(JNS.org) — Spain's government has officially granted citizenship to 4,302 Sephardic Jews as part of a new law granting citizenship to the descendants of Jews who were exiled during the Spanish Inquisition.
According to Spanish Justice Minister Rafael Catala, the naturalizations were approved a day after the new citizenship law took effect, The Associated Press reported.
The "Utah compromise" was hailed by some as a groundbreaking balance of religious liberty and LGBT rights. But now, as Indiana Republican leaders examine whether such a policy could be introduced in the Hoosier state, business leaders are roundly rejecting the concept.
It's too late, they say, for that kind of compromise to work in Indiana.
