Archbishop Jason Gordon is condemning mas band Tribe for distributing sex toys in goodie bags to its female masqueraders. And he says if Carnival continues to slip into this type of “hedonism,” the Government should step in and regulate, particularly Carnival Monday and Tuesday, if mas bands fail to do so.
Archbishop Gordon made the comment during his homily on Sunday, saying while he loves Carnival and many aspects of it, issuing sex toys was going too far.
“We have to stop. We have to dial it back, and we have to bring Carnival back to what it has always been, a celebration of the life, vitality, and creativity of Trinidad and Tobago. Whatever happens in Trinidad Carnival goes to Barbados, it goes to Grenada, it goes to St Vincent, it goes all up the islands. We cannot be the people exporting this level. What we now reach there is hedonism. That’s where we are. We have to dial this back.”
