Apologise, Now!

From CWNews
Spanish government leaders have asked the country's Catholic bishops to apologize for the massive pro-family rally held in Madrid on December 30, Vatican Radio reports. Leaders of the Socialist governing party have charged that the Church intervened in partisan political affairs with the rally, which drew nearly 2 million participants. (The government is reporting that only 160,000 took part in the demonstration.) The government has asked the bishops' conference for an apology. Although 40 bishops took part in the pro-family event, and the hierarchy gave clear support to the event, the rally was organized primarily by lay Catholic activists.

The Bishops should retort by reminding the Socialists that membership of Freemasonry is a sin and that they must break their links with the Grand Orient.

There is a Glaswegian phrase that the Bishops might usefully employ in their response:
"Get it up ye!"

I was in Fatima post-Christmas and got chatting to a couple of Spanish priests, one of whom is from Madrid, and a Portuguese priest. I was amazed to find that they all see Masonry (with a French connection) as behind the Zapatero government, and behind the Atocha railway bombings that put the socialists in power.
