Don't let the p*rn film crew work unsupervised.
To start with, there's probably some rule against letting a fiction film be made inside a church. But if a pastor's going to ignore that and allow it anyway, he needs to watch over the filming and make sure the church isn't profaned to the extent that it needs a re-consecration.
Anyway, Father, the thing to do is just send these people to make their movies in a suitable non-Catholic church. Some of them look more like a Catholic church than some of ours do.
Richard, take out that asterisk! Think of the traffic from Google! We could be reaching a new audience!
The story I read and posted said that a parishoner of that Church reconized it when watching the p o r n movie at home. He was really angered and went to the police about it.
How dare they perform sacrilege in my p o r n.
Hey, the guy might have his priorities screwed up -- but at least he did the right thing by reporting it. Who knows, maybe the episode was an occasion of repentence for him.
Seriously.
Why did they have to "rebless" all of the services held there since the film was shot? Does canon law really say that certain sinful acts in a church strip it of its holiness? Pete?
There have been cases in which churches had to be re-blessed (re-consecrated?) after someone was killed inside them: e.g., in 1988 when a deranged homeless man killed usher John Winters in St. Patrick's Cathedral (New York). Maybe it's also needed in some other cases of profanation.
The talk about "reblessing services" (retroactively?) does sound confused, and now that you draw attention to it, I should note that the suggestion of re-blessing the church in this case doesn't come from the diocese, but from some individual priest's comments.
