did you see all the other recordings of the masses? watch the one where a priest dresses up in a barney costume and blesses the people with the barney song.............

What is the point of posting stuff like this? Is it just so we watch it and feel superior to this priest and this congregation because we would [i]never[/i] do this? I am just wondering how this -- and the plethora of similar videos that have been posted recently -- is at all beneficial for us to watch.

I don't see much point in watching a Mass done wrong, and many reasons to watch one done right.

I agree.

Posting this stuff so that people are shocked. Shocked! doesn't seem to be a worthwhile endeavor at all. Methinks it smells of taking the speck out of our brothers' eyes while ignoring the logs in our own eyes.

i see what you're saying, and it is depressing. :ohno: but, i know lots of catholics who are ignorant of these things. all but 2 (or maybe 3) parishes in houston do not mention anything going on in the world. areas that need to be discussed... catholics should not be ignorant of stuff like this, but they are. and i am not doing this to feel [i]superior[/i] to the priests. i would not like to be superior to priests... :huh:

yes, they are shocked, and they shouldn't be. we need to know about these things, so that first and FOREMOST, we can pray for the changes to happen soon.

It's gossip, pure and simple. Showing stuff like this is no different than me talking about my neighbor and her shocking :shock: behavior with the pool boy.

However, if this is happening in your parish and you don't know any better, hearing someone SAY its offensive or contrary to church law MIGHT wake you up a bit.

If I want to see my neighbor stop messing with the pool boy, I go talk to her and tell her it's wrong. I shouldn't go to the whole neighborhood and talk about how shocked I am by her untoward behavior. I go to the source so as to effect real change.

Look, gossip is something I struggle with a lot, and because I struggle with it I know all the justifications for it, even though it's much easier to recognize in someone else than in yourself. "Please pray for this situation" or "I need advice here" can all to often be covers for what is underneath an ugly thing, which in the end does not promote healing and wholeness but instead tears people down.
