The Guadalajara archdiocese has taken the unprecedented step of instructing its priests to stop the practice of setting off fireworks during ecclesiastical celebrations.
The motive for the move, however, has nothing to do with allowing denizens to get more beauty sleep but is simply a safety measure. Priests will not be allowed to keep fireworks inside church properties, and will be asked to convince parishioners to refrain from bringing rockets to churches on festive days.
