A Catholic priest in Buenos Aires, Argentina, incorporated into the celebration of the Mass a political chorus used in protests against the government of President Javier Milei.
The irregular act took place at the Argentine capital city’s Holy Cross Parish on June 9, when the parish’s pastor, Father Carlos Saracini, led the congregation in repeatedly singing “The homeland is not for sale” (“La patria no se vende”), a chant routinely used in political protests against the administration of the country’s president, Javier Milei.
Saracini intoned the chant during the presentation of the offerings portion of the Mass, when the priest presents to God the gifts of bread and wine that, later, in the consecration, will become the body and blood of Christ. The moment was captured on social media networks.
