We welcome our new giant puppet overlords!

Change!

What is it with the giant puppets? Compensation for a lack of turnout?

It's the Big Giant Head!

Meanwhile in a fictional part of Texas:

Raptor Jesus is not amused.

Frankly, I'm less creeped out by the puppet heads than I am by the leaping, gavotting and pirouetting.

Creepy!

PURGE!

"Hey! Who's that guy with the Big Head?"

/TV's Frank

My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

The muthaship has you...

I'm pretty sure I saw those dancers at a Grateful Dead concert 30-years ago.

When did people start confusing "worship" and "geriatric mambo class?"

re: #11 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

I thought it was Barack Obama!

This is the sort of thing that makes me glad I'm an Orthodox Christian.

>Laughs hysterically.

Gotta go out.

Bye.

Has it been pulled? I get a message that the video is no longer available.

re: #17 buzzsawmonkey

Sometime after Vatican II.

Dancing in church?

Dancing in church?

Where are the snakes?

Simon Cowell: "You people suck!"

I don't have the right to not be offended so I stopped it.

wtf?!

Oh dear heavens! I am sorely afraid that I would be extremely hard put to keep a straight face if I had to sit through that.

Lots of good comments at the link.

Not pulled.

Did that come out right?

Oh my gosh.

re: #1 SpaceJesus

TalklinKamel confused too!

>But still laughing hysterically.

Ahem. . . ah heeee. . . chort, snurgle, snicker. . .. heh! (Okay, I can write now). One problem in a lot of parishes, Catholic, Episcopal or just plain moonbatty, is that the guiter mass singers, liturgical dancers, etc., are the ones who really, REALLY want this stuff, because it gives them a chance to show off. (Just watch the couple, capering up and down the aisles, sprinkling water on everybody. It's all-too-obvious they're enjoying everyone's attention being focused on them.) Therefore, they lobby for istuff like this constantly, make trouble if they don't get it, and, when they do get it, they claim that it was a resounding success, even if half the congregation got up and walked out.

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!

Uninstall Google download accellerator.

Well. That's got to be pert' near the weirdest thing I've seen in a while.

But what is an 'Episcopalian black ops unit'? And what would its purpose be, in this case...?

re: #28 galloping granny

Oh dear heavens! I am sorely afraid that I would be extremely hard put to keep a straight face if I had to sit through that.

Look at the people in the pews. The older ones are trying hard not to laugh. Or throw up.

re: #31 MandyManners

Did that come out right?

It depends on what the hell you were trying to say. You lost me.

Doesn't look anything like any Catholic mass I've been to. More like Episcopal with all the new agey dancing and gallavanding. The puppets? I'm speechless. WTF?

re: #28 galloping granny

You're braver than I am...I would've left ASAP as soon as I saw the Mardi Gras costumes...

Bingo.

Can I get a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot from the congregation?

Fly free, little Moonbat! Fly free!

let's dance....village of the giants

Hey, I remember one Episcopal priest who wanted to make the solemn, Holy Thursday soup supper into a Tiki Hawaiian thing, with flaming torches. He also wanted to charge everybody $15.00 a head to participate. (It had been free, before.)

"progressives" (why is it I feel that word should be "regressive"?) have invaded the RC like they're trying to invade the UMC. Unfortunately it seems that all the loons are gravitating towards the ecuminical churches...

re: #34 jcm

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!

re: #18 TalkinKamel

This is the sort of thing that makes me glad I'm an Orthodox Christian.

indeed, same here. :)

I wonder if they consider Jesus to be Episcopalestinian.

Listen to them clap on one and three.

Gee. In my church you get glaring looks for rustling your bulletin. This stuff would send people to the ledges.

With or without a dramatization of a virgin being thrown into flaming volcano?

Spilled the Wine

Nice hymn though. Too bad they ruined it.

That was more frightening than

MacGregor, can you see his chute? Over.

Is that you I see in the third pew, Mama Winger?

Never thought I'd say this, but: Suddenly I'm getting in touch with my inner Opus Dei member.

Reminds of an old joke.

Cannibal tribe had a good week. They'd come across a bunch of Catholics and had a fine meal. Later they got some Episcopalians. The some Mormons, and finally a group of Jehovah's Witnesses.

After all the feasting the went into the woods and had a Ecumenical Movement.

It does not compute.

re: #37 mama winger

Let me get my glasses :)

re: #36 Cognito

It's purpose is to make Catholics laugh themselves to death at silly shows such as this, thereby fulfilling their nefarious plan of taking over the Catholic church, and using its empty buildings for Episcopal gambling casinos, and giant puppet factories.

(You can always tell an Episcopal black ops; they dress like the men in black, except they wear Roman collars. They also tend to break out into liturgical dancing, when they think nobody's looking.)

Way too weird for me

I'm a Trappist, Thomas Merton kind of guy.

it looks as though they've taken over an unsuspecting old folks home with their censer-swinging, Book of G'Kwon-thumping, badly out of tune antics.

re: #51 haakondahl

Listen to them clap on one and three.

Are these folks left, right, or none brained?

re: #58 OldLineTexan

MacGregor, can you see his chute? Over.

On the ground, surrounded by moonbats. Is ResCap inbound?

Of my church I mean, Mama Winger.

I feel ashamed any time I try to remove a little red-and-white mint from its cellophane wrapper. Sounds like the sky is tearing open.

Just because I don't get it doesn't mean it's not funny. What the hell is this?

re: #60 Occasional Reader

Never thought I'd say this, but: Suddenly I'm getting in touch with my inner Opus Dei member.

yeah, I was just thinking what an interesting juxtaposition of the above video and, say, a Latin Mass. :)

re: #39 NoSubmission

I know the Catholics and the Orthodox have discussed becoming reunified; ain't gonna happen, if the Catholics keep doing stuff like this. . .

re: #38 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

It depends on what the hell you were trying to say. You lost me.

My job here is done!

I am confused but amused.

re: #8 buzzsawmonkey

Frankly, I'm less creeped out by the puppet heads than I am by the leaping, gavotting and pirouetting.

This is from the end of the video - It creeps me out also..

And may the spirit fill our every day lives with joy and peace and forgiveness throughout our existence and may we bless ourselves in the name of the creator, the redeemer and the sanctifier.

What with the Giant "Peter Tosh" Puppets?

re: #58 OldLineTexan

I've got eyes! We'll need to extract before the head expanding procedure!

A progressive Catholic group named “Call to Action” (which may actually be an Episcopalian black ops unit) gives us our creepy groovy giant puppet video of the day.

/hmm, wonder where they got that idea from?

re: #42 lawhawk

Can I get a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot from the congregation?

Oh Hell Yes. because there won't be any 'Amens' any time woon.

WTF?!?!

re: #59 Cognito

Is that you I see in the third pew, Mama Winger?

No -I would never sit that far up. I'm on the left, fourth row from the back. Towards the wall .

I've been to some Masses that were pretty screwy, including one at this parish, with something like conga music for the Allelujah right before the Gospel reading (wtf?). It was all I could to keep from walking out.

re: #49 Vergeltung

Hiya, fellow Orthodox!

re: #38 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

Okay. Lemme' think. I don't have the right to remain unoffended so I chose to stop the video. If I were a Muslim who was watching a video that offended my sensibilities, I just might demand that Charles pull it.

re: #60 Occasional Reader

You worship a cartoon penguin?

re: #8 buzzsawmonkey

Oh, yes! Me, too!

Whenever churches start doing that, it's always painful.

re: #80 mama winger

I always sit in the far far back

The Catholic Church went to these progressive cretins after they stopped using Latin.
With the Priest bantering in Latin all you had to do was sit back and enjoy the same old show that had been played for a thousand years, maybe a little incence, a well rehearse choir. No thinking about anything, the priest was in charge.

So I assume the giant Rasta puppet is "black Jesus"?

re: #70 Killgore Trout

Just because I don't get it doesn't mean it's not funny. What the hell is this?

It's not funny.

Well that's a faith-killer right there.
I think the interpretive dance-and-drizzle had more creep value than the Mardi-gras rastafari!

re: #70 Killgore Trout

He didn't talk about virgins and volcanoes that year, but I'm sure it was coming eventually.

(I left before it did.)

re: #88 Occasional Reader

I think you've already taken it one or two layers of thought deeper than the puppet makers themselves....

re: #83 MandyManners

re: #75 Dolphin

It's a self-service service!

WTF?!?

re: #86 Ojoe

I hate talking to people after church. I just want to get out. FAST. lol

I grew up in the Episcopal church. I never seen anything like that. I haven't been in an Episcopal church in years. Maybe things have changed.

re: #96 buzzsawmonkey

Yep, you got it!

They must be half of Rev. Wright's performance troop, the other half being "White Devil"

re: #96 buzzsawmonkey,

Not so much Opus Dei as just Opus and Bill the Cat.

BWONGGG!!!!!!

Don't ya just love the dancing lady? WTF

re: #41 mama winger

No. Bingo is in the basement after... :o)

That's some serious Catholic guilt.

First guitars, now this. What's next?

In the 60's my uncles used to joke about the 'God is groovy' people.. Well, this just isn't funny.

It's times like this that I wish YouTube wasn't blocked at work. Or at least wish that YouTube had some competition.

re: #98 mama winger

I know that one.

Religion is pretty private to me

The fewer words the better too.

I didn't mean that kind of "self-service." Though you may be onto something about this service, spiritually speaking.

I've never seen anything even remotely close to this in a Catholic Church. Some bad singing, bad guitar playing, yes. A whole lot of that.

re: #109 Cap'n DOC

I LOVE bingo !

But I'm Lutheran. All we get is coffee cake. I am thinking of converting.

Sounds like they were selling vidoe:

Diety! Diety! DVD! DVD!"

re: #94 Cognito

Then who are the puppets?

re: #95 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

Well why didn't you just say so?

Multi-tasking. I've been taping FNC to practice my transcription speed. Prepping to get back into a law firm and out of retail hell.

I'm sure many a skit looks amusing to outsiders, but for the life of me, the dancing woman at the beginning reminds me of the drugged "oracle" from the movie 300, and I'm remined how Paul had to keep after new churches not to let old ways or that day's version of the occult enter into their services.

It is like Paul wasn't here to keep them on track and they got way, way offtrack.
