Spanish Archbishop Rejects Opposition to Mosque:
Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses of Seville addressed the proposed mosque in the city at a press conference on Friday.
He cited Article 18
of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 16 of the Spanish
Constitution, and Vatican II's Dignitatis Humanae, emphasizing that
religious freedom is both a universal and constitutional right. He added
that these rights must be exercised in accordance with state, regional,
local, and municipal law. His remarks come as Seville City Council has
postponed a decision on the mosque's building permit while seeking
additional technical and legal reports following objections from the
political party Vox.
The bishops who not long ago spoke of the ‘Priority of the Gospel’ against political positions, now speak of “constitution” and “religious freedom” in the face of the construction of mega-mosques and medical centers that proclaim ‘Muslim Priority’.
