Saint Pius X-Miss Me Yet?-1
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 41 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Truly bizarre. The first 15 seconds of the video I spent trying to figure out entirely what was transpiring.
Also: Since Vatican II, altars have radically changed in design, but this “table of sacrifice” is bizarre-cubed.
How is the Byzantine Catholic Church not growing by leaps and bounds in the West??
Firstly, doesn’t the Altar have to be a fixed table made of solid material (like stone)? Secondly, shouldn’t it be consecrated by a Bishop? And thirdly, how can that flimsy mound of dirt act as a bunker to hide under when Our Lord comes looking for them at his Second Coming. All the luck to them cause they are going to need it..
DJH- I can only speculate that they just don’t have enough churches and clergy. The Eastern rite Catholic parishes in the Dallas area are all filled to capacity every Sunday, as is the one FSSP parish in the diocese. The SSPX chapel near Fort Worth is building a bigger facility to accommodate the crowds coming to Mass there. That sort of growth is, I would guess, a completely new thing for these branches of the Church.
Wasn’t this a clip from Indiana Jones and the Temple Doom?

I was thinking of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” where Roy Neary is building his model of Devils Tower in his living room. Could it be: “It’s Aliens.”? 🙂
GREGB.
Yep.
It’s Alien’s. Wrong Spielberg movie.
Has there ever been a papal abduction before?
That devil’s tower altar is something alright. Great groundwork for a new order katholicism.
