Ireland , referendum on homosexual “marriage” : 62% in favor, 38% against . Poland , presidential elections: Pro-life candidate wins with 51.55% . Spain , municipal and regional elections. Pro-life and/or pro-family candidates: 0% . Dear readers, the facts are what they are. Ireland, Poland and Spain have in common being, or having been, Catholic countries . But when it comes to voting, that translates in a very different way. Let's go in parts: Ireland . Although it may seem like a disaster, in fact it is, the victory of the yes to homosexual “marriage” is not as overwhelming as one would expect if one takes into account that all the Irish political parties asked for that yes. That almost 40% of the population voted is not a fact to take into account. Especially when the Irish bishops have maintained, to their shame, a very low profile in the previous campaign.
Certainly the credibility of the Irish episcopate is on the rocks given the scandal of the infamous treatment of cases of sexual abuse from decades ago, but what less than showing your face openly, even if they break it, to prevent your country, "Catholic", be the first in the world to approve by referendum something that clashes with Singapore Phone Number List natural law and Christian morality. The reaction of the Archbishop of Dublin has been weak, to say the least. He says that the Church has to review reality, look for a new language, etc. That is, the usual. Let's be clear, what the Church has to do is preach the truth clearly and emphatically. Another thing is that many do not even pay attention . There they are. Vows do not change the nature of things and do not turn evil into good. I don't imagine the apostles were concerned about the social acceptance of evangelical values. They preached them as is.

Christ said, a few enter through the narrow door while many more leave through the wide one. To all this, next year in New York Cardinal Dolan, a cardinal whose it is not known if he will rise or fall, if he will come or leave, will have the opportunity to warmly greet the gay groups of Irish origin that participate at the St. Patrick's Day parade Poland . Catholic Slavic country. Subjected to the communist yoke for decades. But with a figure who, despite the sorrows and the fact that many today want to ignore his teaching, shines with his own light: Saint John Paul II , pope. Poland is the only European nation where legislation to restrict abortion was passed and worked. Along with Hungary, it is the only country where there have been presidential candidates who champion the right to life and family . And besides, those candidates go and win. I will not say that they win only because of that pro-life and pro-family condition.
