Tolerance is not possible today without a recognition and respect for others and in this direction is necessary to build a specific objective of recognizing that tolerance in the exercise of politics, religion or sexuality.
The ability to understand others, my self-recognition implies though, understand others does not mean having to agree with them.
Man is man for having, unlike other animals, reason.
Tolerance has its origin in reason, the logos, as understood by the Greeks, as a reason and as a word, that is, as the ability to understand and be understood.
The reason or logos, in this double sense, as the source of all patience and tolerance as the only possibility of coexistence. Unfortunately
in Spain, there is a left atavistic carpetovetónica, anchored in the tenets of the nineteenth century anti-clerical and trapped in the guerracivilismo. Without this background can not explain this anti-clericalism that more and more to remember suffered during the Second Republic , something that reflected the actual Benedict XVI on his last trip to Spain.
Now it is the turn to Public universities are making headlines for attacks on Catholics taking place in their facilities. It began with the temporary closure the chapel of the University of Barcelona by the lack of security, where security officers had to escort students to a mass after several weeks of riots and attacks - to end attempts by the extreme left of the closure of the chapel of the Faculty of History and Law.
The corollary has been what happened on the campus of Somosaguas, where dozens of militants have assaulted the religious space stripping on the altar and the priest shaking .
Spain is legally a secular state. This church-state separation is successful to the extent that is born of freedom and not the imposition of free choice and not obligation.
But this constitutional secularism in our legal system does not per se empowered to ignorance of the Christian roots of Spain, to the neglect of the condition of their overwhelmingly Catholic population. Those who are filling the mouth with the word freedom, curtailment of the exercise in those who do not share their anti-clericalism guerracivilista.
