New setback against Christian Lawyers: the Supreme Court rejects another of their attempts to curb historical memory

The Spanish Supreme Court has rejected another legal challenge by the ultra-Catholic organization Abogados Cristianos against measures aimed at preserving historical memory. The court dismissed their appeal against the creation of two institutions mandated by law in 2022, the Council of Democratic Memory and the State Register of Memorial Entities. These entities aim to promote the preservation and dissemination of historical memory, particularly regarding the persecution of religious communities during the Spanish Civil War. The court ruled that Abogados Cristianos lacks the legal standing to challenge the decree, as their stated objectives, such as defending Christians and promoting religious freedom, are too broad and unrelated to the specific legislation being challenged. The ruling underscores the court’s stance that the organizations’ claims of ideological bias and suppression of alternative narratives lack sufficient basis.
