Inculturation, Inshmulturation!
Catholics need to get back in the habit of being CATHOLIC!
I recently came across some very interesting photos that are also very telling of just how urgently Catholics needs to get back in the business of being Catholic.
Below is a photo of a Holy Ghost Father in French Equatorial Africa celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of The Mass. Sacred, reverend, respectful... and so very, very Catholic.
Pictured below, we have a "African-American Culture Mass" here in America present day. Entertainment, irreverent, disrespectful... damn little "Catholic" about it at all.
I just have to ask... who's to blame for garbage like the "Polka Mass" or the "Hula Mass", or the "Black Culture Mass"? Just ask these three clowns... or are they witch doctors?
I read a posting by a gent of African lineage who stated concerning the "African American Culture Mass", words to the effect of "yes, I have rhythm, I also have a brain. I've read the works of great Catholic writers. I don't need Black Culture Mass to make me a Catholic".
By the way, The Holy Ghost Father in the top picture was ordained by Archbishop Marcel Lefevbre. Looks like the good archbishop might be on to something with this "Return To Tradition" stuff, huh?

That picture of the three guys with the feathers and facepaint seems to be a tad on the offensive side, and I don't think you will find anyone dressed like that for a real Mass in Africa. Great post!
Every faithful Catholic should approach or write a priest who is either involved in or allows these outrageous events. Go to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal to show proof of the violation and then say, "Who gave you the authority to do this?" The silence of Catholics is the real culprit here.
I think that simply boycotting the Novus Ordo would work. Just dont go to it. When you go to it, it shows you accept it. If all or most Catholic laymen stood in defence of tradition, this would be a done deal.
Gaufridus, do you consider all Novus Ordo Masses to be illicit?
