Spanish legislature ponders censure of Pontiff over condom remarks May 06, 2009

Spanish bishops are denouncing a legislative proposal to censure Pope Benedict for his recent remarks on condoms. Cardinal Carlos Amigo Vallejo of Seville sees the measure as a manifestation of a “new inquisition,” and Cardinal Antonio Cañizares Llovera, the prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship, calls it an “attack and a disgrace against a man of God, a good and just man, the utmost defender of humanity, of its dignity and fundamental rights, promoter like few others of the culture of peace and a civilization of love.”
