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.
