Leite belongs to the United Presbyterian Church of Brazil. He read a section of the Eucharistic Prayer and received Holy Communion.
Pedrini’s removal was announced by Jundiaí Bishop Vicente Costa on February 20. He explained that such an "active participation" by a non-Catholic minister “is not permitted by the norms of our Church.”
Costa reacted probably because the video of the liturgical scandal went viral on self-promotion media causing “diverse and completely opposite reactions,” as he put it.
