Could someone tell me who adapted Max Planck’s quote about science advancing “funeral by funeral”, and said the same thing about orthodoxy?

I suppose there’s some solace to be taken in the fact that these videos of CTA and Priestess conferences and the like don’t usually have too many young people. Usually just a sea of silver and grey. Maybe some of these issues will be solved… naturally.
 
You know those dogs you put in a car’s back window and when the car moves the dog’s head shakes? Well, I feel like one of those dogs, and the older I get the more I shake my head. I swear I’m going to turn into one of those dogs! 😛

:nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope:

Fr. Timothy Finnigan has been making fun of this all week on the “The Hermeneutic of Continuity” blog. Apparently, shortly after viewing this “Mr. Potato-head Mass” he went to dinner with another priest and anxiously eyed the bowl of potatoes, wondering if his friend planned on concelebrating Mass with one of them.

Considering the ages and practices contained herein, this could prove good material for a television series. We might call it:

“LOST… IN… THE SEVENTIES!”

I was waiting for them to offer communion from Pez dispensers.

Hey, I LIKE Pez! I’ll have cherry flavored communion, please. From my Pope Pez dispenser. You know, with Papal Pez, at least it comes on the tongue.

You don’t remember the JPII Pez dispensers then. I’ll see if I can find a photo of one in my webly travels.

Yup, its the garden of Eden all over again. Wanting to be GOd just like Adam and Eve did. Funny how history repeates itself.

The sad thing is they don’t even realize how poorly their music connects with younger Catholics. One thing that really causes them dispair is to see younger Catholics drawn towards traditionalism
 
That was just freaky!!! :eek: The age of the people attending the Mass doesn’t surprise me, most of them were young adults during the 60s. A generation that excelled in rebelling against authority.

It’s just SOOOOO appropriate that someone named “Super Grover” would post on this thread.

You know, a puppet mass just burns my blue fur. Now, a MUPPET mass I could get into.
Entrance hymn: Would of course be the Muppet Show Theme. “It’s time to get things started…”, played with a heavy ragtime jag.
Communion Hymn: It’s Not Easy Being Green, strummed gently on a guitar, sung by a dread locked deacon in ordinary time garb.
Exit Hymn: Me No Me Noh. With a cantor singing the Me No Me Noh part, and the congregation singing the Doo Doo De Doo Doo.
During Mass, Ernie and Bert would sit in the front pew holding hands, with many open-minded, knowing looks of approval being exchanged.
High Priestess Piggy would attempt to confect the Host.
The petitions would be largely self-congratulatory, thanking the Creator (Henson?) for making them so broad minded, and asking that others overcome their rule-bound, oppressively patriarchal ways. A special petitition would be offered from the congregation for help in centering their chakras (made more difficult for lack of point of reference in the Muppets’ unfortunate lack of belly button).

This is pretty funny. However, I hope CTA does not get hold of this idea. If they do, there will a thread just like this one next year and people will be looking for some guy named SuperGrover! 😛 :rotfl:

Actually, it kind of does ring a bell. I mean, they had Pope John Paul II khitch of all sorts. I was thinking that there probably was Pope Pez. Hmm… that would be a good name for a Pope.
 
I am so glad we can bring a little humor to this travesty. Better to laugh than shake our fists in the air. 🙂
