[Apologetics] Worst Mass ever ?

[Stephen Korsman]

Ouch ... not even God the Mother and Father of us all has thought to bring this sort of thing to Umtata, where the audience at the cathedral self-communicates by intinction from the chalice on the altar.

You'll have to allow images to load to see them ... or go to http://closedcafeteria.blogspot.com/2008/01/worst-mass-ever.html

God bless,
Stephen

Worst Mass ever ?
via The Cafeteria Is Closed by Gerald Augustinus on 1/28/08

Via CathCon, who never fails to find such atrocities. From the cathedral of Auch in France come these screenshots of a televised Mass. What the hell this is supposed to be, who knows. It makes matters worse that they dragged children into this stupidity. Remember, it was the French bishops who had the biggest aversion against the Motu proprio.

Just how utterly DERANGED does one have to be to come up with such an idea ? Televised, to make matters even worse. What was the idea - "Two-for-one ! Get the gym class and Mass combo!" Nothing says Christ is Lord like gigantic inflated balls in church, I guess.






Comment by a priest responsible for this:

  Many told me of their wonder: a cathedral enlightened as never before! Young people of Pop Circus moving about with a lot of grace and solemnity (for which we even earned the praise of the producer of the broadcast of the "Day of the Lord" Brother Arnaud de Coral, who was somewhat stressed at the outset by the idea of integrating "circus" into the liturgy). We all have preconceived notions and the circus is actually just not clowning around. And then with André de Lavenère and Damien Supiot as presiders, there were no worries. The movements of the students from Pop Circus melted naturally into the action of grace celebrated in the magnificent jewellery box which is our cathedral.
