Vincenzo is up to his old tricks again, with some flotsam from The Crescat.
O Lord….

I have nightmares like this.

“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

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!
