Carnival dishonour

The Bishops' statement deploring the Nadur carnival was clear enough, especially for those who are in charge of public order and public decency. Every year the police are approached beforehand and asked to keep an eye to any obscene behaviour. In the past few years letters appeared in the local press deploring the immoral behaviour and the ridicule to which our faith and religious practices were being subjected to. But this seems to have been disregarded by those responsible.

Certainly we have laws governing public decency and respect of our religion.

Unfortunately, our small town has become widely and un-favourably known for its indecent carnival. Let no one think that our community is happy about that. For God's sake, let us not give free rein to those who are systematically planning to see a secular Malta in the not long distant future.
