Celebrating Latin Mass on an Altar Is Forbidden - Sitting on It Is Allowed
The latest gag: Bettina Filacanavo, 50, a journalist posing as an "art student", sits for three hours on the altar of St Matthias church in Steinhausen, Switzerland. The church was built in the 17th century.
The first session took place on 4 May. It will be repeated on 26 May, with Filacanavo wearing a blue dress with a veil. When she is normal, she works as a spokeswoman for a Protestant aid organisation.
The title of the performance, which depicts Our Lady of Mercy (German: Schutzmantelmadonna) who is protecting people, is "Mothers". The idea - to fight against war and rearmament in Europe - would not be bad if it were not mixed with blasphemy and infantile feminist prejudices. To quote: "Mary, who experienced all this suffering - war, flight, loss of her child - stands in my work as a woman of resistance. She stands for all women who resist patriarchal power structures and consciously oppose male violence".
The reality is more complex than the naive Filacanavo imagines: many of the leading promoters of war are women: Nancy Pelosi (USA), Kamala Harris (USA), Hillary Clinton and their equivalents in Europe, Ursula van der Leichen (EU), Annalena Bärbock (Germany), Giorgia Meloni (Italy), Sanna Marin (Finland), Kaja Kallas (Estonia), Ingrida Šimonytė (Lithuania).
Filacanovo is also calling for a change in the "status of women" in the Church of Christ. That is why she does not sit directly on the altar, but on a stool on the altar, in order to be more elevated.
