from a CATHOLIC perspective

      BARCELONA, 31 (NE) Cardinal Ricard Marķa Carles, Archbishop of Barcelona, recently denounced the lack of reciprocity in the relations of the Church and the Islam. The declaration was motivated by a petition that a group of the Muslim community made to the Catalan authorities so that they would receive a geographically well-centered property in Barcelona with the purpose of building a mosque. Due to this situation the Archbishop of Barcelona pointed out that "it would be elementary that for each mosque opened in Spain, France or Germany they allow to open a church in the Muslim nations, where it is absolutely forbidden. The situation is not balanced and should be reciprocal", said the Spanish Cardinal.
