St. Hubertus Mass Sparks Controversy in Lucerne
A St. Hubertus Mass will take place on November 9th at 3:00 PM in the Jesuit Church in Lucerne. The event, featuring the 'Auerhahn Luzern' natural horn players, has sparked controversy. The IG Wild beim Wild has strongly criticized the event and those responsible.
The IG Wild beim Wild argues that the mass sends the wrong message, celebrating the blessing of hunters for the systematic killing of defenseless animals. They believe this contradicts true Christian values of mercy, respect for life, and love of neighbor. The group appeals to church representatives to distance themselves from these violence-glorifying and sectarian masses in the future.
Hubertus masses often mark the beginning of cruel drives and special hunts, leading to the killing of countless wild animals. The IG Wild beim Wild points out that hunting is not suitable for permanently regulating wild animal populations, as it leads to earlier sexual maturity in females and increased birth rates. They argue that hunting glorifies violence and is not compatible with the Christian ethic of respect for life.
The legend of St. Hubertus teaches that humans should live in harmony and peace with nature and animals, not as hunters but as protectors and friends. However, the IG Wild beim Wild criticizes the event for promoting the opposite message.
The St. Hubertus Mass in Lucerne has drawn criticism from the IG Wild beim Wild, who argue that it glorifies violence and contradicts Christian values. They urge church representatives to reconsider their support for such events. The mass, scheduled for November 9th, is expected to proceed despite the controversy.
