Navarra Suma has presented in the Parliament of Navarra a bill to shield the contracts of the teaching staff of Religion. The coalition points out that the faculty has been hired according to concordator and current legislation. It is therefore important to remember where the last concordator comes from. The Spanish state signed the penultimate concordato in 1850, and the II was suspended. The Republic. As it is known, the fascist coup d'état of 1936 drowned the innovative path undertaken by the Republic in the Education of Navarra and, once the war was over, the repression spread throughout the state.

The Franco regime had a great interest in ensuring socio-political control, among other things, through the Catholic religion. The Concordato signed in 1956 stated that the Catholic Church would be competent for the choice of faculty and for the establishment of the contents of the subject of religion. After the dictator's death, the basic criteria of agreement were maintained in the agreements signed in 1976 and 1979 with the Vatican. Francoist National Catholicism continued, along with other impositions: The Bourbon monarchy, the judges and police of the dictatorship, the support of the extremist elite, etc. The Catholic Church maintained privileges such as generous public funding, tax exemption and Catholic indoctrination in public centres. During the dictatorship, aid to private religious centres was increased, obtaining in 1985 the guarantee of public funding through the treaties.

The Archbishop instructs the Department of Education which professor hires and, in his opinion, if any teacher is not the right one, the contract is terminated. This presumed suitability is granted or suppressed based on chauvinist and regressive criteria, such as sexuality or appearance. Regarding the contents, we must remember that in the Catholic doctrine it is taught: “Homosexual acts are in themselves illegal, contrary to the law of nature, reject the gift of life and cannot be accepted in any way.” This is, of course, totally incompatible with the LGTBI+ Equality Act of Navarra.

On the other hand, the Church imposed that the subject of religion should be in general time, that it should be qualified and that it should be an alternative subject “comparable”, that is, that nothing be learned. However, in religion, higher grades are often placed to attract more students, and those notes serve to increase the ESO or Baccalaureate average score, as is the case with LOMCE. In addition, the matter of the Catholic religion cannot be replaced if not all the religions, beliefs or ideologies of the students, such as atheism and agnosticism, are not offered. This is impossible in the increasingly plural public school, so the fairest solution is the construction of a secular school in which religious indoctrination and the general curriculum of an integrated religious culture are eliminated.

LOMLOE will reduce the number of religious sessions compared to the previous week. In this way, if the contracts of the religious faculty are legally shielded and other works of the center are carried out, the contracts of other professors integrated in the public system with merits will be reduced or disappear. Those hired by finger stand out. In addition, the LOMLOE establishes that the subject of religion will not have a mirror subject. Therefore, taking into account this law, it would be logical for religion to coincide with extracurricular activities so as not to generate problems in the students' schedule.

Those who claim historical memory fall into an inconceivable contradiction if they support such a miserable law. It would be better for them to highlight the abuses that have taken place in religious schools and to avoid at last for all the privileges of the Catholic Church.
