Last week, a theft has been committed in the Catholic Roman church at Antanimena. In the mass of last Sunday, the priest told about the theft of the medal of Victoire Rasoamanarivo, one of the respectable figures of faith for malagasy Catholics. According to the priest, the medal is made of gold.

Theft in a sacred spot.

Following such a wrongdoing, standing up behind during the mass is not allowed anymore. Effectively, in many Catholic churches, some church-goers are used to stand up next the statues of catholic features even if pews are not filled. Only the church at Ambatonilita has a little note conveying people to have a sit.

 A theft committed in such a place considered as sacred brings many to think about the moral status in the capital. Let us hope that the prohibition will produce a good effect.
