From Rev. Fr J. Rapa

The bishops’ statement deploring the Nadur Carnival was clear enough, especially for those who are in charge of public order and public decency. Every year, the police are approached beforehand and asked to keep in check any obscene behaviour. Over the last few years letters have appeared in the local press deploring the immoral behaviour and the ridicule to which our faith and religious practices were being subjected. But this seems to have been disregarded by those responsible.

Certainly we have laws governing public decency and respect of our religion.

Unfortunately, our small town has become widely and unfavourably known for its indecent carnival. Let no one think that our community is happy about that.

For God’s sake, let us not give free rein to those who are systematically planning to see a secular Malta in the not too distant future.
