1-minute "worship service"

Saw this on Digg... It was posted with a caption saying, "now THAT is how you get people back into the church!"

:facepalm:

Lutheran?

But he'd make such a great Catholic Novus Ordo Priest. Not fair. The Proddies get all the fun 

[Bonaventure]

What a joke. The set up is almost identical to the NO.

Back in the 70s and 80s, the church that should be my parish had an old Irish priest who liked to drink a lot. He used to announce 49er scores from the pulpit.

That's the point. We have devolved ourselves into enough of a joke, that any seriousness is seen as banal idiocy. Hence the only 'hip' and 'cool' worships places are entertainment houses, ironic self-deprecating groups, or a mixture of the two (like seen here). The majority of folks see that as religion's place. As a farcical social club.

We cannot combat that with the NO... only with the TLM.

I would have a big problem with this if:

A) This was a Catholic Mass

or

B) The pastor was a Seahawk fan

[Kaesekopf]

Was this Pope Francis?  Much humility.  Such down-to-earth.  Wow.

But as Basilios said, he'd make a great NOer.  He even has the vestments!

[Archer]

I never saw anything quite that bad in the NO.  But I saw a lot that came close.  That just brought back a flood of memories.

This. At this point, I don't have any energy left to get upset over what Protestants do. I'm usually spending that energy getting upset when my priest does (most of) the same things.

HA. Reminds me of my parish in South Africa.

After every rugby game on Saturday he would stroll into Mass (I don't say that flippantly, his gait walking into the sanctuary can only be described as a stroll it was so informal) and the first thing he would say after the big smiley symbolic-at-this-point Sign of the Cross was: "BOKKE!"

The SA team are the Springboks, or Bokke for short. He would say that, smile some more, raise his fist and usually, I kid you not, say in a joking manner that we offer the celebration to thank God for the team.

This is what puts me off popular professional sports.  That utter w4nkers like this are so very obsessed with them.

Modernism...or awesome?

He recently died. I served a funeral for him as a kid. Mean, with a St. Bernard.
