Lima Archbishop Carlos Gustavo Castillo Mattasoglio, 71, Peru, a Pachamama worshipper who refuses Communion to his faithful, wants to replace parish priests with lay people.
According to CatholicNewsAgency.com, he informed at a July 21 conference that he spent a month at the Vatican lobbying for lay parish administrators. Castillo wants to send the priests away to “study” for instance in Europe.
He proposes "that lay persons act as pastors or heads of churches.” His examples are [empty and dying] parishes in Europe [which are artificially kept alive with church tax money] where lay people allegedly keep the community going “without the need for priests.”
“There’s a priest who celebrates Mass for them once a week or twice on Sunday, whatever it may be; but we have to think of more egalitarian ways, closer to the [long gone] people,” Castillo fantasises.
