Any counter protest planned?
THIS is when you send in the tanks.
Its fucking ridiculous that these outdated opinions draw more protesters than the workers struggle in Spain and the US do.
Religion does that to the human brain.
Yes comrade, under socialism we will crush these reactionaries. Muhuhahaha!

This makes me wish I could back to 1936 and help those anarchists deal with the church properly. I had no idea religious furor was still so intense there. Is this mostly the older population? I thought religiosity there was lower in than in the U.S.?
Well of those 1.2 million (it isn't anyways...) I bet you that 300.000 are just kids (opus dei families have 8 kids or more and bring them to the demonstations) and 100.000 are members of the clergy.

From what I've read and experienced, Spain isn't as religious as some might think. The Catholic Church has taken a much bigger dive for the worst (in their eyes at least) then they'd like to portray. The Catholic Church, like any major religion, is just really good at getting their protests/actions/events noticed, even if their actual numbers aren't all that big in comparison to who opposes them. (Of course, it also depends where in the world it is too.)

Hilarious that in times of bailouts, health cuts, education cuts, childcare cuts, child benefit cuts etc all services and allowances that actually help childrens wellbeing are cut all the right wing scumbags can care about is the wellbeing of a bunch of cells and not the children they are forcing on the march with them to tug at the heart strings.

"The Bolsheviks have shown that they are capable of everything that a genuine revolutionary party can contribute within the limits of historical possibilities. They are not supposed to perform miracles. For a model and faultless proletarian revolution in an isolated land, exhausted by world war, strangled by imperialism, betrayed by the international proletariat, would be a miracle."
-Rosa Luxemburg
