The recent controversy unleashed between pro-family organizations and government officials in Spain in the wake of the pro-family march on December 30 has inspired a new campaign to promote the family rosary in the country.
Ignacio Mendez Sanz and his wife Maria Candelaria Perez, presidents of the Association of the Rosario of Santo Domingo el Real, said this week that “the problems affecting Christian families in general and families in Spain in particular” are inspiring many to pray the rosary in family.
In a press release, the Association pointed out the different challenges facing the family in Spain:
• The offensive against natural marriage, the family and human life.
• The marginalization of religion classes and especially the imposition in schools of the indoctrination class called Education for Citizenship.
• The prevailing secularism and relativism that seeks to undermine morality and Christian customs.
In the face of these challenges, “We believe that the institution of the family in Spain is in urgent need of prayers,” the Association stressed.
