A Liturgical Abuse Disguised as An Oxymoron

This was announced at the Masses last Sunday & in the bulletin of a DBQ parish for the last 2 weeks:
"The Passion will be proclaimed in mime at the 4:15 Saturday Mass and 9:30 Sunday Mass." (emphasis mine for those who may miss it.)

    Do native Iowans suffer from corn overdose or something? I never would have expected so much bizarre activity in a place so remote as Iowa.

    I've seen this done.

    Last year at Palm Sunday, I was visiting a parish in another state, and the gospel was "proclaimed" by the parish youth group, who performed it in pantomime.

    Awful.

    Simplex,

    Wish I knew what is going on here.

    NON CAPISCO???????

    My only guess is the ethenol fumes are starting to get to them.

    & while it may be remote to you, this is my home state that I grew up in. This used to be a solid sane, state. & now?

    Some years ago there was a T-shirt: "Iowa: Hogs, Hawkeyes & a Few Wierdos". Now we nedd a new version: "Iowa: Hogs, Hawkeyes, & Very Few Sane People">
