Video: Blasphemers Used Dishonesty and Deceit
Santiago de Compostela Archbishop Julián Barrio, Spain, has condemned a lewd video recorded in San Mamede de Piñeiro Parish Church in Ames.
He noticed that it violates fundamental rights, specifically that of religious freedom, which includes respect for “religious feelings.”
Barrios had prohibited the use of the church in writing, but the offenders used deceit, took advantage of the good faith of the parish priest, and concealed from him their dirty intentions and the refusal they had received from the archdiocese.
The filming was done in the absence of the priest and the sacristan. The video shows obscene dances in the pews and in front of the Novus Ordo meal-table. At the end a woman is aping a consecration and simulating giving out Communion. The main offender in the video is called Berto.
In Roman Rite Churches, the altar is protected by altar rails.
