Priests Concelebrates With "Sick and Sad" Doggie

“Sorry, but my doggie is very sick, and if I leave it at home it gets sad so I brought it to Mass,” Father Gerardo Zatarain García of Todos Los Santos parish, Torreón, Mexico, explained during a Lenten Mass.

The dog was sitting on the priest's lap and chasuble. Zatarain said that it is called Paloma (Spanish for pigeon) and that it is old and very much affected when left on its own.

The parish was the first in the world located in a sports and entertainment venue. The church is located next to the Corona soccer stadium. It was paid by the developers of the area who wanted to give the faith a space as important as the sport. The church holds 400 people with a columbarium hosting 492 niches.

Placing an animal above God is a sin of idolatry. In Romans 1 Saint Paul explains how Sodomites are idolaters who place the creature above God. If he wants to dedicate his life to caring for the animal then let a faithful priest take care of the parish since he is definitely not suitable for that position.

" I have no problem with animals in churches as long as they behave." Does that include them urinating on the carpets? @Cuthbert Mayne

"There are things infinitely more vile committed..." Doesn't change the fact a dog taking a hot steaming leak during Mass IS vile.
"morally innocent and incapable of sacrilege."
Humans, however, are not. ...including the sacrilege of knowingly bringing something into God's home that will inevitably, according to its nature, befoul it.More

Your "nuance" was read, noted and replied to. My imagery is the ugly reality you would rather ignore when it happens in Church during Mass. Clearly, you would put your pet before God, both literally and figuratively.

You're assuming a very great deal @Cuthbert Mayne , Not all churches with carpeting also have padded seats. The flooring, at least in my experience here in Murrica, has no bearing on the tabernacle or the altar rail. I say this as a church "tourist".

Even if there are tile or even marble floors, is bringing a pet (dog/ cat/ whatever) into church in any way pious when its owner knows irrefutably sooner or later it will urinate and defecate in the House of God?

If you're worried about moderinst leanings, this lack of reverence for the sacredness of the church itself, is far more modernist than the carpeting.
