I had recently read that as the Church, sport is now the popular dream. Marx had said: “Religion as the opium of the people.” In the Basque Country can it be said that the Church has been a “sleeping herb”?

Taking a look at the last decades, we see that the regent bishop Don Mateo Mujika took the patriotic party in 1936 against the Spanish bishops: he was exiled. Of the 2,000 priests in the Basque Country, 16 were shot, 250 were expelled, 800 were gagged. Take doctors, lawyers, engineers, businessmen and others, who are they to be as hard-headed as the Church? The monks in the snore of the dream?

It was released by Mujika Kanbotik in 1945.Imperativos de mi conciencia is the most important document to support the Basques in those times. In 1974 he did so very little, because Añoveros, bishop of Bilbao, was not expelled by Franco. For the snoring of the sleeping grass! ?
Then, the Basque people signed letters around the world about the Basque problem. First of 100 priests from above to their bishop of San Sebastián in 1956. 339 to the whole world in 1960. Next, in 1963, to the Council, 500 from above: thanks to them it is possible to include in the decisions of the Council that the appointment of bishops will not be in the hands of Heads of State, as until then in Spain. 300 to the Spanish bishops in 1968. Again, the same question: in which departments of society, doctors, lawyers, engineers, businessmen and others, has this been observed? Sleeping with Egiz Magazine? Sleeping Bishops Larrañaga and Pildain? Sleeping to name only the Onaindia, the Subazu, the Garde?
Where have the schools been founded if not in church rooms? Who created the radio stations that spoke Basque (Loiola, Segura, Arrate) if not celibate? They could do it! If it's a matter of being able and doing it. That path was made by the celibate. Don't go to sleep!

Where has ETA held its general congresses, when it held general congresses, if not in the rooms that were in the hands of the celibate, as in the South, as in the North.

There are those who grow the enthusiasm with slogans. There's no such thing as sleep! There are those who believe that this world has begun with them, without even realizing that the ancients are walking in the paths of opening. And this is not only true for the Church.

Those whims, they're not all! The great truth. There are only a few professionals in the ball. They need fans from behind thousands. Thousands of fans in the church also make professionals possible.

One last question. Could not this Light that you have in your hands have been brought to life by the celibate for 60 years without the help of the Basque Government?
