Communist Government in Spain Wants to Remove Franco’s Remains — Church’s Pathetic Response

Spain’s New Prime Minister intends to remove remains from the Valley of the Fallen this month

 The Archdiocese of Madrid has warned the Spanish government against plans to exhume the remains of the country’s late dictator, General Francisco Franco, without obtaining agreement from interested parties. “We want a solution which helps build a peaceful country,” said Rodrigo Pinedo Texidor, archdiocesan communications director, noting that the archdiocese is not for or against the removal of Franco’s remains

 “We are against moves which don’t have his family’s consent and don’t consider what the Church has to say,” he told Catholic News Service after Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez confirmed plans to remove the remains from a state mausoleum at the Valley of the Fallen, near Madrid, by the end of July.

When I last paid my respects at the Valley of the Fallen I noticed the remains of Antonio de Rivera are also interned there. Commies hate Franco because he showed they can be defeated and proceeded to thoroughly beat them.

As I recall my visit to the Valley of the Fallen, the remains of both General Franco and José Antonio Primo de Rivera are interred at the high altar of the basilica. To remove Franco’s remains would involve invading the sanctuary of the basilica to do so.

None of them should have been interred in a any Church let alone a Basilica.

But your side lost the war, pissant.

Apparently not.

Obviously we need to finish the job.

Who's 'we'?

Yeah, those who burnt churches and killed priests and nuns were much better.
Your beloved Reds lost. Get over it.

JP Gutierrez said...

Obviously this is not the case at all. As for those 'who burnt churches and killed priests and nuns..." they were/are the ideological children of Franco and his Black Fascists. Pinochet is a stand out example so don't be so selective when you identify murderers.

Communists are "ideological children" of Franco, donkeys fly, and I am Napoleon coming back to earth.

Tancred said...

Blaming the victims.

Characterising Communist or Anarcho-syndicalist church burners as 'ideological children' of Gen Franco is just weird. Gen Franco was far more of a traditionalist than a then new fangled fascist.

General Franco was no better than Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot or any other arch thug in history.
