The humor group Grotesco provided the break entertainment during the Second Chance last Saturday.

The sketch revived the character DJ Trexx, a techno artist who was the main character in the group's previous Melodifestivalen issue Tingeling.

In Saturday's segment, DJ Trexx danced around Värmdö church, surrounded by lightly dressed nuns and priests.

Something that offended several viewers.

"Charged symbols"

In recent days, Hans Gårdh, pastor of Värmdö parish, has received hundreds of emails and upset Facebook messages.

- I had the impression that there would only be a few arches and walls with a lot of smoke.

It was not the intention that Värmdö church would come into the spotlight.

The very use of the pulpit has upset many.

- What takes place in the sketch takes place in the middle of the church room with all its charged symbols, says Hans Gårdh.

- You also notice that we navigate in a multicultural Sweden.

Many with a Catholic background responded.

Here in the church is the old St: Olof statue which is the first saint in the Nordic countries.

Then there have been orthodox reactions when it was orthodox priests who were portrayed, says Hans Gårdh.

Regret

He wished that SVT and Melodifestivalen had been clearer about how the church would be portrayed in the sketch.

Do you regret that you lined up for this?

- Yes with the result in hand.

I see it as very difficult to lease the church for filming again.

You have a trust in SVT.

We hoped that it would be something positive for us as a church, but it will be the other way around

Stops future recordings

Värmdö Church has appeared in film and television several times before.

But now it's over.

- You burn the ground and I will say no to film recordings in the future.

I think all pastors will be much more careful in the future.

The Church of Sweden's Cathedral Chapter, a body that supervises the parishes, tells Kulturnyheterna that they have received a report against Värmdö parish. 

It will now be looked at whether any wrongdoing was committed in connection with SVT being admitted to the church.

- It is not unexpected when many feel hurt and offended by their church room.

It is good that it is being investigated, says Hans Gårdh.

Kulturnyheterna has applied for Melodifestivalen's project manager Anette Brattström.
