June 16, 2016 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The government of the Spanish province of Valencia has opened an investigation against the Cardinal Archbishop of Valencia, Antonio Cañizares Llovera, following numerous complaints over a sermon in which he denounced the influence of the “gay empire” on society.

If prosecuted and convicted, Cañizares could receive up to four years in prison for “inciting hatred” against homosexuals under Spanish law.

“The family is being stalked today, in our culture, by endlessly grave difficulties, while it suffers serious attacks, which are hidden from no one,” Cañizares told the faithful last month.

“We have legislation contrary to the family, the acts of political and social forces, to which are added movements and acts by the gay empire, by ideologies such as radical feminism, or the most insidious of all, gender ideology,” said Cañizares.

In another sermon the cardinal called gender ideology “the most insidious and destructive towards humanity in all of history,” and warned that “world powers are seeking to impose it more or less stealthily with evil laws, which one should not obey.”

As LifeSiteNews.com reported on June 1, the cardinal’s words about an aggressive “gay empire” seemed literally to be fulfilled as numerous homosexual and socialist organizations began to file criminal complaints against him. They were joined by numerous leftist politicians who dominate the government of Valencia, including the governor of the province, Ximo Puig, who accused him of “inciting hatred” against homosexuals.  Then, on June 3, a homosexualist group called “Lamda” also filed a complaint.

Cañizares was also the subject of criminal complaints in October of last year for his comments on the dangers of Islamic immigration into Europe, calling it an “invasion” and a “Trojan horse” that posed a danger to Spanish society.

Spanish Inquisition 2016.

  Leftist inquisition, ala Moscow in the really bad old days.  Many people have pointed out that it will be interesting to see how our Marxist pope reacts to this. So far he has given no word of support and in fact has not even mentioned it. But Francis has always hated Cañizares, who celebrates the Old Mass and is quite conservative (although he was pretty weak until recently, when he suddenly seems to have grown a spine).  In fact, Francis probably has a hit list in Spain, where they have a number of solid, intelligent and orthodox bishops, who are all under attack by the left and its various client groups, such as the gays and the Muslims.

Also, Our Frankie is meeting with one of his heroes, the leader of the radical leftist party Podemos, whom he has invited to the Vatican (originally denied but admitted just a couple of days ago)...just before the Spanish elections.
