I miss so much being away on weekends! Like rank liturgical abuse!

One of the perils of being a weekday-only blogger – pretty much – is that sometimes explosive developments occur on weekends which I either entirely miss, or, when I do get to them, my commentary seems rather tardy.  That’s just one of the trade-offs I have to make, I am generally so busy with family-Church-chores on weekends that I just don’t have time to blog.

That does not mean I am completely out of the loop, however.  Via my wonderful wife, I was aware when a priest on Facebook showed the world that the feminized, protestantized, modernist, humanist deformations of the Mass that were so wildly popular in the 70s have not entirely gone the way of the dodo.  I refer of course to the video presentations made by Good Shepherd, ahem, Catholic Church in Menomonee Falls, WI, stalwart defenders of the liturgical nightmares unleashed by the corrupt homosexual bishop and Consilium adviser Rembert Weakland, showing how devastatingly poor an understanding of the Liturgy certain members of a certain generation still have:

Don’t you love how utterly matter of fact, proud, even, this man is of liturgical abuse and theological destruction?  Can his description of the Mass be described as even remotely Catholic?

Good Shepherd has now made this video private on Youtube, but what apparently most people haven’t discovered is that this sad parish has their own Youtube channel, and there are dozens of other videos uploaded.  These are mostly sanitized to remove many of the abuses/atrocities proclaimed by the deacon above as “brave new advances” (which is pathetic, they are actually 40 year old retread transgressions), but you can see below – if you can stand to watch – what a really modernist Novus Ordo looks, acts, and feels like.

For instance, in the Christmas Eve “homily” given by the now infamous deacon, the children are invited around the altar (naturally!), but the Gospel is delayed until after Deacon I’m a Star! gives his sage wisdom to the masses:

Wow.  What brilliance.  Let’s teach kids that Jesus Christ is just like Santa Claus, just another myth from your youth to be forgotten when you grow up.  Truly, this man is the 21st century heir of St. John Chrysostom.

They actually had a fairly full house at that Mass.  It appears that on many Sundays, they are averaging maybe 100 souls – probably a good deal less – at each of their two Masses:

Advance the video to about 3 minutes in and you’ll see the few lonely souls there in the pews comfy theater seats.

This “parish” in fact no longer has a priest assigned, it is now under the direction of the obviously heterodox Deacon “Sandy” and a female pastoral administrator.  You can find all this out at their parish website, along with the fact that attendance has been falling for years.  I don’t think this sad excuse for a parish is long for this world.

Parish Administrator

If you have time to waste, as we did Friday night, you can browse the many disturbing videos uploaded to the Good Shepherd Youtube channel.

This kind of garbage is still far, far too prevalent, but most pastors/deacons/lay women/whatever running parishes like this are generally smart enough not to broadcast themselves to the world as a salutary lesson in everything the Catholic Church should not be.  I would imagine Good Shepherd, the worldly sermons, the liturgical abuses, would even turn off all but the most liberal protestants.  As it plainly has most Catholics, or even Katholycs, given the pathetic attendance even on Sunday.

These places aren’t long for the world, but they continue to lead souls away from true faith in Jesus Christ.
