SÃO PAULO – A mural behind the altar showing artistic depictions of Catholic activists who were killed in land disputes in Brazil was covered by the vicar, who claimed that “most churchgoers don’t like to see those drawings while praying.”
The case, which sparked controversy on social media and ended up with the covering being removed 10 days after it was denounced, happened in the city of Anapu, in the Amazonian Pará state.
