12 bishops from different archdioceses of Indonesia attended the wedding mass of ciputra's family.
The wedding mass of boss of ciputra's grand children was held in Jakarta cathedral.
The critiques flew from different people especially from catholic youth forum who considered the attendance of this numerous bishops implies the loosing sense of poverty which underlines the very principle of the catholic church.
In catholic doctrine, the wedding must be led by a priest or a bishop. The blessing of the wedding by 12 bishops basically is not a mistake. But the presence of 12 bishops by any means is simply a weird fact that is seldom found. Moreover, the presence of these leaders of the church gave the sense of luxury which is in contrary to the slogan of the church which is pro poor.
The fact of blessing the wedding by these 12 leader of the church might not happen to a simple ordinary family unlike ciputra. This big company who running different kind of business is known to be donor of the church. The presence of the bishops is themselves closely tied to reciprocation to the generosity of ciputra boss who donates in promising amounts.
The presence of this twelve bishops decreases the critical attitude of the church who assuming all the churchgoers are similar. If the church is so, it will be a big question if the church attend the mass of ordinary people.
