Liturgical Dance..with the Eucharist
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRULNTperWE
I think this is objectively horrendous and awful and so insulting to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
The Priest looks absolutely ridiculous; it's almost painful to watch when he then picks up the monstrance and starts dancing around with it.
I had seen it a couple of month ago, but laurathecrazymama recently posted it on her site and I was reminded of it.
I put it on here because if you go click 'youtube' in the bottom right of the video screen, and go to the corresponding youtube page, there is a pretty impressive conversation going on about this. I was surprsied at how many thousands of people thought that this was a horrible sacrilege.
It always makes me happy when I discover that there are lots of people out there who do love Jesus and want to live as His Church teaches!!

Sorry, I could only watch about 10 seconds before having to turn that feed off in pure physical disgust.
This raises an interesting theological question, I think. Is it really a sin to burn at the stake people involved in and instigating such abominations?
I've seen it before and had several Catholics actually praise it!! Unfortunately, the heresy of modernism is alive and spreading among the faithful including those involved with this video. We must pray for an end to modernism and the allowance of such traditions as the Tridentine Mass.
That is indeed Sacriligious. It gets just worse and worse as the video goes on. But at least the Priest uses a humoral veil. All things considered, I wouldn't have expected that etiquette to be followed!
This is sadly what comes from 'inculturation' of our divine liturgy. An absolute shambles.
I have not seen anything like this before. It's strange.
How awful!!! Makes me want to shake those people! Do they even realize that that is JESUS???
Antonia...could you add the url link, as I can't see YouTube vids on blogs for some reason (although it sounds like I may live to regret asking this!)
Much obliged,

um... weird. even regardless of how irreverent it is, it just looks stupid and classless. i dont think id be able to remain inside that church with something like that going on.
I kinda feel sorry for them...
But I feel it's wrong to be judgemental of them as people. I mean, we may not like what they've done to the Liturgy, point taken, but there's no doubt they love Jesus, it's just their way of expressing it which has fallen short of the mark.
But try to remember, we all fall short of the mark, and our everyday lives make mockery of Christ when we sin, or when we judge our brothers and sisters...Jesus had a lot to say about that.
So, we don't have to like it...we can be verbal about our thoughts...but lets always hold our brothers and sisters in compassion, and not be the first to cast stones.
Just my thoughts...
Never seen it before and I'm shocked! this is just awful.
"there's no doubt they love Jesus"
Not wanting to be a pain here, but isn't that just as much judgemental as someone saying they don't love Him? Your point that we mustn't judge them as people must cut both ways, surely? Inasmuch as we don't have the data (nor, by a long shot, the authority) to say that they don't love Him, nor do we have anything like data to say that we do. The YouTube feed is pretty much all the data we have.
So while we can condemn the silly actions (or praise them as being pioneering, depending on what fumes we've been inhaling today) I'm not convinced it's a good idea enter the arena of saying X about these people's intentions, as we simply cannot know from the available info.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
La La La La La Lai Lai Lai...
Give me the a benediction done at any of the English Oratories anyday!
We had 'liturgical dancing' in my former parish. Young girls wore sheets of different colours(roman style) and with streamers they 'pranced around the Altar'! It looked exactly what it IS..a roman pagain rite! Noone in my parish was impressed!
Remember the Mass is The Sacrifice, when did Mary the Mother of God, the other Mary's and St. John dance around Jesus as He was Crucified? Anyone?
Why dont this lot just hire the Wiggles next time?
It IS a disgrace and EVERYONE should be VOCAL about their disapproval of something that is blasphemous and obscene!
Yours in Christ,
Marie
Yes, I believe this is a horrible sacrilege. O course we cannot judge their souls, but we can judge their actions. Their actions are against the teaching of our church. They are disobedient to Jesus himself by being disobedent and disloyal to his church. They want to feel good by doing their own thing inspite of what the church tells them. I'm sure they love God, but it looks like they love themselves more. Pray for them and the Priest. They have much to answer for. We all do, some more than others. Lord have Mercy on us all. Send your Holy Spirt to guide us.
