It's time to dress up in formal Saiyan attire for the next Dragon Ball Z wedding
On October 5, the bride and groom had a Saint Seiya-themed wedding at the Templo Expiatorio del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús in León, Mexico. Although anime-themed weddings are not uncommon, the Archdiocese of León and Archbishop Jaime Calderón Calderón are not at all happy with the whole thing. Archbishop Jaime Calderón Calderón expressed his thoughts in a statement on Facebook on October 14.

In the post, the Archdiocese also declared: “The liturgy is the mystery of Christ celebrated and present in the sacraments of the Eucharist. Church.”
The Archbishop noted five points in his statement regarding themed weddings. That is:
1. The sacraments in the life of the Church are important because they create new life in Christ, in those who receive them and in those who celebrate them. Because the sacraments are transcendent realities and therefore have dignity.
2. Temples consecrated for worship and encounter with God are sacred places, and that is why when entering the temple one must dress appropriately.
3. The sacraments are not fictions, nor are they something imagined, they are realities that must challenge the entire being of the person who receives and celebrates them. This must be expressed in proper preparation to receive them.
4. That is why it is required that the bride and groom as well as all those attending the celebration of the sacraments dress modestly.
5. Marriage is sacred because it comes from God, and husband and wife must give that moment its place and dignity.
Archbishop Jaime Calderón Calderón explained further:
Because of what happened during the celebration last Saturday, October 5, at the Atonement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and recalling the importance of every Eucharistic celebration, I inform everyone people of God and all people of good will that no From now on, other situations will be permitted that could damage or violate the integrity of the faith and the dignity of the sacraments, and if the case arises , I ask my brother priests to suspend the celebration.
ANN contacted the Archdiocese of Tokyo to ask if it has a similar policy to the Archdiocese of León. However, as of press time, it did not answer our questions.
