This is taken from their Parish newsletter on their web site from the week before Halloween …

Let your inner child come out to play…
For those newly arrived at Corpus Christi since last October 31st you may not be aware of our most wonderful celebration of Halloween on the weekend PRIOR to October 31st…which this year will be NEXT weekend, October 28-29. In anticipation of All Hallows Eve parishioners are invited to come to Mass in costume (yep…that means adults AND kids). In addition, families/individuals are invited to carve a family Fred-O’Lantern (related to Jack but a lot more fun) for placement around the altar. Special treats (and very few tricks) will be available to the young and young at heart at all the Masses.
In addition, let the wondering and guessing begin as to who or what FKB will become at the end of Mass; final clue: I love you, you love me. While some church communities scare their members with silly talk of Halloween being devil worship and other such nonsense, we Catholic-Christians
understand that All Hallows Eve is the EVE of All Saint’s Day, an autumn celebration that honors our spiritual heritage. Secure in our knowledge of Jesus’ resurrection we are able to poke fun at the things that used to scare us and see them for the empty threats they always were. Our God is
not threatened by carved vegetables; rather, he delights in a parish family that comes together in worship, fun and frolic.

The intention is good; however, how the way they went about it is not. I think it would’ve been better if they had a lecture or talk about Halloween, if that’s their purpose for having something like this, rather than make the Mass seem like a costume party, which drives out the holiness and sanctity of the Mass.
 
The intention is not good. How can it be? We’re talking major abuse, not some fancy dress party for kids that just happened to spill out into the sanctuary.

It is a flagrant disregard for Redemptionis Sacramentum too. Where’s the good intention in all that?

Where was the Intention of the Priest to do what the Church intends in offering Holy Mass? As for the Form, well, less said the better.

I’m talking about their intention of showing that Halloween should not be feared; if that’s their goal, then a series of talks about it would’ve served the purpose, not make the Mass into a costume party.
 
Our Bishop is 66 years old. He refuses a TLM and does not support homeschooling. He seems a nice enough man. Just wish he was more traditional.

I don’t understand how anyone could not :eek: at the sight of someone dressed as Satan handling our Lord?? Are they completly spiritually bankrupt or are they just that STUPID?

Gosh, why didn’t they dress up as Abortion Providers… they could’ve had a mangled baby hanging out of their pocket. Why not dress as Hitler? OOOOH… maybe someone could’ve dressed up as Judas… in between passing out the host, they could’ve jingled some pieces of silver. Then there’s always the old standby… the pregnant nun costume. That would’ve been good for a few laughs.

Pathetic.

I agree Carol. How could they not know? How did this happen? How long can we make excuses for the guy in the pew who claims ignorance?

I say dont let the door hit them in the bum.

Wheat and chaff. Lets clean up.
 
Everyone here should realize that in most places in the US, a priest would be called to the Chancery and disciplined within 24-48 hours for celebrating according to the 1962 Missal without episcopal permission.

But this travesty will not be disciplined. Not by Tod Brown. Not by the Apostolic Nuncio. Not by the USCCB. Not by anybody.
 
Off point a bit here, but Bones IV, could you remember to post this again next year in advance of Halloween to remind us all at CAF about this and then we can even see by then if the status of these persons have changed or not since this travesty.

I think we need to keep vigilant eyes on these gross violations.

Everyone will forget by next week let alone next year.

Thanks for the wake up call. Its a bitter pill to swallow, but we must not get used to this type of horror and become desensitized to it.

True. The real traditionalists are not the problem. They’re the ones in the Church, working with the conservative Catholics to bring sanity back into the parts of the Church that are out there.

The fake ones (like SSPX, SSPV, and other schismatic groups) are a problem, though.

For the love of Pete… get it through your thick skulls… .you would NOT have the “indult” if it were not for the Traditionalists Societies and independant Traditional Catholic Priests.

One thing we should point out though is that the “abuses” such as the ones on this holloween mass video, as bad as they are, don’t begin to compare with those of the Pre-Vatican II years as pointed out on several recent Catholic Answers radio programs. For instance, CA guests have pointed out that in pre-Novus Ordo days, some priests actually rushed through the mass… I know … sit down and breath … and they said that sometimes two separate Masses were being said at the same time in one Church…I can’t go on… Oh shame of it… Thank goodness the abuses today don’t compare with those… whew…
 
Just wait until there is a universal indult. The abuses then will be many. And don’t think that only the pure of heart will want an indult. Some of the “gay Catholics” in our area love it. They consider it artsy, I guess, but it is devoid of meaning to them just as the Novus Ordo. I still hope it’s allowed but I do think some will be freaked out about what happens to it. 😦

Very drole 🙂 :rolleyes:
 
:banghead: “In poor taste” and “sacrilege” don’t begin to cover it.:crying: I only hope it does not result in a parody of a certain Charlie Daniels song, something along the lines of “the Devil Went Down to Orange County- and Stayed”.
 
The woman in the photo with the pink hair handing out Holy Communion may be a partial traditionalist. She has a partial covering of her head. Two to be exact.
 
How far do you think any of the Pre-Vat II Popes would have booted the guy who was, for at least part of the video, dressed as a Priest?
