There was an odd story from Holy Week about the new man in the Chilean capital, Santiago. Bishop Celestino Aós, the apostolic administrator who succeeds not one but two cardinals who are under examination by prosecutors for covering up sexual abuse.
It’s an odd story, because it is not about that complex situation, but about the most routine thing a priest might do: distributing Holy Communion. Apparently, at the Chrism Mass in Santiago, Bishop Aós refused to give the Sacred Host to two communicants who knelt. In fact it is more than apparent – a video recording was made of it.
