Liturgical Nymphs

Posted on 4:18 PM by Unknown


My good friend, the formidable Fr Z, has just posted this as his  Reason #4549 for Summorum Pontificum, normally I just get angry at this type nonsense but this just made me laugh.

Looking at the massed flower arrangements one can understand there is a certain need to alleviate the brutal barrenness and inhumanity of "the liturgical space", or church, as some people still call it, just to introduce something to alleviate its monotony.
I am beginning to wonder whether 'dance' is introduced into modern liturgy for the same purpose. Because modern liturgy is brutal and monotonous and inhuman, like the architecture from the same period.

Why do some people obviously need this kind of candy?
