Christopher Johnson of Bad Vestments alerts Catholic liturgical abusers that the Presbyterians are giving them a run for their money:
If you could stick these poseurs in a time machine and transport them to an authentic ancient pagan festival -- say, in Britain, around the time Stonehenge was built -- would they last more than five minutes?
This doesn't even look Christian. I'll stay Catholic, thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I tried to publish TH2's comment, and it said it published, but so far it hasn't shown up yet. So it is as follows:
ReplyDeleteThis has happened happened at my parish a few times over the last 2 years.
My reply:
You mean a bunch of neo-pagan, Druid-wannabe, Presbyterian poseurs came parading up to the sanctuary for Mass? I'd run screaming into the night.
As a matter of fact, I went one year to the annual Ecumenical Prayer Service held at my cathedral parish around Thanksgiving, and the spectacle was not dissimilar (plus, a Presbyterian minister was allowed to preach from the pulpit). My heart sank before the service when I saw the Blessed Sacrament being removed from the tabernacle. I will never again attend a "service" where Jesus has to be evicted from His own house.
Music by Zamfir?
ReplyDelete[No probs about the comment, Anita. I have the same comment problem on Blogger every so often. It will pop up eventually].
Was this video taken at a pagan - I mean Presbyterian church service? Yikes! Orange County will be jealous!
ReplyDeleteTH2: If there was Zamfir music, then it was too traumatic for me to remember. But I do recall Buddhist gongs and huge, long poles with ribbons on the end, like in this video.
ReplyDeletePG: You mean the gigantic puppet Mass people? or the Halloween Mass people, with the priest dressing up like Barney the Dinosaur?
I think the skunks conveyed the meaning of the event.
ReplyDeleteJohn...you said in ten words what it took me a whole post to express!
