That's the signal the Catholic Church uses to let all the illegal immigrants know it's time to invade the country.

I know. Our extra-constitutional separated brethren have no idea.
And there's no duty attached to this and other traditions either, if you're not into this spectacle, you're not obliged to attend it if you live in that parish. If you don't like the spectacle, go to another Mass instead. No big deal.
If otoh you enjoy it, then You're Welcome, is the Church's view. Which again, is awesome.

If you Catholics hauled that monsterous contraption down to the border and swung it at the heads of people smuggling fentanyl into the country, then that might impress me.
Maybe ya'll could even lob a few holy hand grenade-coconuts at them while your at it.

I wondered if there'd ever been a time when it turned into lethal weapon, and apparently there've been some close calls..
One of the most renowned accidents took place during a visit of Princess Catherine of Aragon. The incident occurred on 25 July 1499, during the Feast of Saint James, when a mass was held in her honor. While it was being swung, the Botafumeiro flew out of the cathedral through the Platerias high window. No one was reported to have been injured on this occasion.
What a sight that would've been!

Grok over at X said a tourist got smoked in the face one time, but as you said, no deaths, so that's nice.
