This is worse, MUCH worse, than just a liturgical dance. I don't think there is a name in the books for this type of gaucherie.
Are these Catholics? How does one become a part of this and still retain their dignity, much less any sense of sound, liturgical practice? I’m not one of these ultra-trad Catholics that borders on a fundamentalist methodology, but this is soooooo ridiculous I can’t even quantify it.
the dance moves always seem the same with lots of twirling to and fro and back and forth. Who choreographs these knock-kneed Lolitas jumping up and down in the sanctuary? Except for the testosterone impaired man of colour swinging about the smoking purse.
And yes, these liturgical absurdities are not demographically supported and I suspect withing 5 years we will not be seeing much of this as it will go to ash and dust. Reminds me of activity time at a nursing home.
Several thoughts went through my mind during the 5:22 minutes of my life that I will never get back.
1) WTF?!
2) WHY?????
3) Can't that man with the thurible smack the obnoxious geriatric liturgical dancer in the head and put us out of our misery.
4) Oh look! - the statues of Easter Island have come to life!
5) Terry - I would have got 5:22 minutes off purgatory thanks to this but so many foul thoughts ran through my mind that I probably just got 5:22 minutes MORE!

Ahhh - The Creator, the Redeemer, and the Sanctifier. Wonder how many invalid baptisms that clown of a priest perform???

Oh my Lord.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have nightmares for a week.
Not about the dancing - that puppet is like something out of a horror movie.
Thanks, Ter.
