The newspaper “El Dia” of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in Canarian Islands revealed this Thursday that Socialists there, led by Florentino Guzman Plascencia, want funds set aside for the Church’s social work to be diverted to the Masons.
Plascencia is known in the Canaries not only for his anti-Catholic positions but also for promoting Santa Cruz as a homosexual tourist destination in Europe.
He has proposed that some $134,000 in funds for the social work carried out by the Church of St. Dominic be given instead to a program operated by the Masons that helps single mothers, despite the fact that the Church already has an outreach program to such women.
Plascencia, a leader of the Socialist Party, is also demanding that a portion of another $44,000 that is set aside for the Diocese of Tenerife be given to the Masonic Lodge located in downtown Santa Cruz.
