Alejandra Yáñez / ACN.- In recent years, we have been busy defending the right to life due to the imposition of abortion. In October, we witnessed how propaganda instrumentalized human pain to promote active euthanasia. In the face of the state’s evident inability to provide quality health services, they sell us the termination of the lives of sick people as «charity.» They dare not admit that they prefer to legalize the termination of the lives of the sick rather than assume the costs of palliative care.
We have also seen how with the New Mexican School, the right of parents to educate their children has been violated, as well as the right of children to receive a scientific and quality education. With the «gender» laws, female politicians have used protection mechanisms to censor their «adversaries» and detractors. But there is another fundamental right that is also being threatened: religious freedom.
In the previous administration, deputies from the MORENA party tried to reform the Law on Religious Associations and Public Worship to determine what type of message could be considered «hate speech.» They did not succeed. But the attacks on expressions of faith have not ended. Every time a legislator makes a reference to God from the podium, MORENA legislators get furious like possessed souls, denouncing a false violation of the secular state. Let us remember Noroña wanting to limit Lily Téllez’s right to express her religious beliefs in the Senate of the Republic. The same thing happened to the emecista deputy Francisco Javier Farias from Campeche, who was violently reprimanded by the morenista Dolores Padierna. But yes, those who get offended impose their shamanic beliefs and satanic rites with singular cynicism. They are the first to violate the secular state.
Recently, the morenista deputy Arturo Ávila proposed a reform so that a government body controls what ministers of worship, churches, and religious associations share on social networks and information platforms. All under the pretext of protecting the secular state and «network neutrality.» How do they intend to maintain network neutrality? Who would define whether there is more atheist content than religious content on the network? How do they plan to prevent hate speech? By censoring anyone who dares to contradict the lies of gender ideology?
Leaders from all churches spoke with the deputy, who has already withdrawn his initiative. But he insists that a new regulatory framework must be built due to the new digital reality. Sincerely, I don’t understand why. The law already tells priests and ministers of worship what they cannot do. Our religious leaders are already quite limited in the exercise of their human rights. In other countries, they are allowed to opine on politics. Why such interest in limiting them further? Perhaps it is because priests and pastors have the mission to proclaim the gospel, and that eventually bothers those who want to implement relativism and the commodification of human beings.
