You just described the Mass.
cough! cough!....Oh Not Eveee-en Close!...In fact diametrically opposed....A parade of old men wearing dresses with music that sounds like a funeral is underway is NOT a victory parade...it's a death parade as Mass clearly depicts...I serve the risen Christ.
The Pope shuffling under an umbrella, held up by more guys in dresses... to put a goblet in a little box and bowing down before it is just plain nonsense IMO. Though I realize it makes catholics feel special. Did you ever look inside that little box....the one I saw they forgot to do the inside as the outside...nasty looking.
As you can see I don't at all buy into the catholic mass..in fact I see it as sacrilegious in every way. The Christ I serve has risen and is seated at the right hand of God.....and in no way did He drink his own blood and body the night He instituted we do this "In remembrance" of Him. Catholics really botched that up and then some. I've read all the scriptures and argument's concerning catholics position on mass and all the rituals practiced throughout it...if anything it convinced me all the more the catholic church is in serious error by this practice...and more.
