Cherie Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 If you had to choose between a Saturday evening Vigil Mass that is more quiet and traditionally-minded (for a typical USA parish, that is) or a Sunday Mass that has drums beating, guitars strumming, and clapping ... which would you choose?

Archaeology cat Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Probably the vigil, even though I prefer going on Sunday. While I started going to 8.00 Mass because of morning sickness issues with Charlotte, I kept going because I enjoyed the fact that there wasn't music (the music alternative was more erm contemporary than my liking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] My family has always gone on Saturdays. My mother hates waking up early. I don't care either way, really, so long as there is no terrible liturgical rock music and clapping. I've been to Masses where people have clapped to the music. It inspired me to slap someone else's skin with my hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I would give the Sunday a chance first. If the drums, clapping and guitars were all still able to be done in the spirit of worship that's fine with me. If it is more the spirit of entertainment in the mass...then I'll take the vigil.

Papist Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Vigil. I don't like rolling my eyes and shaking my head during mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Normile Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 The vigil. Its hard to focus on the mass when I keep thinking things like, this is not reverant, this is not allowed during the celebration of the mass. I really detest when a priest will say something like, " lets give a hand to the band for that great performance" which I have seen far too many times, makes me feel like I was at a bar with a band instead of at mass. ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dUSt Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 If I knew there would be drums, guitars and clapping, I would not go, unless it was the only possible option within driving distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmenchristi Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 If they were played well, I might survive the guitars (without [i]too [/i]much eyeball rolling) but the drums ans clapping would drive me [i]crazy[/i]! I would take that Sat. vigil any day over that! Otherwise I'd most likely drive to another town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) I would go to the shameful Rock concert if there were no other option, but all I would be able to think is "For goodness' sake. Is that what you call vibrato?" and, "Seriously? You didn't even have the decency of using a Marshall amp?" and my prized gem "Would you like some liturgy with your Rock concert?"
