Catholic Bishops plan a politically correct travesty of the Mass for 'Youth Sunday’
Click to expand...
The Catholic Bishops of England and Wales are planning a “Youth Sunday” next month which is so politically correct, patronising and biased to the Left that it is beyond satire. It is also beyond Catholicism, playing barbarous tricks with the liturgy that break the Church’s rules governing the celebration of Mass.

Among the highlights: • A “litany of penance” that asks God’s forgiveness “For over-filling our kettles” and “For wasting paper”
• A prayer “that the tyranny of profit be quelled”
• The distribution at Mass of Fairtrade chocolates wrapped in paper carrying an exhortation to switch to energy-saving lightbulbs
• Persuading the priest to wear a chasuble stitched together from recycled material

See what I mean about being beyond satire? “Youth Sunday”, on 23 November, is devised by environmental ideologues and climate-change activists well to the Left of the political spectrum - but funded, needless to say, by ordinary churchgoers. Most Catholics in their teens and twenties are sick to the back teeth of this sort of drivel, but I’d be surprised if many of the Church employees running this stunt were actually young.

You have to be kidding me…looking at the website, they have a script for a SKETCH to be acted out after the Gospel…wow…
 
This sounds incredibly corny :rolleyes:

I don’t see anything that objectionable otherwise though. I don’t think being cheesy is a sin, is it? :rolleyes:
 
The web page has this note:
It is not envisaged that you try every single idea – be selective and discerning! It can be more effective to just highlight one or two aspects of the liturgy, rather than try to animate every single part. Be realistic and choose what is appropriate to your community.

You know I am really saddened to hear what is happening in England, it is happening in Scotland also, I come from Scotland
(Edinburgh) and when I hear and read of this stuff I am sad! I now live in US.
