Santa Muerte, religion in times of the 4-T?

It is a false dilemma to live on your knees or die standing. You have to live standing. Florestan.

After its prominent head of the Mexican State Broadcasting System, Jenaro Villamil, came out to promote the T-shirt that says that a real man never speaks ill of López Obradorwith the support of a image of the Holy death who with his bony index commands us to be silent, himself president He came out yesterday to say that he has no opinion, he has an opinion on everything. And when a reporter told him that they uploaded the promotion of the criminal sect in support of the official website of Brunetteresponded: Well, they have the right to do so.

And he began to get entangled by himself when he mixed the fetishism of Holy deathwith the religious freedom:

It's kind of contradictory, or it has to do with even religious freedom. They talk about death, but it is Holy death. Let's not get into that, this matter has been resolved in Mexico for some time and it is called religious freedom.

And he began to get tangled, to get lost, to go to the hill:

In this country we are free to have the religion that more adheres to our faith and we are also free not to have religion and we must be respectful of believers and non-believers, and that is the secular State, religious freedom.

And I tell you, president:

The cult of Santa Muerte is not religious, it is idolatrous. This cult began to be known in 1965 in the state of Hidalgo. However, it is not recognized as a religion. In 2003, a “Mexican-American Traditionalist Catholic Church” was registered with the Ministry of the Interior that clandestinely promoted the cult of Santa Muerte. His registration was withdrawn on April 29, 2005. This fetish cult is intended for people who permanently put their lives at risk, such as members of organized crime, or police, to which are added members of marginalized and stigmatized groups. It is important to insist that it is not a religion, but rather a syncretistic idolatry and therefore it does not have an official registration, it is not a subject of rights and it is not a religion for you to recognize shielded by religious freedom.

I hope it helps you today.

RETAILS

1. VENEZUELA.- In Maduro style, Morena wants to initiate criminal proceedings against Xóchitl Gálvez and Santiago Taboada. The only thing missing is that, faced with a reality that is denied possibilities, they want to imprison the opposition candidates beforehand;

2. PENSIONS.- One point: the pension reform does not contain any provision that guarantees that if you earn up to 16,777 pesos per month, you will receive that in retirement. It's just a promise; and

3. COURT.- When the president's minister, Lenia Batres, stated yesterday in plenary that the Constitution does not contemplate participatory democracy, Margarita Ríos-Farjat recommended that she read article 26, which establishes it very clearly. It's a matter of preparing.

See you tomorrow, but in private.
