In these pictures given in the link, NOBODY was shown using beachtowels to sit on, and nobody received communion with uncovered chest.
Did you actually see these pictures?
Doesn’t it bother you to spread rumors?
“Thou shalt not bear false witness” includes telling untruths about things you don’t like.
Wow bishop.
Look at picture number 6. Plenty of beach towels and lawn chairs. If you can’t see them, sorry.
Also, I heard that people took communion without shirts from the person who sent me this. I can forward you the email. I knew it was happening in my diocese from the announcements at church, but I would absolutely have not gone.
I don’t know if you’ve ever been to the beach, but when you go there people are wearing bikinis. They like to swim in the water. I wasn’t talking about the congregation. I was talking about other people who were on the beach. Not only are bikinis inappropriate to be even near the Body and Blood of Christ, but they incite immoral thoughts, worst of all right next to a celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (yes, even if it is a NO).
Honestly bishop, you really think this is okay? I know you did not say that, but you come across as if you are defending it. Maybe I am wrong.
How do you think this is okay?! Not only do I not “like it”. It is nearly sacrilegious. The Catechism (yes even the new one) says Mass should be celebrated in a sacred place. Is the beach, where women are even sometimes wearing no tops in order to sun tan, a sacred place?! How about you ask somebody to do “Divine Liturgy” on the beach. Tell them to bring their towels and lawn chairs, and to dress with tank-tops and short shorts. See how well that goes around.
You love to split hairs, don’t you? I hope I am just misjudging. But your comment was the one which was absolute falsehood.
