A top Vatican cardinal on
Tuesday slammed police who broke up a Mass near Cremona for
breaching coronavirus lockdown rules on Sunday.
"No authority is allowed to interrupt the Mass," said
Cardinal Angelo Becciu, prefect of the Congregation for the
Causes of Saints.
The priest who celebrated the Mass, father Lino Viola, called
the police intervention "unacceptable" but the Cremona diocese
said he had been wrong to break the rules against public
gatherings.
