Yes I'm a traditionalist Catholic and here's part of the reason...
This is right out of “South Park”.
Having bad flashbacks to the “liturgical dances” that were sprung on us during Mass in the 1980’s.
Perhaps. But, no one can touch Catholic priests when it comes to boy-buggery.
I'm sure they were all properly catechised.

Ah, all that Biblical dancing troubles some who know no joy!
The Church and the Papacy have come to this?
Why yes, yes it has. Because it's so much more important to be hip these days.

About the Ridiculous “Novena Solene” Video

Why must you do this?
What good does this act do for Jesus?
Is anything here sinful, gravely?
Examine your conscience.
Why are you outside God’s Church? How are you any more obedient to God and His Church than ANY protestant group of even anti-biblical standing?
Do these men not love Jesus more than....well, not as much as you obviously.
At least the Bible blesses dancing when it is done for the glory of God.
See the posting about dancing done during worship that is found in the Bible. It is blessed.
Apparently not all catholics are good at the rhythm method
; )
Blessed, you think? Always? Like Moses finding the Jews dancing in front of a golden calf.
By the way, the yutes in Rio and the mindless bishops they were leading, were practicing for a flash mob performance for Pope Francis, not God.
Where in the New Testament did the first apostles, led by a bunch of yutes, dance like fools for St. Peter, the first Pope?
P.S. Approved polygamy is also found in the Bible.
I repeat, to the best of my knowledge I have never been in the same room with a Catholic bishop. However, would have been honored to have broken bread with Archbishop Lefebvre and a number of others, living or deceased.
See post 6 there is a listing of Bible passages that blesses holy dancing.
So what is your complaint then?
golden calf, Pope Francis: neither is God.
Now do you understand?
“At least the Bible blesses dancing when it is done for the glory of God.”
Indeed!
See post number 6. You have been corrected.
And that is what was going on, ONLY for the glory of God.
