The English brothers applaud the decree the archbishop of Seville, Bishop Juan Jose Asenjo, which determines the "complete equality" between members of the brotherhoods in Seville so it is not possible discrimination based on sex and suggest a English guilds that still have a "veto" the woman, who "take example."

In this sense, the president of the National Federation of Women's Associations Cofrades, María Victoria Espinosa Botí said, told Europa Press, his "satisfaction" with the "welcome" news, but regretted that there are still guilds some dioceses where not allowed to participate on equal women. Given this situation, asked these brotherhoods that "hear the voice" of the females and bear in mind the "feelings" of "thousands of women who are not allowed to express their faith from the fraternities."

also Botí described as "regrettable" that the full incorporation of women as an associate has to be done through a decree signed by the Church and not born of their own fraternities and sororities.

In the same vein, the president of the Association of Women Brethren of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bTeresa Comellas, which in turn is part of the National Federation Cofrades Women's Associations, said the woman "is valid for anything like the man", for example, to be Costalera, and requested that no discrimination by sex. "No problem" when a woman is placed under a sack or be president of a fraternity.

After Bishop Asenjo has declared "full equality" of men and women in fraternities Seville, Spain, there is still some guilds composed exclusively of men. Among them is the San Juan de Avilés (Asturias), known as 'San Juan' where all the brothers are male and under 33 years mandatory.

In any case, at least in Castilla-La Mancha, Madrid, Catalonia, and now Sevilla-El Silencio, El Santo Entierro and La Quinta Angustia were the only three who had not authorized the departure of Nazarene sisters, "the guilds that are on the street during Easter and do not discriminate by sex.
