Actually, you are both grossly wrong. My wife speaks fluent Spanish and she says this law mandates reading from the Bible WITHOUT INTERPRETATION. Scripture will be read verbatim without any thing else said by the teachers.

By the way, any Protestant “leaders” against this are liberals, as is the Catholic church on this matter.

Learn Spanish and read up on it. How dare you be against this.

[wideawake]

In other words, we are to disbelieve pastors from three different churches and to consider them liberals because some anonymous guy on the Internet says that his wife speaks Spanish and disagrees with them.

Right.

Since your wife has access to the Spanish sources, why don't you post the Spanish text of the law? It would be an interesting read. Why didn't you get your wife to translate the article instead of Google? Surely her version would be more reliable, si?

Are you sure the Catholic Church is liberal??? LOL!

The Catholic Church is the only church, ONLY church, I repeat that has stood against abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, embryonic stem-cell research, infatnacide — and the list goes on — same sex marriage.

Protestant churches have caved on these matters. Aren’t you aware of the number of Protestants that are coming back to the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church??

Please educate yourself.

"How dare you be against this."

Because it opens the door for mandatory reading of the Koran too.

[Tax-chick]

How dare you be against this.

Because religious education and discipleship belong in the family and in the church - whatever church the family chooses - not in government institutions. I would oppose mandatory Bible reading in the county schools for which I pay taxes, for the same reason. State imposition of any religious practice is unsuitable.

Last sentence of article: “Este domingo, el arzobispo de San Salvador, José Luis Escobar, rechazó la posición de pastores evangélicos que acusan a la iglesia católica de temer a la lectura de la Biblia porque no la alienta entre sus feligreses.”

This Sunday, the archbishop of San Salvador, José Luis Escobar, rejected the position of evangelical pastors who accuse the Catholic Church of fearing the reading of the Bible because it does not encourage it among its parishioners.

Obviously not all “protestants” were against the new law requiring (only) reading of the Bible.

[little jeremiah]

Why then is the Catholic Church against it? Is this Catholic organization representative of the Catholic Church in El Salvador?
