Brother, what you are telling me is that the Cathoplic laity are sheep and that the clergy can do whatever they want. They didn't know the clown Mass was wrong?

What I wrote had nothing to do with Clown Mass,a total horrific abuse!

You know better to use such an abuse that we condemn as well.

Orthodox churches are not immune from abuse either,dear Kosta!

“Orthodox churches are not immune from abuse either,dear Kosta!”

Indeed, as Kosta pointed out, a priest in Serbia attempted to say the closing prayers of the liturgy facing the people instead of facing towards the cross inside the altar. Of course he was soundly condemned for it by the parishioners. In Russia once a priest “married” two men. He was defrocked and the church torn down. Then there was Archbishop Spyridon whose whole tenure here was an oppressive abuse; we got rid of him. He’s not serving anywhere anymore.

But no clown masses, no “Eucharettes” and no nuns in pantsuits, at least not yet.

I used clown "Mass" as the least offensive example of the obvious, being mindful how hurtful it is for you guys. All other stuff that is out there is much worse.

As Kolo relayed to you, the Serbian faithful physically accosted a priest for not turning the right way, for facing the people instead of the Cross during the Ambo Prayer. Can you imagine something similar in the Catholic churches when people accepted clowns, and what not, in sheepish obedience?
