[quote]Desecrations Prompt Church Closings in Mexico
Blessed Sacrament and Sacred Vessels Stolen in La Paz

LA PAZ, Mexico, FEB. 13, 2006 (Zenit.org).- Incidents involving desecration have prompted the Diocese of La Paz, in Baja California, to close 200 chapels and churches to visits until March.

Masses will be still allowed during this time, Bishop Miguel Ángel Alba Díaz said in a communiqué issue over the weekend.

The statement came in the wake of the desecrations at the Cathedral of La Paz, the Shrine of Guadalupe and two parishes of the municipality of Comondu.

The chapels and churches will be closed to visits by the faithful, and bells will be silenced.

"On March 3, the diocesan churches and chapels will be reopened for prayer and visits by the faithful," said Bishop Alba Díaz as quoted in the newspaper Milenio.

"We decree that every Friday, until March 3, a Mass be celebrated in the cathedral and a holy hour held in reparation for all the sins committed in the diocese against the holy Eucharist," he said.

The theft of sacred objects and those of worship, as well as of sacred art, is taking place in La Paz in broad daylight.

Within the past week, the tabernacle of the cathedral was stolen, as well as a chalice and the Blessed Sacrament.

"This sacrilege is a grave sin," the bishop said in his statement. "If it was committed by Catholics, canon law sanctions it with punishments reserved to the Apostolic See, and if it was committed by non-Catholics, in addition to being a serious crime, it represents a strong and painful offense to what is most sacred of our beliefs.
