Talking to La-Croix.com (May 4), Lafont compared the present lockdown to “the desert” and the Babylonian exile, when the Israelites lost the Temple and the sacrifices, and the work of the priests. The only difference: Guyana priests are paid by the State, whether they work or not.
Speaking of "immature": Lafont also mentions that, when he was a missionary in South Africa (1983-96), he celebrated funerals in family homes at times, “Once there were so many people that there was no place for a table, so I put the chalice and the ciborium on the coffin.”
