Chaplain of Polish Athletes: Mass Banned at Olympics in Paris

 This year, in a break with past tradition, it was forbidden to celebrate Mass in the Olympic Village, the Polish Olympics chaplain, Father Edward Pleń, told Tysol.pl (August 14).

He has been a chaplain for Polish athletes for 22 years. Until this summer it was always possible to celebrate Mass, but with restrictions during the Covid hysteria in Tokyo and Beijing.

In Paris, Father Plén wanted to determine the times of the Masses in advance, but "the possibility of celebrating the Eucharist was blocked."

He was told that "only prayer" was allowed: "I don't know who came up with this absurdity."

And: "The Mass is the most beautiful prayer, but they insisted. I couldn't understand it and I still can't".
