EUROPE/SPAIN - “The union of people of the same sex cannot be called marriage. They are acting outside all coherence and common sense" the Dean of the Alfonso VIII International University in Soria told Fides VIII

Soria (Fides Service) - “The law recently approved by parliament is another act of imprudence on the part of the Spanish government” D. Carlos de la Casa, Dean of the Alfonso VIII International University in Sorìa, Spain, and territorial delegate of the Castilla-León Junta told Fides. “This is totally incoherent. People of the same sex cannot marry, their union cannot be called marriage. This is total incoherence and lack of common sense. We can clearly say: the government is acting without shame, in a manner which is unjust and arbitrary. The right of adoption on the part of these couplet of the same sex is complete incoherence and aberration. It goes against nature” D. Carlos de la Casa told Fides.
D. Carlos de la Casa said Spain’s socialist government is showing that all it wants is to remain in power, to govern at any price, and so anything goes. “For them the concept of family and marriage does not exist. They are undermining the natural state of the country and the anthropological concept of marriage valid for believers and non believers”. All this will have grave consequences, said de la Casa “because this is only the beginning; gradually they will allow everything and the consequences will be unpredictable".
