8:28Now PlayingIn the historically Catholic community of Ossanesga in Bergamo province, tradition dictates that only ordained ministers should serve the holy communion—a practice reflecting deep religious convictions about the sacredness of this rite. So when Father Eros Accorigi, confronted with the absence of an extraordinary minister, turned to an altar girl to assist with communion, he inadvertently sparked a theological controversy. To many parishioners, this broke a significant ecclesiastical taboo, as the act of serving communion is traditionally reserved for those who have undergone specific sacramental ordination, underscoring the sanctity and solemnity of the Eucharist. The filmed event, which was widely shared and scrutinized on a Catholic video-sharing site, led to fierce objections from churchgoers who viewed it as an egregious breach of liturgical propriety, termed a "liturgical horror." The gravity of Father Eros’s action is summed up by his own words in an interview with La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana, reflecting the community's shock: "It was as if I had killed someone." This incident not only highlights the clash between church law and pastoral challenges but also brings to the fore the ongoing debate within the church over the evolving roles of laypeople in liturgical functions.
