Full Blown "Circus Mass" for Christian Unity

[Priest Antonios]

Well played Maria!

[Matthew]

Speechless... well, almost speechless. But other than express my dissatisfaction with such events, what can I say as one still inside world Orthodoxy? :ohvey:

Gotta love that guys foppish makeup job and electrifying hair style though, eh?

How can anyone go to a divine liturgy or "Mass" dolled up like that. The very nature of it says he is not taking any of it any more seriously than a joke of the most irreverent kind. And the Orthodox by participating in it bring themselves down to the same level by attempting to dignify such a mockery by making themselves present participants.

[Priest Antonios]

While RC's are not part of the Church, I still can't believe that their bishops would play dress-up like that. It's absolute madness!

I think the guy with the "electrifying" hair-do secretly wants to be Vanilla Ice

[Matthew]

Vanilla Ice Cream would be have been a better item to have put on the Circus Mass menu.

[Jean-Serge]

The whole celbration is here in French :

Those who like circus and acrobats may enjoy this.

[Matthew]

The acrobatics was excellent. Full marks. The end of "Le Grand Spectacle" featured the only serious point in the whole event when they had a Greek, Romanian, and Armenian priest each chanting a blessing in a familiar and holy Orthodox manner. Once the benedictions had been given, suddenly the curtain behind them blasts open and a full uniformed marching band comes blaring through the breach playing a light jubilant burlesque song! Unbelievable! What a blasphemy.
