Madrid, Spain, Sep 18, 2008 / 16:26 pm
The Archbishop of Madrid, Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco Varela, together with two other Spanish bishops, is calling on schools to facilitate conscientious objection to the controversial school course Education for Citizenship.
The cardinal’s comments came in response to a notice sent out by school teachers who were under the impression that parents only had until the first day of classes to register their conscientious objection to the state-sponsored course.
