The
"New Mass" in all its Glory
CIRCUS "MASS"
The irony in the captions below will help bring home the absurdity of it all...
The altar has been set for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Here the priest humbly ascends the foot of the altar to render to Almighty God the propitiatory Sacrifice of Calvary. Time stands still as the Greatest Mystery on earth is about to be performed in...a circus tent! The choir intones the sacred chants to facilitate the silent and reverent worship of the people gathered before God's holy altar, using electric guitars and profane drums. The priest prays the Collect to petition Almighty God, wearing the fitting sacred symbols of ferris wheel and carousel on the stole--probably for the feast of St. Bozo I. In preparation to offer the Spotless Sacrifice to the Most Holy Trinity on this fitting elephant stool, certainly surrounded by the pleasing odor of elephant dung, the priest begs God to forgive the sins of His people and to receive their fitting adoration. Reverent silence at the most sacred moment of this propitiatory Sacrifice.... All kneel reverently in profound adoration and with the greatest humility before the Adorable Sacrament of the Altar. The Holy Communion hosts are perfectly spread out on the elephant stool, since they are truly and literally the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, who is God. This is why nothing less than an elephant stool will do. (Alright, we really can't figure this one out.) Concluding Note:
The Novus Ordo Church claims that their New Mass is their highest and holiest act of worship. We do not wish to know what their lesser acts of worship look like....Fair Use Notice:
