  1. In my opinion this article is aflicted by some mal interpretations of the facts.

    Only exists a catholic (universal ) church that is not only a philantropic institution ,else that is aimed to another purposes (the man needs more things that only bread).

    The small economic aportation of the residents in Catalonia is a sample of three facts:

    First: God is dead for the modern man. Niestche said it many years before now.

    Second:The Catholic Church in Spain have lost many much terrain.

    Third: The Catholic Curch in Catalonia, is suffering a severe punishment due to his backing to the separatism wich is based in the pagan cult to materialistic and selfishs myths as the fatherland , the class supremacy and ,even, the racial superiority. All them antagonistic with the catholic frame. This contradiction is affecting to some clerygs and nuns that exib in the media histrionic comportaments backing the secesionism.

    Fourth: Exists a widening gap between clerygs that support the secesisonism and those that are against it.

    • You appear to have overlooked a rather large elephant in this room Anselmo, namely, the filthy perversions, both physical and sexual, committed by so many of the practitioners and acolytes of the Roman Catholic cult.
      That type of behaviour is somewhat off-putting to potential benefactors.
