The altar at the Sint-Michiel church in the municipality of Bree, in the Limburg province, was sprinkled with holy water this weekend to restore the church to its former glory after a sex video was recorded there.
Last week, the Limburg police opened an investigation into an explicit video, which showed a man and a woman having sex on the church’s altar, that was circulating on social media.
“From our church, intimacy was made public and put up for grabs in the media,” Dean Jaak Janssen said on local radio on Sunday. “In this way, the meaning of the church building and the altar were wronged. The place of honour to God was profaned. Many people are shocked.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
