Bishop Joseph Galea Curmi delivers homily

Bishop Joseph Galea-Curmi told parishioners at the Christ the King Parish in Pembroke that while criticizing the Church and its representatives is legitimate, using insults, vulgar language, or profanity is unacceptable.

He distinguished between normal criticism and verbal abuse directed at Church representatives through social and print media, stating that using low or vulgar language when addressing those representing the Church constitutes insults.

Galea-Curmi also spoke about the Christian life, suggesting it should be an experience of joy, peace, and love rather than a collection of obligations or burdens. Referencing the parable of the wedding feast, he explained that Jesus compared the kingdom of God to a celebration to show that God's will for humanity is always positive and intended for their good.
