Giuseppe Santoianni, mayor of Lungro (Cisenza), has closed the city’s cathedral dedicated to San Nicola di Mira. From today until new provisions of the health authorities in the church of the municipality of Arbereshe it is forbidden to perform any religious function. A priest serving in the church, in fact, tested positive for Covid. The communication from the ASP reached the mayor’s desk on Christmas Eve. Therefore, Santoianni has ordered the closure and prohibition of celebrations as a precautionary measure.
However, there is another element that causes concern: the priest himself, of Lebanese originDays before receiving the communication of his positivity, he concelebrated a Greek rite mass during which he allowed the faithful participants to drink from the same chalice at the time of the Eucharist celebrated in the double form of bread and wine. Dozens of people, obviously with the mask down, have placed their lips on the same glass and it is not ruled out that some have ended up contracting the coronavirus. The COVID-positive parish priest was subjected to a trust quarantine and his brother who participated in the same mass; the two of you, of course, will also have to explain why they didn’t enforce the contagion containment rules.
Meanwhile, the health authorities of Calabria are reconstructing the location of the faithful who participated in the religious ceremony, documented by a video that he recorded in recent days on social networks and that was later withdrawn, to subject everyone to swabs, waiting that the infection is not spread to other people who participated in the function.
