Church Offers Schoolbag-Blessing Mass… And Some People Can’t Stop Taking The Piss
The Marsaskala parish church has organised a special Mass ahead of the upcoming scholastic year, during which a priest will bless children’s schoolbags.
Planned for 1st October, the Mass seems harmless enough, but people have swarmed into its Facebook event page to troll it and bash the Church’s opposition to gay marriage.
These included blogger Alison Bezzina, who posted a revamped poster of the event with the schoolbag painted in the colours of the LGBT+ rainbow flag.
Others mockingly asked whether the priest would also bless their boxers or their fridges, or if he would bless their schoolbags if they were gay.
