Some Christians see a “quiet revival” in Europe. But Spaniards are “religious by nature”, Jorge Ruiz Ortiz says. They think in the categories of Augustine and Aquinas. But that does not make this a revival.

A criminal court in northern Spain has acquitted 21 anti-abortion demonstrators. The judge ruled that they stayed within their constitutional right to peaceful assembly and did not harass women entering an abortion clinic in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
