Monday madness

A warning to the "clothes horse" Anglo-Papalists out there: What you see in the following video (by clicking the link below) is NOT cool. So, please don't ask where you can buy any of these get ups.

Fellini's Roma Church fashion show.

All strangely reminiscent of the Basilica of Disneyworld. Did I not see the Patriarch of the Magic Kingdom sitting enthroned?

So how is the different from the new Slabbinck catalog?

A friend of mine commented in email, "I noticed that there weren’t any crosses or other symbols of faith decorating the vestments." It was all laughs up till then. His point is interesting.

By the way, I assume the image & likeness of Pius XII at the end is aimed at a certain group of "Traditionalists."

Our parish has some extra wood and lighter fluid in case anyone needs it. You know, in case someone showed up looking like that in your parish!

Getting back into your old ways again I see Fr Hart. I had hopes that you were a reformed person.

On the one hand I was hoping that this came from some strange movie, then I realized that I hoped even Hollywood would not put out anything like this.

As each demented float passed by in this parade I saw elements of pop culture. The Obvious was of course the Flying Nun. Although the rollerskating Cardinals reminding me of the bad guys in an episode of a a horror show. The thing with the skeletons was more in tune with Pirates of the Caribbean. The mirrored Mitre seemed like something out of Sci-Fi.

I guess that now we know where some of the folks in TEC get those hideous vestments from.

Not reformed, but Reformed (as in Anglicans are Reformed Catholics).

Traditionalist Catholicism at its worst - not to mention the pagan apotheosis of Pius XII at the end.

The cardinal in the scene was a real look-alike of Cardinal Burke...

All copped, of course, from the New Liturgical Movement blog.

It was equally amusing that AFS1970 failed to recognize the undated version of vesture for prince assistants and took it for that of the cardinals.

We may all laugh and with good reason, but we should also realize that what is found in may Anglo-papalist parishes in the Continuum have a tendency to appear thus to many well instructed traditionalists. That we have all had a good laugh at this may allow to get behind Alexander Vi's Master of Ceremonies and his innovations in vesture and ceremonial.
