‘I am disturbed that as we defend the sanctity of places of worship, many of us insult or exclude the most important temple of all: the human person’

San Jose herself apologized, acknowledging that many felt offended “even though my only intentions were to share joy and to give support tot the church through the benefit concert.” She said that “this is a lesson learned.” Edu Albaro, 47, was not allowed to enter because he was wearing shorts. Still, he said the dress code is proper because the basilica is holy.
It is a valid concern. More than that, it is an obligation by any religious community to keep their places of worship holy. It is a universal truth across major religions: the person is more important than any structure. In the Bible, Saint Paul tells the Corinthians, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?”
To emphasize, “other uses” of the church can be permitted with the permission of “the ordinary” — another term for “local bishop.”
