at this point people will bet on anything, even when it is an unethical thing for them to bet on, but just because they want to make money they don't care about it and still gamble their money. it's just unfortunate that there are people who use this important and sacred procession as their betting material, i know that they just don't understand about this and think that this is just an ordinary procession, because if they understand the importance of this process, then at least they will respect it.
I agree, but this is not an ethical or unethical matter in my opinion
does the catolic church has an up to date mention regarding gambling? this would be really curious to see
I think they don't but maybe I'm wrong
