This is what happened after Mary I in became Queen of England. The Catholics were let back into the parishes that they had built and the disgruntled Protestant pastors, who were forced to leave, incited their flocks to action. They would do anything they could to interrupt the Mass.

They disrupted during the procession and the sermon, but most egregiously at the raising of the Eucharist just as this man did in the video. The parishioners and priests bitterly complained to their bishops and after nearly two years of this kind of relentless activity did the Church decide to act.

The bishops interviewed the disrupters to find out why they were doing it. They found out that the root of the problem was that the Protestant pastors were being upset at being ousted from what they considered their buildings.

Every person questioned were told that if they just promised to stop the disruptions they would be let go. This number was well over 1,500 people. All but about 200 or 300 remained adamant, and these were punished to the full extent the law allowed, for which Mary is now famous.

BTW - I am directly descended from Roland Taylor, one of those disrupting pastors.
