King David also danced naked. I know we would all like to see that right?

I think we should all remember, that King David, danced in the streets, showing his joy, and adoration for the Lord!!!!! Are we greater than King David?

Gosh.... suppression of this community is quite imminent! No young (or older) girl will ever join this community; they have lost their identity as Benedictine! How utterly sad, let us pray that they recover this identity, and swiftly!!! Or they will just, as I have said, fade into nothingness.....

how sad for these ladies

"till suddenly he sprang back in horror, and looking round cried out in a stifled voice: ' Little children, it is Antichrist.' "

(Vladimir Soloviev)

Die sollten mal lieber bei sich zu Hause tanzen.
Wir sind doch hier nicht bei den Hottentotten ... oder dort vielleicht doch?
Mei, mei, mei...

sad... why does the Bishop allow such trash?

These are NOT nuns but New York City style actresses. This dance would be Okay in a theater or in a church basement but not in a Catholic Church. This church does not even look like a Catholic Church. Where are the icons and statues? It could be a Methodist church! While the music is compelling, these are more like vainglorious schoolgirls having a frolic than "real" nuns.

This video is the reason why so many Catholic churches are mostly empty on Sundays!

The post Vatican II Catholic Church has become the Protestant Catholic Church. No wonder so many Catholics are looking into Eastern Orthodoxy!

This is pretty sad. Imagine what the Orthodox Church must think when it considers the sad "Protestant" state of the "new" Catholic liturgy? Dance like like belongs in the theater, not incorporated into the liturgy. It is entertainment, pure and simple. No wonder the "new" Catholic Church has empty seminaries and convents! Why be a nun when so called Catholic nuns act and dress and do the same things as everybody else? Catholicism has destroyed its once beautiful liturgy. These so called nuns … [More]

Read St. Pius X on what is allowed as music in the actual liturgy. Then you will find that this type of liturgical dance is not found pleasing to God. You may like what is man made, but as far is God is concerned the ;liturgy is a form of himself worshiping himself perfectly. The Church is the Spouse of our Lord, only she can be worthy of giving worthy praise and when you have stuff like this this does not show a Catholic spirit. Try pulling something like that in an Orthodox Church and if you … [More]

"This is a beautiful expression of the faith of these Sisters. How dare anyone call them such bad names as below. They have given themselves totally to Christ and have done a lot for him. Who are we to judge their worship of their spouse? "

Typical "cafeteria Catholic" You need to snap out of it.

Good reply GermanCatholic

Die spinnen doch die Nachkonziliaren

"Who are we to judge their worship of their spouse?"

What about: Catholics?

What will be next? Nude dancing and slaughtering of a black rooster at the altar? Will that, too, go under "worship of their spouse"?

sad display

This is a beautiful expression of the faith of these Sisters. How dare anyone call them such bad names as below. They have given themselves totally to Christ and have done a lot for him. Who are we to judge their worship of their spouse?

Zu Dokumentationszwecken

Warum wird ein solches Video hier hineingestellt, wenn sowieso alle was dagegen haben? Versteh ich nicht.

...peinlich

That's only for women, and its - so I think - only with women. Who would like it ....

nothing more sad than a bunch of aging hippies trying to hold onto the sixties...if this wasn't so discraceful and sad it'd be hilarious...

There are no men in the audience!

If I were the Novus-Ordo-Priest, I would have the Benedictine Girls take some new lessons. Have you heard of those new excercise DVDs, How To Strip Your Way To A Healthy Body. I'd enroll those gals in a Strip Tease Class and then have them come back and do it right. And since there is no actual mass, and "we" don't want one anyway, I would have it all end in a live sex orgy on the Altar.

If you think I'm crazy or disconnected here, just read The Guillotine … [More]

What do you expect from the Vatican II Church and the Novus Ordo mass? Since Vatican II there have been masses where the priest has dressed liked a clown and said mass, there have been acrobats on the altar.... it is truly sad that this is happening where we celebrate the sacrifice of the Holy Mass!

though i agree with the silliness of 1973 American worldliness hippies and dislike of this on here, ..i must say this was NOT part of The Mass, but this performance was at a Office of Lauds, as stated
"...on Christmas Day during Morning Prayer."
still, not very Benedictine.
pax

This is NOT part of our beautiful Catholic Mass. These nuns should NEVER be allowed to make a mockery of the mass. They should save the 'show' for after the mass in the church hall/basement!

@Sokrates

Schon klar. Es ist wichtig, sowas aufzuzeigen. Da gibt es allerdings auch kirchenrechtliche Vorgaben zu.

Die lauten - platt gesagt - kurz formulieren:

Kehr vor der eigenen Haustür.

Konkret heiß das:
Sprich deinen Pfarrer an (oder den Geistlichen, bei dem du den Gottesdienst besuchst.)
Tu das in Liebe und Wohlwollen für die Person und das Amt des Pfarrers, aber gerecht in der Sache (gemäß dem Prinzip "Liebe den Sünder, und weil du ihn liebst, hasst die Sünde")
Wenn er nicht … [More]

@frbenedikt

die Argumentation hat was.

Das (auch provozierende) Gegenargument:

1. muss man die Realität anschauen, wie sie ist. (und die Liturgieskandale dominieren heute [leider])
2. kann man die hässliche Realität der Liturgieskandale (wenn) nur durch das Aufzeigen wegbekommen (der Teufel hasst nichts mehr, als ans Licht gezerrt zu werden).

Ich provoziere gerne mal, wer mich kennt, weiß das sicher. ;)
Das muss jetzt einfach mal raus:

Wo liegt der Sinn dabei, sich hier einen Haufen liturgischer Missstände deepzulinken, um sich dann in Gemeinschaft darüber aufzuregen oder lustig zu machen?

Damit
ändert man 1. nichts,
steigert man 2. seinen Puls unnötigerweise,
gibt man 3. eine schreckliche Außenwirkung ab.

Call me old fashoned and biased, but in my opinion the lack of traditional habit says it all. Unfortunately a lot of Benedictine nuns opt to go habitless. At least thats how it appears. I loved the orders that have remained unchanged in this area. Sorry but I'm alittle passionate about this.
