Liturgical Dance
UPDATE: I saw this on Brandon Vogt‘s Facebook page…
A good friend told me a story this weekend about a priest he once knew. The local bishop was visiting this priest’s parish for Mass, but before Mass began the whole assembly was treated to an elaborate liturgical dance. It was the real-deal: hand-scarves, dresses, music, tambourines, hand gestures, and more.
When the dance was over, the bishop slowly turned to the priest and whispered in his ear: “If they come up and ask for your head on a platter, they’re going to get it.”
and women….
Seriously. Cringing.
“Oh dear” … but very clever. And I’m not entirely sure I get the inference. but yes liturgical dance really is rather horrifying.
and this is why I avoid Mass at LA Congress like the plague.
Yes, Scary.. I’m glad they don’t do that anymore at our church.
LOL! That’s hilarious.
Kathy, the inference is when Herodias (the wife of Herod’s brother, who Herod would marry) has her daughter Salome dance for him in front of all of the leaders under him. He was so seduced by the dance, he was willing to give over half the kingdom to her. Herodias then asked Salome to ask for the head of John the Baptist on a silver platter, and thus Herod had John beheaded.
Ignorant people will always be ignorant smh.
