With which he is falling -especially him-, the former Minister of the Interior Jorge Fernández Díaz gladly carries a cross: the chufla that his Catholic convictions can arouse, to which last night he added the defense of the mysteries and revelations of San Sebastián de Garabandal, a Cantabrian village where between 1961 and 1965 the Virgin Mary supposedly appeared to four girls and I say supposedly because the bishopric of Santander has always refused to give them credibility while the Vatican maintains that "supernaturality is not confirmed".
An episode that Jorge Fernández Díaz framed in the eternal struggle between Jesus and Satan, with the singularity that some of those who deny the Marian revelation from the Church itself would be part of the second side.
-This is only understood if the Virgin calls you.
Words by Jorge Fernández Díaz, who participated last night in a dinner-discussion at the Círculo Ecuestre of Barcelona on the Marian Apparitions of San Sebastián de Garabandal, together with the family doctor Elsa Martí –precursor of the Spain Initiative with Garabandal– and Montse Moreno, a believer who was cured of a wasting disease on her eighth trip to the village. "Think that I couldn't move and I felt something that made me run away," he explained to this journalist.
Fernández Díaz is, therefore, a firm garabandalista, as they are known for their staunch defense of some mysteries –which coincided with the Second Vatican Council– in which the Virgin told the girls that "the cup was full" in 1961 and that "the cup was overflowing" in 1965, in a veiled biblical allusion to the penetration of the devil into the Church itself (which would explain his disdain for the revelations of Garabandal, made to four young girls and not to the high representatives).
The former minister accepts, in the manner of Jesus, the cross that he feels he is carrying, a weight for which he blames "Freemasonry", a force that has not disappeared, seems to him malignant and attacks his faith.
