If there was any doubt that the once-Catholic country of Spain has sunk to new lows and has apostatized from the Faith, let me put those doubts to rest...
From thegatewaypundit.com and written by 
Joana Campos Spain to impose up to 2 years in prison for parents who refuse to medically transition minors deemed “Trans” by third parties, with support from the PP. - Gateway Hispanic
This is truly beyond bizarre!
As I have written many times, if Satan can get the kids, he wins the war for souls!
"On June 25, the Spanish Congress of Deputies approved a law promoted by the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) that punishes parents with up to two years in prison and the loss of parental rights if they oppose the hormonal treatment of their underage children, should an “external agent”—such as activists, educators, or officials—decide the child is “trans.”
The text, supported by the Popular Party (PP), is available in the Official Bulletin of Congress.
This legislation sanctions parents who would rather opt for psychological therapy than irreversible medical interventions, such as the administration of hormones.
The progressive left, obsessed with gender self-identification, has succeeded in getting even the PP—supposedly a defender of traditional values—to bend to its agenda.
The law enshrines the woke dogma that places gender ideology above scientific evidence.
A relevant study that criticizes hormone treatment in minors is “A Systematic Review of Hormone Treatment for Children with Gender Dysphoria and Recommendations for Research” by Ludvigsson et al., published in Acta Paediatrica in 2023 . This systematic review highlights that hormonal treatments, such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, lack solid evidence regarding their long-term safety and effectiveness. It points to risks such as infertility—particularly when treatments are initiated before full puberty—and reduced bone mineral density, which can increase the risk of osteoporosis. The authors recommend a cautious approach, prioritizing psychotherapy and further research due to the uncertainty surrounding the psychosocial and physical effects.
The irony is staggering: progressives, who proclaim themselves champions of freedom, celebrate a law that imprisons parents for protecting their children from decisions that could mark them for life. It is as if the new religion of progress demands the sacrifice of common sense at its altar.
The PP, in an act of incoherence, has betrayed its conservative voters by supporting this measure. The decision has generated criticism from associations such as the Spanish Family Association, which in a recent statement expressed its “outrage” at the erosion of parental rights.
International media outlets have raised concerns about the advance of policies that prioritize ideology over science. These reports online how the lack of medical consensus on hormonal treatments for minors is being ignored by legislators.
The regulation also threatens medical professionals who recommend non-invasive approaches, exposing them to penalties. This raises an ethical dilemma: how can doctors prioritize the well-being of minors under such pressure?
The law disregards the psychological complexity of children, who often go through phases of confusion that do not justify drastic interventions. The Spanish Association of Pediatrics has warned that medical decisions for minors require a cautious, not ideological, approach.
What message does this law send? Those parents are mere spectators in the upbringing of their children, subordinate to the decisions of third parties with their own agendas. The left seems intent on redefining reality—even at the expense of family freedom.
Hormonal treatments in minors, such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, pose significant risks documented in the scientific literature. According to the report “Gender-Affirming Endocrine Care for Adolescents, Transgender, and Gender-Diverse People” by the Endocrine Society in 2023, these treatments can cause infertility—especially when initiated before full puberty—and affect bone mineral density, increasing the long-term risk of osteoporosis.
Additionally, the report highlights the lack of long-term data on the effects on the endocrine system and overall development, recommending thorough evaluation and consideration of fertility preservation options before starting treatment.
This legislation not only attacks parental autonomy but endangers the well-being of minors. Who protects the children when the State aligns with ideology?
The final question is unsettling: what's next? Sanctions for not buying “gender-appropriate” clothing for children? The left seems to dream of a world where parents are mere enforcers of their dogmas.
With this law, Spain takes a step toward a future where prudence is a crime and ideology reigns as absolute truth."
End of very disturbing article...
Question: how many of those Spanish legislators are Catholic?
Probably a good percentage...
If that is the case, then are the Spanish bishops going to admonish -- and ex-communicate those apostates??
As usual, don't hold your breath!
Pray for the defeat of these modernist monsters -- and for their conversion!
Pray too for strength and honor!
Viva Cristo Rey! Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, Fr. Emil Kapaun and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, pray for us...
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle...
St. Joseph pray for us!!
