If people are buying tickets to see this, I don’t see what the problem is.

Technically it would be a problem in a Catholic Church, but technicalities seldom stop priests, almost never stop Bishops, and are strictly optional, apparently, for the present Pope.

While I do have Baptists, including ministers on both sides, I doubt many of them would have a problem with it, with one exception. My (grandfather’s) great Uncle Wiley, a Baptist minister, was asked during the 30’s whether people were getting better or worse. He observed that when he first started preaching, there was a problem with young men riding their horses into church, but that hadn’t happened in a very long time (many decades) so he guessed they were getting better.

I bet he would see it as regression. I imagine he also might think a little about conspicuous consumption as that side of the family was poor as Church mice for basically forever.
