I will not watch it! A memory is seared, I tell ya, SEARED in my brain of a Christmas Midnight Mass a few years ago. Everything was going well till after Communion. In prances about 10 of our 8-9th grade girls. They are wearing what can best be described as a mini-toga. Skirts way too short, no stockings, bare feet. They proceed to put a BOOM BOX ON THE ALTAR and gyrate around for a while. I was aghast! How could any parent let their pubescent daughter parade around in church dressed like that? And the sick thing was, everyone thought it was great. I thought it was soft porn.

When exactly did the Mass become more about us, and less about Christ? I say take the “me” outta Mass! Let us all go there, be quiet, and pray. Enough of this attention seeking behaviour! I know, it’s how people with talent say they worship God....well, fine, let em worship like that in their living room!
rantiingly,
Emily Lattilla!! :)

Time to get up and walk right straight out the center aisle...and when you get home, call the bank and stop payment on the check you put in the basket,

You have my sympathy.Just as inappropriate, liturgical dancing done by Sister So and So, usually wearing a unitard.
By the way, the girls at the link I posted are dressed similarly to those in your story. Mind you, I wouldn’t let any of my daughters wear as underwear what the dancers wore at Mass.
