Many of the reactions we have had to listen to after the words of the Bishop of Alcalá, Bishop Reig Pla, and the Bishop of San Sebastián, Bishop Munilla, can only be described as totalitarian. They are summary in demanding that they keep quiet and not impose their moral principles on others, a strategy that tends to be adopted by those who do not want to argue seriously about the substance of the words of their contender -usually because they know that they contain a painful truth- and, instead, they distort them in their very form, saying that they are impositions. However, this way of proceeding is a full-fledged imposition of silence, the creation of a social consensus prior to any discussion that excludes certain speeches whose content we are simply not willing to allow. To the extent that the excluded discourses affirm the truth or - at least - are reasonable, such a consensus can only be called totalitarianism.

Whoever contradicts certain dogmas of our society risks totalitarian exclusion. One of those dogmas seems to be, for example, that nobody can discuss the barbarities that from time to time the LGTB collective offers us: their insulting and blasphemous manifestations, their verbal aggressions, etc. Defending something as reasonable, as common sense, as the right of a child to be born, first, and to a father and a mother, later, as well as the inconvenience of being exposed to certain environments pansexualized to the point of nausea -among which the environment advocated by the LGTB pride demonstrators stands out- becomes an object of social persecution (no matter how much empirical programs of study one cites in its support). There is a pre-established consensus that does not befit an open society. We live in a largely totalitarian society, and this is not a metaphor. And to a large extent it has been created by the media themselves -not all, but some-, which cover up as an exercise of their freedoms what is an exercise of brute and immoral power, of a truly oppressive power.

When there are no children left. When this generation finishes consuming its own vital forces and squandering a cultural heritage built up over centuries. When the history books recall the society of banal nihilism -a civilization that Nietzsche rightly characterized with his image of the "last man", and that today is manifested, for example, in the calls of candidate to president to Sálvame, in the hours and hours sitting in front of the television, in the: "our generation does not make love, that is very corny: we prefer to fuck" (Pablo Iglesias: sic), etc.-I insist: when banal nihilism ends up taking us to the precipice, then there will be many humble and discreet people who will be able to say that they have not contributed to such outrages. But few will be those who, having power and voice, will be able to say that they risked their honor to publicly denounce injustices.

Among them Munilla and Reig Pla, who will be seen as those Quakers who, when the U.S. Constitution was approved, defended the rights of blacks against the majority of politicians -and, ironically, were silenced, precisely, under the accusation that they wanted to impose their own convictions.
