A Catholic archbishop in Spain is causing controversy by implying that women are primarily to blame for domestic violence. Archbishop Braulio Rodriguez Plaza of Toledo told his congregation on Dec. 27 that domestic violence mainly occurs when a woman asks her husband for divorce, reports The Local. "Often, the macho reaction comes about because [the woman] asked for a separation," Rodriguez Plaza said in his sermon, according to The Local. He added that the majority of domestic abuse deaths occur when a man "does not accept" his partner or "rejects them for not accepting their demands."
