Daniel Morcillo states Christian identity takes precedence over political affiliation

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Daniel Morcillo Sandaza, a councilman for education and educational services in Toledo, said his identity as a Christian is more important than his political membership. Speaking after a meeting between the archbishop, the auxiliary bishop, and political representatives, Morcillo explained that his faith should lead him to serve all people without distinction.

Morcillo, who represents the VOX party, noted that his understanding of the role of Catholics in politics was shaped by reading Pope John Paul II and a doctrinal note published during the presidency of Cardinal Ratzinger. He stated that his conscience must guide him even when facing party discipline and emphasized that political disagreements should not lead to personal insults.
