Archbishop laments Carnival behaviour

ROMAN CATHOLIC Archbishop Joseph Harris said he prayed for a miraculous change in the lascivious behaviour of Carnival revellers this year, but it did not happen.
It was behaviour, he said, that had nothing to do with culture, and needed to change.
Harris’s comment was made while delivering the homily at yesterday’s Ash Wednesday mass at Lady of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Church, Harris Promenade, San Fernando.
His statement followed that of Port of Spain Mayor Raymond Tim Kee, who on Tuesday said the behaviour of some masqueraders, particularly women, was “vulgar and reprehensible”.
Archbishop Harris told the congregation yesterday, “We have just completed our Carnival celebrations and I suppose that it would have been a miracle if the behaviour of some of our revellers had been different, but unfortunately that miracle did not occur. The lascivious behaviour being exhibited by some of our people, in my opinion, has nothing to do with culture; and if it has, then our culture certainly has to be evangelised.”
He said the evangelisation of culture, “is an obligation incumbent on our church and on each and every one of us. Culture is not evangelised by staying away from it. It is evangelised by entering into it and letting the graces won by Jesus Christ on the cross transform all in the culture which is not accord with the values espoused by Jesus Christ”.
He added: “Let me now state categorically that the behaviour of certain individuals during the Carnival celebrations are not the only aspects of our national life which need to be transformed.
“The pervasive attitude towards corruption, the disrespect for life, the lack of respect for the poor and indigent, and the attitude of mind which says that the colour of a person’s skin is more important than the content of their character, are all aspects of national life which need transformation”.
He called on citizens to be agents of transformation.
“We can be agents of that transformation. However, only in the measure that we ourselves are being transformed”.
The Archbishop read from the gospel, using the words of Jesus: “Take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father.”
He said, “These words of the gospel are particularly striking because we are accustomed to see politicians doing good deeds, but always with a camera person recording what has been done for posterity or perhaps for the next election campaign.
“We are accustomed to see the ostentatiousness in housing and transport and over the last two days, we were bombarded with images of persons doing all sorts of things purposely in front of the cameras for the world to see.” • See Page 11
