SAY NO TO CARNIVAL!

CARNIVAL has been constituted in the direct denial of Christian values of behavior, as if it were possible to take a vacation to morality, sobriety and decency. “Blessed are those servants whom the Lord

when he comes, find them watchful ′′ (S. Luke 12:37), declared the Master. And more

further: “Take heed to yourselves, lest it happen to you that your

hearts are weighed down with the consequences of debauchery, drunkenness, and

from the cares of this world” (Luke 21:34). The present time demands austerity,

sobriety. Not that square sobriety, so characteristic of closed figures

in “ivory towers”, but the necessary sobriety to face the clashes

end of the history of this planet (Júlio César Prado).

 

  Now the works of the flesh are manifest: sexual immorality, impurity, and licentiousness; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before: Those who practice these things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19-21
