The representative of the Holy Father in Nigeria has expressed concern about the growing “commercializing the Eucharist” trend among Catholic Priests in the West African country, warning that such practices compromise the sacred nature of the liturgy and the identity of the Priesthood.
“The increasing commercialization of the liturgy, where sacramental celebrations, weddings, funerals, and Baptism are seen as opportunities for making money, is never to be tolerated in the Catholic Church,” Archbishop Crotty told ACI Africa. The Apostolic Nuncio called on Catholic Priests to avoid excessive showmanship and carelessness during liturgical celebrations, emphasizing that the liturgy “cannot be taken for granted.”
