Back to the 70s

Mass is now bringing back floods of nostalgia:

Clouds of incence .... endless litanies of obscure saints names ... more mincing around on the altar than in a mincemeat factory (doing the red) ...

Was that a 70s disco hit?

It's a tedious little phrase, much beloved in some quarters: "saying the black and doing the red" - that is, sticking to the (black) text and obeying the (red) rubrics. Not dressing up in clown suits and making it all up as we go along, as many suspect. :roll:

How disappointing.
I thought it was something like The Funky Chicken!

Perhaps it is ...

I think the second c(r)appa magna is REALLY impressive!

Goodness, even the Cappa appears to have been through the 60s mini phase!

mince
late 14c., from O.Fr. mincier "make into small pieces," from V.L. *minutiare "make small," from L.L. minutiæ "small bits," from L. minutus "small" (see minute).

The two could be combined if you had a dancing priest!

I congratulate you all for remaining on topic.

As an ex-English teacher, I couldn't resist editing the topic's title.

As you were...

I like the wryness of your style, musicus. Not least because the first post made it difficult to distinguish the topic (whatever it might be) from the comment's sophisticated blend of homophobia and anti-clericalism.

NT
Please do not understand me - I am not being homophobic or anti-clerical! - (some of my best friends are priests)

The topic, to clarify, is indeed the increasing feeling of nostalgia for the early 70's I now get
at Mass with retro and untraditional practices like receiving communion on the tounge etc. coming back.

Also, I am not for one moment saying that clerics with c(r)appa magnas are a bunch of raving nancy-boys - but
it has to be said that they do a very good impression of being so.

Me too. What about the gays and the Jews?
