This is the second time I’ve left a parish. It had been getting a little odd sometimes ever since a younger priest took over.

Now, just this past Sunday, I witnessed my first clown mass.

No, I’m not kidding. Clowns. Three of them, having a mock picknick by the altar after the Gospel. There was even some quasi circus music to go with it from the guy on the electric keyboard.

Once again, no, I’m not kidding. I even took two pictures with my cell phone camera and as soon as my wife can find the usb cord to connect it to the computer, I’ll put them on photobucket to share.

What is wrong with people? You know being a priest doesn’t mean you’re to act like a liturgical carnival barker, right Father?

Sorry, I’m still seriously disappointed. There was no reason to do it. No good reason at all. You know, at one time I used to think the traditionalists made up the whole idea of clowns at mass to scare people into their group. Looks like they might have been something to what they said.

Is it too much to ask for a *$&% normal parish???!!

I don’t normally think people should be writing to the Bishop over every little oddity that happens at Mass, but I think this is a serious abuse and should be reported, for the good of the parish. And keep your pictures. This is rather appalling.
