They must’ve forgotten their history. The Republicans lost that one in the end, and badly…not to mention that the Church survived.

Exactly. In fact the church has survived some of the most awful and trying times, its a miracle it has survived at all. But that fact is, with God’s help, it has survived and will continue to survive and if these people think staging a sick, immature little protest where they show their true colours and act like baboons will make the slightest bit of difference then they’ve got another thing coming.
 
I am a student at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. I am on another campus, so I wasn’t there during the desecration. I will, however, say two things. First of all, on top of the unacceptable act, the University has made no efforts to make justice in the matter. We know what student’s association did this (they are called “contrapoder”), they posted it on their blog along with pictures of the whole ordeal which were copied by the Spanish newspaper ABC before they removed them. The University has not dissolved this association, which is allocated funds payed for by students through our tuition and by all Spaniards through taxes. They are doing nothing.

The second thing I would mention is that I am in complete agreement with the post that mentioned the connection to World Youth Day. The Enemy will always attack when he knows that God’s grace is acting. The Church is waking up and galvanizing as the pope’s visit, and that of pilgrims from all over the world come to Spain. These attacks will only serve in the end to make us yet more aware of our responsibility to defend our faith and to be witnesses to it.

This Friday there will be a mass in reparation for the act (at 13:30, Spanish time), “misa de desagravio” we call it, I’m not sure of the translation. Please say a prayer for us and for the people who perpetrated this heinous act.

¡VIVA CRISTO REY!
 
Alvarillo, thank you for the update. Its nice to know we have members at the university who might be able to inform us of what the university will do with the thugs, once it tracks them down.

Is it true that an atheist organization has offered legal support to the students or the two groups?
 
A long, long, time ago…I wondered as many of us have about the brutality of the Old Testament and the so-called 'God of the OT". I also wondered how God could permit the evil and great injustices that occur in our world. These ponderings and questionings were part of my journey. Spiritually speaking, they occurred a long, long time ago.

Now, I am at a stage where I am left in complete awe at the patience of God. I am so glad that I am not God and that you are not God. I am glad that God is God. Glory and Praise be to God forever and ever!
 
What a bunch of hypocrits! They sit in judgement of the catholic church calling us intolerant and this is how they display their protest?

God have mercy on them!!

Many thanks for the update, Alvarillo and would most definitely carry you all in prayer. Did you know that Catholic Answers will be in Madrid for the WYD? catholic.com/projects/world_youth_day_2011.asp
