proven that it has pedagogical effectiveness”.
In his opinion, the State from its neutrality should also support this “differentiated education.”
Silence before the exhumation of Primo de Rivera
The spokesman for the bishops has stressed, on the other hand, that the EEC has nothing to say about the exhumation of the remains of the founder of the Falange, José Antonio Primo de Rivera, to be transferred from the basilica of Valle de Cuelgamuros (formerly Valley of the Fallen) to the Madrid cemetery of San Isidro, since “it is the family that decides where to bury their deceased”.
And he has not given an opinion on behalf of the Episcopal Conference on the future of the Benedictine monks who remain in the place, indicating that it is not a matter of his competence.
As he explained, the current community of the valley is a priory that depends on an abbey in France and who can pronounce is the Archdiocese of Madrid. “I am not going to get into the Archdiocese of Madrid”, he has settled her.
Against surrogacy
The Episcopal Commission for the Laity, Family and Life has also published a note in which it calls for legislation that prevents surrogacy, a practice that it considers, “unequivocally, a new form of exploitation of women, contrary to the dignity of the person” and that reduces his body to be “a human incubator”.
García Magán, who already advanced the position of the bishops last month when asked about the case of Ana Obregón, has assured in his press conference that they are not referring to any specific case, “neither media nor non-media”, although He has admitted that, “as pastors”, they have to give answers to the social debates that are opening up.
In their note, the bishops assure that they understand and accompany the pain of those who cannot have children, but stress that “the end does not justify the means”, they reject the objectification of another person and affirm that “fatherhood or motherhood is not a right, it is a gift”.
“With the so-called ‘womb for hire’ maternity becomes an object of trade, which is bought and sold. The woman is reduced to a simple instrument”, emphasizes the EEC, which also recalls that no child can be subjected to “trafficking or commerce”.
