Yet Another Motu Proprio?

[KnightofChrist]

Pope Benedict the XVI will soon release a moto proprio permitting the celebration of the Novus Ordo Mass without liturgical abuses, CWN has learned.

[color="#8B0000"]The 1-page document, accompanied by a 50-page explanatory letter[/color], will allow individual priests to celebrate the Mass of 1969 according to the revised General Instruction for the Roman Missal. Bishop Ronald Mackerelperson criticized the relaxed rules that will permit the lawful celebration of the Novus Ordo. In a prepared statement, Mackerelperson said that the Holy See is overlooking the pastoral benefits of liturgical abuse. "When I see Mother Superior of the Erie Benedictine nuns in a polyester leotard performing a liturgical dance, I ask myself what could make the liturgy more relevant to Johnsonville brat and Jane in the pews," he said.

Mackerelperson said that as a result of this kind of liturgical expertise on the part of the Benedictine nuns, he has appointed nuns as permanent administrators of most of the parishes in his diocese. The bishop predicted "pastoral chaos" if the liturgical abuse is outlawed. "Liturgy must be accessible to the young people and giving unregulated permission to priests to celebrate Mass according to the rubrics should not be tolerated," he complained.

Bishop Mackerelperson added the proposed motu proprio, if it is issued in the form being discussed by Vatican-watchers, would "disrupt years of careful liturgical training of priests and laity."

Well, if Masses that are in accord with the GIRM and rubrics and don't contain abuses are "chaos" then THANK GOD FOR CHAOS! Lets get disrupting. :

And what the heck are the pastoral benefits of liturgical abuse? By leaving leotarded nuns in charge he can take a longer vacation?

Oh its just some silly parody...

Bishop Mackerelperson does not infact exist.

Well poo. Now I feel silly. I was totally excited (although the idea of relaxed rules for the NO seemed a little weird... I almost did a search for Bishop Mackerelperson because I'd never heard of him).

I'm a maroon. Can I use the fact that I was up until 4 am and then woke again at 7:30 as an excuse? lol

Nevermind... I do not want to get into a big discussion about why I think this is unfair.

In my experience, that is rarely the case. For every Sudanese dance I have seen, I have seen 5 different occasions of teens dancing up and down aisle during Mass.
