This Moment of Lunacy was Brought to you by The Second Vatican Council

Rorate Caeli has posted the 'Pre-Party Mass' in the Archiocese of Maringá, Brazil. The novel way of the entrance of the Gospel is quite interesting (1 minute into the video).


Contacted by a concerned Catholic by e-mail, the Archbishop of Maringá responded thus:

The pre-party masses are the mass of the Roman Ritual [sic] which all of us Roman Apostolic Catholics celebrate. It is just celebrated with certain symbols, dances, for young people... [sic]

No one needs to be scandalized by this... [sic]

God bless you!!

    But I am not a Roman Apostolic Catholic so I am still scandalized and offended.

    Oh, one other thing. No one should be surprised that Evangelical Protestantism is making great inroads in Brazil.

    None of this crap will happen when I get ordained.

    Sorry Your Excellency, this is cause for scandal, and not permitted in the rubrics for the Roman Missal.
