French Cardinal Plays Waitress in Medieval Church

The medieval church of Saint-Bonaventure in Lyon, France, was turned into a restaurant for "the poor" on November 18 by Cardinal Philippe Barbarin. He was also the main actor.

Dressed in an apron, Barbarin personally served the 750 selected guests, working in front of many tv cameras on his "public image" which suffered considerably in recent years.

The desecration of the church imitated a similar show at which Pope Francis participated in Bologna in October 2017.

How to help "the poor" is explained in Matthew 6,2, "When you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others."

What is wrong with the man? You are meant to worship GOD - not mankind. Turning the Holy of Holies into a bar-cafe would have led to your being stoned to death under the Old Priestly Covenant. Do you think that Our Lord views things any differently NOW than He did then? Do you think that His Sanctity has deteriorated or His Supreme Majesty decreased?
Truth is, it is not HIS Sanctity that has deteriorated - It is YOURS! and woe be to thee!
Feel free to go and be a waitress full time if you want to, we'll all be better off - You and your ilk would not be missed. Go and repent before His Majesty reveals itself to those that are mocking Him and you flee petrified to hide from His wrath!

In Newchurch, the highest act of worship is to feed the poor. God is way down on the list.

A Church as a Cardinal's PR prop. Those look like some perfect tables to flip over. This guy is worse than the money changers.
