With Ecclesiastical Approval: Explicit Video Produced in Cathedral
While they dance in highly explicit poses, they sing, “I was an atheist / but now I believe / because a miracle like you had to come down from heaven.“
"Priests" appear as the couple's onlookers, and an audience watches the two with 3D glasses while eating popcorn. At a certain point, a naked by pixelated Peluso holds Tangana’s head.
The video was produced with the blessing of the Cathedral's Dean Juan Miguel Ferrer who said in an October 8 statement that the video contained "a provoking message" which, however, "in no way affects the faith” - at most, faith in common sense which the Francis Church has lost.
Toledo Archbishop Francisco Cerro Chaves, 63, protested hours later, that he "knew nothing" of the video clip and “deeply regretted what had happened” and asked “all faithful for forgiveness" - as if the faithful were responsible for forgiveness. As usual, nobody will suffer consequences. The set-up was an evident marketing strategy.
Toledo’s 13th-century Cathedral is the primate see of the Americas.
