The Bovina Bloviator posted a disturbing video last summer of a Western themed mass in Austria—Western as in cowboys and barbeques: “The Catholic Church in Austria: Defining Deviancy Downward” Here is the Gloria.TV coverage of the event and of the controversy:
Cardinal Schönborn, Archbishop of Vienna, evidently supported the event which occurred previous years despite protests to the Cardinal. Here is Gloria.TV’s coverage of the “mass” in A.D. 2010. From what I have been able to find online, the protests finally worked to get the mass cancelled last summer. One wonders, however, why such an abomination was ever considered or allowed.
Unfortunately, this sort of nonsense is too common, but it is becoming less so. The spiritual aneurism of the 1960’s caused much confusion, but I think that Rome is on its way to recovery.

I could have sworn this was going to be a satirical video when I first looked at it. Hard to believe the Catholic Church went along with this.
