A number of readers have asked me to comment on what canon law has to say about the Italian church where some evil and blasphemous pornographers lied about filming a wedding scene. Basically, canon 1211 covers this subject in stating as follows: "Sacred places are violated by acts done in them which are gravely injurious and give scandal to the faithful when, in the judgement of the local Ordinary, these acts are so serious and so contrary to the holiness of the place that worship may not be held there until the harm is repaired by means of the penitential rite which is prescribed in the liturgical books." I would say that filming a pornographic scene between a prostitute (they're certainly not actors) pretending to be a priest and one pretending to be a bride that mocks not one but two sacraments (confession and marriage) is certainly gravely contrary to the holiness of a parish church.
