All-inclusive Liturgy
In 2008 C.E.
The following is perhaps the best description of post-modern Catholic liturgical funtions that I have ever read:
“Roger Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles enters to preside Pharoah-like over his diocese 2008 Religious Education Congress. I find this type of thing fascinating. It is liturgy shaped not by Tradition but by set-designers, choreographers, costume designers, lighting engineers. It is liturgy broken loose from any constraints, designed for “modern man”, to give instant satisfaction, a feel good factor. It is Catholicism submerged in the best of Evangelical Protestant worship, Catholicism drawn to a liberal extreme.” - Fr. Ray Blake
Fr. Blake also posted the video on his blog. He noted, “Cardinal Mahoney’s liturgical style, actually makes me feel physically sick…” I don’t like it either. View it here.
