In addition, the pastor of Neringa has been in this parish for several years, and although it is customary to transfer priests to other places, the clergyman Rimvydas Adomavičius assures that nobody from this parish has tried to evict him. However, the Bishop of Telšiai speaks differently.
We often hear priests calling to pray for the Holy Father, the dead who suffer from hunger and peace in the world. Nida’s Catholic priest R. Adomavičius invites parishioners to pray for the mayor of Neringa D. Jasaitis.
“Take care of our Pope Francis, the Bishop of Samogitia Kęstutis, all the bishops, priests, the mayor of our city, Darius Jasaitis, the employees of the administration,” says the priest in an audio recording available for LNK News.
Photographer Jonas Staselis, who participated in the mass, said it seemed very strange to him. The mayor was urged to pray twice.
“It just came to our attention then. It wasn’t as one for him, but for everyone together,” said J. Staselis. According to him, the mayor himself attended the mass.
“It just came to our attention then. If the church is separated from the state,” he said.
It is uncomfortable for Mayor D. Jasaitis himself.
“I feel uncomfortable as a modest person. We pray that we make the best possible decisions, not for ourselves,” explained the mayor of Neringa.
The priest R. Adomavičius himself does not defend that he is praying for the mayor.
“It just came to our attention then. Decisions are made for everyone. Is it the mayor who needs to pour dirt, gossip? Anyone Decisions if you do … or write something. And in his gossip, the negative would lead. Would you have fun “Would it be fun for your parents? A person needs prayer support all the time,” the priest told LNK news.
There are also more manifestations of the mix of divine and local government. The church itself does not pay for the public services of the Nida church. Who pays, the responses of the priest and the mayor are different.
“I do not know, I do not receive invoices. The municipality pays for public services (services, aut. P.)”, said R. Adomavičius, pastor of Neringa.
And the mayor of Neringa denies it. The mayor explains that part of the church building belongs to the municipality, therefore, the Neringa “Agila” Information Center for Culture and Tourism pays.
“Those who budget their heating and electricity costs for the church,” he said.
But the Agila tourist center is financed by the municipality. It turns out that the money just makes a circle, but it’s still out of the pockets of taxpayers.
Service in a parish generally lasts about 7 years, then the priest is sent to another location. This is done so that the priests do not live too long in one place.
R. Adomavičius is the father of the spirit of Neringa for 15 years. The priests are rotated by the bishops.
“It didn’t rot, it didn’t rot, that’s what I can say,” Neringa pastor R. Adomavičius told LNK News.
But Bishop Kęstutis Kėvalas says something completely different.
“Priest Rimvydas has already been spoken to about the possibility of movement, but since it was not possible to make a rotation regarding him, meanwhile, he is still in Nida. But of course, he is already in the situation anyway. of the movement, “said K. Kėvalas.
J. Staselis, who participated in the mass, shared the rumors floating in the Neringa community.
“People in the community say that the bishop was told that if the pastor changed, then the church itself would have to pay for heating and utilities. Whether this was the case or not, only the bishop himself can say,” he said. J. Staselis to LNK News.
K. Kėvalas claims that no one imposed such conditions on him.
“It just came to our attention then. The movement has absolutely nothing to do with any agreement with the municipality,” said K. Kėvalas.
