Btw, funny thing, during a broadcast a few days ago, where people debated over the class of religion, whether it should or should not be compulsory for everyone (since a whole scandal started after the Constitutional Court's decision), one of the guests, Professor in Constitutional Law, if I remember well, who also happened to be the ombudsman some years ago, was defending the compulsoriness of the Religion class on everybody, and said that the decision of the Constitutional Court should be ignored, because they did not decide right, that he knows the Constitution and the guys who are the Constitutional Court these years are STUPID and "I don't know who put them there!"
LOL.
An ex minister of Education said that the class of Religion must be held compulsory to everybody, despite the fact that the Constitutional Court decided otherwise, because (lying) "The religion class has always been compulsory in our country!" and bringing up "traditional values" and that we must live by the same teachings that our ancestors and voivodes lived by, and in the same culture (smth like, "it defines us as a nation!").
There was some priest guest as well, some high position, I don't remember what, claiming that the decision of the Constitution contradicts the Constitution itself, by the fact that it goes against the "spiritual unity of the people"
The only reference I found in the Constitution about unity says this:
"The state has as foundation the unity of the romanian people and the solidarity of its citizens"
So this was translated, by the priest, to mean that "all people must have the same faith and practice the same religion and must be protected from not being indoctrinated into the Christian Orthodoxy!"
=))))))))))
P.S. And the National Council of Audio-Video recommended to all TV channels to FREELY post advertising prepared by the Orthodox Church, where well known people and national "stars" were advising people to opt in for the class of religion, trying to express how much it means to them and to their own children to have it, and how valuable it is.
LOL.
