Vincenzo is up to his old tricks again, with some flotsam from The Crescat.
O Lord….
…
I have nightmares like this.

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Dang it, I hate it when all the good vestments are at the cleaners!
I didn’t realize that some priests say mass in their pajamas, next time he should set his alarm earlier, and dress properly.
That is a picture of what PURGATORY looks like …
HELL would be the same vestments but the Ordinary Form of the Roman Missal with Sister Bunny Marie wearing an alb and scarf, with female dancers holding incense pots and the choir singing Kumbaya.
I find this pic, in the context of a depiction of Mass, kinda creepy. I understand when we show the real (unfortunate) thing but to manufacture the image… Same gut reaction I get to American flag beach towels etc.

Somehow, it doesn’t look as intolerable when the Mass is ad orientem.
The odd one out looks like a much travelled suitcase!
This looks like something that should be added to the list of things that won’t happen in 2008, on Hermeneutic of Continuity!
last time we have a mass at an opening of K Mart!
E-w-w-w-w! Brown clashes with the gold. Send that cretin back to Good Taste 101 at St. Flamer’s seminary.
Unfortunately, the deacon misunderstood the memo stating that it would be a “High Mass” and called up his old friend from his college dorm before vesting.
Serves this high Anglican parish right for not only inviting a Catholic priest to visit and serve as deacon, but letting him bring his own vestment.
Is this the “gravitational pull” of the OF on the EF that Fr. Z talks about? ;-)
ahhhh…..so THAT’S how the ordinary rite is supposed to enrichen the extraordinary rite! Now we know.
It looks like he might be missing a few of the secular advertisers – where’s
the rainbow flag touting gay rights – I question the man’s inclusiveness…
How long can this be allowed to continue?
In other news, the Vatican, it turns out, will issue a clarifying document:

What is the problem with that picture? It appears the other two do not match with the lovely brown one.
/sarcasm off
Andrew, OP
Fr Z,
No, your nightmare would be when your chasuble looked like the “vestment” on the right.
Are those Skateboard LOGOS??
He’s COOOOOL!!!
So, people are objecting to the ‘Gothic’ chasuble on the celebrant, yeah? ;)
This is a photoshopped picture isn’t it? I thought so when I first saw it, but after reading the comments, I’m not sure anymore…
John
Reminds me of a hat I saw at a craft fair once made of beer can labels.
That vestment reminds me of an abandoned car in my neighborhood growing up, all full of bumper stickers. I believed my brothers when they told me the bumper stickers were to meep the car from falling apart.
That’s really a sick looking dalmatic, if it’s not a joke.
But sadly I do know that there are places where you can get wacko vestments like this. UNfortunatly some priests (mostly past 60….the aging hippies of the Vatican II crowd) are the ones who go in for this.
I often wonder where the Roman Catholic Church got all this nonsense. Then I found by accident a website of the infamous Episcopal Church (USA) with pictures of the same type of junk…and worse.
Then it all came together. I know that the Roman Catholic Church discarded the Tridentine Latin Mass at Vatican II to be more like other Christian churches, so it only follows that at least in the USA, over the years we would copy all the weird stuff.
Looks very much like a Photoshop job – note the edges of the Dalmatic in question – just a little too sharply defined….
Irony, chaps….Irony
To John and Neil:
Do you really think this is photoshopped? Nah, Vincenzo would never stoop to anything as naughty as that! :.)
Did people really not read the text of the top entry?
This would look lovely in a camping-site-Mass
with a cardboard box for altar table.
Just goes to show how good Vincenzo is at what he does.
LOL, i don’t have more words to say. Just LOL!
Anna said it best!
