Al Bano sings in church at a wedding and the bishop scolds him (VIDEO)

The famous Apulian artist Al Bano he performed in the Andria Cathedral on the occasion of a wedding, singing theAve Maria of Gounoud for a couple of acquaintances.

The images of the exhibition ended up on social media and Monsignor Luigi Mansi, bishop of Andria, said: "The church is not a stage".

Through a note Monsi declared: “No one is allowed to use the liturgy as a stage to organize performances of any kind. It would be a serious offense to the celebration and the sacred place. Furthermore, it should be noted that priests have the task of verifying compliance with these rules, since the organizers may not even know them, so that no more episodes of this kind are repeated ”.

“From now on everyone is required: spouses, relatives, organizers, to behave in keeping with the ceremony which remains a sacrament and not a spectacle. Priests are encouraged to make every effort to make the specificity of the liturgical moment understood. If you really want the artists can be exhibited during the party in the reception room, ”he added.

It was learned, however, that the presence of Al Bano in the Cathedral was a surprise, the couple were not aware. The Cellino San Marco singer was invited by one of the couple's closest friends.
