Beware of Marrying!

Original in Spanish

In the document “Erga migrantes caritas Christi,” the Vatican warned Catholic women to think it over carefully before marrying a Muslim, especially if they move to the husband’s place of origin, and it advises against marriage with non-Christians in general.

If the Vatican used the same logic for everyone, and humbly accepted the beam in its own eye, it would likewise advise against marriage with Christians. In Spain, a country that is 94% Roman Catholic, abuse against women gave rise in 2003 to more than fifty thousand complaints of mistreatment at the hands of their spouses. In the same country, from 1999 until today, some three hundred women have died at the hands of their husbands. According to the Spanish daily El Mundo:

They died stabbed, run over, burned alive, dismembered, thrown into the void… In many cases, after enduring abuse for years in silence. In many others, after reporting assaults and threats on many occasions.
