A fairly recent atrocity is the "Tyme Mass" in London, England, during which the young danced in a night-club atmosphere, a young woman gave the homily and sesame-seed loaves were consecrated in ceramic bowls. This experiment had the approval of Cardinal Hume as "a means of attracting young people back to the Church." (cf. Christian Order, May, 1997, pp. 262-269). Since we've done away with silly traditions and superstitions like the Real Presence, a snack cracker, or whatever's handy can make a suitable substitute for the symbolic presence of Christ, right Cardinal? BTW, I'm partial to these....
Stock up, and I might stop by for "Mass".

Well, I might stop by for "mass" if they served Ring Dings. Sad, sad, sad state of affairs. I hope Pope Benedict XVI can put his house in order, especially the American wing. Care to join me in a short prayer of thanks for being Orthodox, Mr. K?? Granted, we have our share of troubles, but an image of Shiva? Oy!!!
