Dove, released in flight for the Confirmation ceremony, ends up being fed to the cat two days later
Unexpected ending, for the Confirmation ceremony to Ceglie Messapica. The release in flight, after mass, of the dove, as a sign of purity and love, it did not go according to plan. On the contrary. The poor bird just two days after launch she is ended up being fed to a stray cat that is part of the feline colony who lives near the Church.
The fact, which happened in the church of San Roccowas posted on Facebook precisely by those who take care of cats complete with photos of the cat holding the dove in its mouth. “This is the end of farm animals that are thrown into disarray in an environment unknown to them – reads the post – now, I know that there is another one ready in a cage to be released for the other confirmations. I tell myself, can all this be avoided? I think that the sacrament of Confirmation can still be a happy event even without being bullshit, right? “.
Dove eaten by the stray cat, on social media the parish priest declares the stop to the throwing tradition
The reaction of the parish priest Don Lorenzo Elia who, through the social profile of the Church, has decided to block the flight of the dove at the end of this evening’s Confirmation (Saturday 28 May 2022). “In the past few days – writes Don Lorenzo Elia – a post has circulated on Facebook with a photo of a kitten and a dove, not very pleasant to see, even if it represents the natural cycle of life. It seems that the event shown in this photo both to be traced back to our parish. We have decided in the community not to repeat the flight of the dove, at the end of tonight’s confirmations. Why? a celebration of this kind. And sometimes social networks convey images and messages that I think are not suitable for children. I would ask for a direct conversation with the adults who spoke with their comments. If you like, come and see me, in person, and I’ll explain my motivations. The articulation of an adult thought, always in my opinion, cannot always be represented by social networks, of which, however, I recognize the value “.
Farewell, therefore, to the custom of buying doves and then freeing them in flight, which according to some scholars would also have consequences on the ecosystem and on the health of animals themselves which, suddenly, find themselves living free, after having been raised on a farm.
