Santiago de Chile Administrator Celestino Aós insists that his refusal to give Communion to kneeling faithful on Holy Thursday was correct.
He told CruxNow.com (May 14): "Where you are going, do whatever you see."
But this is not the position of the Church. The Liturgy Congregation (July 2002) called "any refusal of Holy Communion to a member of the faithful on the basis of his kneeling posture to be a grave violation of one of the most basic rights of the Christian faithful."
Aós added that "Christ is in the Holy Host, whether I’m standing or kneeling" [so why then does he discriminate kneeling faithful?].
Then he turns his abuse into a problem of his victims, "If they felt humiliated, I ask forgiveness, it was not the intent."
He stresses that he feels no repentance, "Despite this incident, I’m calm." Aós' abuse went viral after a Gloria.tv report about it.

Clericalism?? More like homoheretic. Should be made pastor of St Celistine Church in the middle of the Chilean Atacama desert.
