Pedro Sanchez aims to remove Catholicism from public life

Political changes in the West mostly occur through the ballot box. A week ago, however, one exception to that rule took place in the Kingdom of Spain. On June 1, the governing People's Party lost a motion of censure which amounts to a vote of no confidence without an election, forcing Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to resign and the main opposition leader Pedro Sanchez to assume the post and form a government.

The People's Party, which had won the last three elections in Spain, lost the vote to a coalition of opposition parties, ranging from the Socialist, Communist and separatist parties. It seems a tall task for Pedro Sanchez to be able to govern with such a coalition of diverse parties, particularly the separatists. However, in one area it seems the coalition is in total agreement: anti-Catholicism.

This new government under the Socialist Workers Party, backed primarily by Unidos Podemos long before coming to power, have been advocating a long series of anti-Catholic policies. In 2015, for example, the Socialist Party proposed a ban on religious courses in public schools and even private schools. The new prime minister has also called for the Church to pay property taxes and eliminate any tax preferences for the Church. Although these policies have long been proposed by many within the Socialist Workers Party, the other left-leaning party backing Sanchez has been more radical in their approach.

And a communist.

Amazing how two of the most conservative countries of Europe, Ireland and Spain, have, in the span of a few years become the most liberal.
