When parents divorce and cannot resolve their differences in a civilized way, the only ones harmed end up being the children, and this is a clear case of how absurd some situations can become when there is no dialogue between them.
A father from Palma de Mallorca sued his ex-wife to fulfill his wish that his only 8-year-old daughter make her First Communion, to which her mother was opposed. The conflict was resolved with a sentence of a judge who forces the girl to make, forced, her First Communion.
I will not go into religious matters, because it is not the point. When one of the parents wants their son to be educated in Catholicism and the other is not, it is a matter that they must dialogue and reach an agreement. And if not, ask the girl what her wish is, that she will also have something to say, and with eight years, she is already able to decide.
According to the mother, she was opposed to the girl making Communion because she told him that she did not want to do it, nor did she want to study Religion. That's why I write it in an alternative subject, swimming.
When asked by the judge, the girl confessed that she went to catechesis, but that she didn't feel like it much, she preferred to go swimming. Too He told him he didn't want to make communion, but would like to wear the white dress.
Is it really necessary for a judge to decide for them?
In their day, the couple married the Church and their daughter was baptized. This was taken into account by the court to pass sentence. He believes that it is not that the girl "has a need or not to make first communion, but that it is an act consistent with the Catholic trajectory of the parents"In addition, even if it is only the father who wishes to have this religious ceremony of administering a sacrament, the judges understand that" it does not cause harm or harm to the girl, nor to the mother, "who confessed Catholic and believer .
The most dramatic is that perhaps the girl wanted to please both parents and felt pressured to make a final decision. In that case, it is the parents who, sensibly should talk to the girl and each other and reach a consensus, Do not you think?
