Are these young people Catholic?

Mons. Juan José Asenjo, archbishop of Seville, not long ago had the audacity to change the parish priest of Mairena del Aljarafe. It turns out that there is a group of young people there, responsible for youth ministry, with ideas about what the Church should be that have little to do with what the Church is and will continue to be until Christ returns. The new parish priest, seeing the panorama, decided that said pastoral care had to be reworked to make up for the “doctrinal deficiencies” of his previous leaders . That is to say, the priest did what any good parish priest should do. Youth ministry cannot be left in the hands of those who, as we will see, are very far from the doctrine of the Church on important issues.


In fact, the question that needs to be asked is not why the new parish priest of Mairena del Aljarafe does what he does. No, the question is who was the previous parish priest, who is surely responsible for these young Job Function Email List   people being so deviated from the Catholic faith . The answer to this question should be accompanied by a question to the archbishop in the sense of whether he plans to do something to prevent said priest from doing the same thing again in another destination . The fact is that the young people of Mairena affected by the decision of their current parish priest plan to demonstrate today in front of the archbishop's palace. And they have published a manifesto that smacks of cheap ecclesiastical progressivism from the 70s , with additions typical of the social engineering that is sweeping Spain in recent years.



I am going to comment point by point on this manifesto: Because of our disagreement with: 1. The gap and inability to give solid and real responses that the Catholic Church presents to social problems such as evictions, unemployment and cuts to citizens' rights in the field of education. and health. In this context of social conflict, Cáritas represents the pastoral group in charge of the charitable and social work of the Church, an organization, in turn, used by the ecclesiastical hierarchy to justify its lack of direct statements regarding these current social needs. You have to be very bad-tempered to say that Cáritas is used by the bishops to justify a supposed silence in the face of the economic and social crisis that we are suffering. Without going any further, Bishop Asenjo has spoken out on the subject through a pastoral letter , as stated by Cáritas de Sevilla itself on its website: http://www.caritas-sevilla.org/modules/news/article. php?storyid=796 And he is certainly not the only Spanish bishop who has done that. Therefore, those young people - or rather whoever prepared their manifesto - LIE.
