In the episcopal anger, which has never been so strong since the beginning of this crisis, there is room for humor.
Mgr Luc Ravel, a former student of Polytechnique, who became Archbishop of Strasbourg, reacted strongly to the confirmation, Thursday, by Jean Castex, of the gauge of 30 people for religious services.
“Although having only done the École Polytechnique (X)
,” he wrote in a press release published Thursday afternoon, “
I thought I knew how to make a rule of three and apply a proportional presence to our huge churches.
I learned that it is not. "
He denounces
"administrative inconsistencies"
because
"the gauge of 30 people is not a sensible measure but a vexatious precaution".
As to
"Consultations"
of cults by the government, he deplores
"the governmental habit"
of
"never taking into account the proposals emanating from the French episcopate"
.
An episcopate
"totally angry",
confides Vincent Neymon, spokesperson.
