Manifesto of the Rosary for Spain
This December 5, the Manifesto of the Rosary for Spain was announced, which will be read in all calls. It denounces that “the Spanish nation is at a crossroads” and that it is threatened by “its progressive balkanization, the kidnapping of Parliament by anti-Spanish forces, the destruction of the middle class and the lack of a true national project.”
Above all, it is considered that Spain “suffers, above all, from a moral and spiritual bankruptcy” because “false secular religions” have corrupted “the deepest roots of the Spanish people.”
Furthermore, he states that “the State has usurped the authority that historically the Church had” and that there is a double religious persecution. One “violent” and another “that is more invisible and dangerous” and that enters “into areas in which a ruler, unless he is a tyrant, could never meddle.”
The manifesto also emphasizes that “the line that separates the just from the tyrannical regime has been crossed for a long time” in Spain and, understanding that “religion is the greatest enemy of every tyrant”, it is recalled that “the Catholic has the duty to bear witness to their faith in all areas.”
The manifesto concludes by highlighting that the Rosary for Spain is convened “with the purpose of worshiping God and venerating his Immaculate Mother. We pray for the intercession and help of the Virgin Mary to avoid the territorial and spiritual dismemberment of Spain. God is with us!”.
