    "Erase baptismal record, Spanish court tells Valencia archdiocese"

    Silliness:

    A Spanish court has ordered Catholic officials in Valencia to remove a man’s name from Church baptismal records.

    Manuel Blat Gonzalez, a homosexual man who objected to the Church’s campaign against same-sex marriage, had demanded that the Church erase the record of his baptism 40 years ago. The Valencia archdiocese refused, explaining that baptism cannot be reversed and the record is a historical document.

    The Data Protection Agency, a government body charged with preserving individual privacy, took up the Blat case and won a court ruling that required the Church to discard sacramental records of those who made the request. The Valencia archdiocese appealed, but the appeal has now been rejected.

    But when silliness reaches the level of legal precedent - serious.
