Sacrilegious “Mass” Scheduled in Brooklyn Diocese (Catholic Caucus)

We wish this was just a joke. It is not. It is pure sacrilege taking place in a parish in Brooklyn, New York. Not only does the Diocese of Brooklyn know about this abomination … it actually helped advertise it on facebook! The statement from the Diocese of Brooklyn says:

“On Sunday, Jan. 31, head down to St. Bernard’s Parish in Mill Basin for a very special treat: a #StarWars themes Mass! Kids come dressed as their favorite character and there will be snacks in the auditorium after the Mass. Be sure to be there at 11:30 AM and May the Force be with you!”

Since posting the announcement, a couple of Catholic blogs (Dumb Ox Writings and the Eponymous Flower) broke the story with articles on their websites and the diocesan ad suddenly disappeared. The Lepanto Institute called both the Diocese and St. Bernard of Clairvaux Church for clarification on the matter, but did not receive a call back. But despite the fact that the ad was removed from the diocesan facebook page, the sacrilegious “Mass” remains on the parish calendar.

These folks are clueless. They think they are being "hip and trendy" and will draw the kids in. The kids aren't that dumb. They rightly see the way they are being talked down to, and eventually decide to permanently stay away from that kind of shallowness.

The kids actually get it; it's the so-called adults who don't. Welcome to Catholic Progressivism 101.
