Spain's Socialist government Tuesday told the Vatican to stop butting in on affairs of state. The warning came from Defense Minister Jose Bono.

The Vatican has publicly rebuked the government for bring in legislation on same-sex marriage and for streamlining laws on abortion and divorce.

"Faith is not something a government can impose. It is not something that it is up to the state, but rather to people," Defense Bono told Spanish radio.

2. Wow! Is this the same Spain?

Is this the same Spain with all its socio-political mess just a couple of decades ago? It really seems like the rest of the world is truly moving forward and this country is going backward. It really is unbelievable.
