Ooompa-loompa-doompity-doo, I have another riddle for you. Ooompa-loompa-doompity-dee, If you are wise you'll listen to me:
What do you get when the Mass is a mess? priests wearing stoles like they're wearing a dress? Celebrants spinning while holding a book; Processionals made up all of kooks.
I don't like the look of it!
Ooompa-loompa-doompity da, If you're not stupid, you will go far. You will live in happiness, too, Like the trads and Oompa-loompities do!
I'm a R.C. and the clip was one of the worst Gospel processions I've ever seen!!
A couple of things I've picked up: When was it permitted for Altars to be replaced by tables? If the priesthood no longer has any self-respect, what hope that they will be respected? More importantly the Gospel; our Lord himself being paraded in such an unbefitting manner is an insult. The acclaimation should be solemn.
The video clip may not be from a R.C. Church, but an Anglican Church instead as indicated by the table on the sanctuary instead of the Altar.
To study and not think is a waste. To think and not study is dangerous.
Confucius
When I became Christian I voluntarily crucified my mind, and all the crosses that I bear have only been a source of joy for me. I have lost nothing, and gained everything.
Father Seraphim Rose
The knowledge of the Cross is concealed in the sufferings of the Cross.
St Issac the Syrian
Whatever you may be seeking, seek it with all your strength, but do not expect your own search and efforts to bear fruit of themselves. Put your trust in the Lord, ascribing nothing to yourself, and He will give you your heart's desire.
St Theophan the Recluse
A silent man is a son of wisdom and is always gaining great knowledge.
St John Climacus
We have heard enough of liberty and the rights of man; it is high time to hear something of the duties of men and the rights of authority.
