social and political movement that is taking place these days because of the concentration of Sos 'Outraged' has many perspectives very interesting and is giving rise to various interpretations.
Perosonalmente, I am glad that at last, many people, especially young people, have taken on the proposals, almost verbatim, political reform electoral law, etc. that since many other areas and platforms of different ideologies and sensibilidadades, have been proposing for years. Specifically, these claims (requiring a real democracy, to reform the electoral law, a change towards a more open political system to human values, from a critique of neoliberal economic system ...), wicked are those that in the field of English Catholic social thought, which is what I know best, are being settled and proposing for years, with little media coverage and interest. So, congratulations, as they have got the momentum and the force necessary to draw attention about them, something that others have not achieved before, you may not have the appropriate support and momentum.
other hand, seems to have succeeded in awakening the social consciousness and solidarity of not a few, perhaps before, I do not know what reasons, did not see the need.
is true that not all is beautiful, despite the idyllic image buenista they are giving, in general, the media. There are also shadows, as the cynical attempt by politicians to draw income from the movement or the anti-totalitarian and radical left, which these days is rampant and calls for Sun to change political systems as bad as neoliberalism itself (Keep in mind that decades of ideology in the context of a disastrous school system, generator ignorance, along with the systematic indoctrination through media propaganda, have made an impression on a youth who is not immunized against totalitarianism because has experienced the grueling dawn of democracy in Spain or the fall of dictatorships in Eastern Europe after the Berlin Wall).
no secret that, as a Catholic concerned about religious freedom, I'm afraid the role that groups who profess a totalitarian ideology, secularism (which has nothing to do with the Establishment Clause, defended both Catholics and non-believers), they want have in shaping this movement, which some have called 'revolution' (time will tell). Are being repeated as the elderly who lived through the Second Republic and civil war can attest, almost the same patterns of thought binomial without chiaroscuro, which then was generated and encouraged by crude propaganda that doubt in mind: example, saying that the state finances the Church, which is seen as part of the iniquitous system, social and economic development against which we struggle. In short, replacing the real church by a fictitious, according to patterns and ideological stereotypes.
Social Doctrine of the Church, older than any of Marxism and the ideologies to fulfill any of us have known, and has long established a critique of neoliberalism. These days they came to my mind some words of Blessed John Paul II, spoken in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bduring his visit to Spain in 1982: 'The strike is an ethical, spiritual, because it is symptom of a moral disorder within society when it violates the hierarchy of values. The Church, through its social teaching, remember that fair ways to solve this serious problem now require a review of the economic order as a whole. " A reminder of where the system is, in other documents as Sollicitudo Rei Socialis or Annus Centessimus becoming even prophetic.
Moreover, the Church has always upheld the theological tradition, and English is witnessed, so that 'where the public authority, exceeding its jurisdiction, oppressed citizens, they should not shy away from the objective requirements of good common to them is lawful to defend their rights and those of their fellow citizens against the abuse of such authority, guardadando the limits defined by natural law and gospel ' (Gaudium et Spes, 74). I therefore encourage those Catholics who believe objectively that these conditions are met, and consider in all conscience a proper channel Sun mobilizations that arose elsewhere Following the 15-M movement, to organize themselves, locking contact with each other and trying to get into the meetings, not specifically to go against anyone or to shut off the radicalism, but to bring the Catholic view of social problems, lit by the radical inalienable human dignity and respect for all. Perhaps it is just and necessary. At the same time, remember also that it is a fundamental value of the Catholic conscience, respect for legitimate authority, so I think we should also promote respect for the elections next Sunday and the decision of the Central Electoral Board.
