Does a Lifeteen Mass fulfill a Sunday obligation?

Nuns are not allowed to give homilies...


[quote name='ardillacid' date='Jul 7 2005, 03:26 AM']Funny you should mention liturgical abuses...the equivalent of Lifeteen masses in my area have no more than the other churches. And I have never heard anything proclaimed there that isn't in step with Church teaching.  just a bit ago I was at a parish here where a nun gave a homily about prisoners she visited needed to be "re-baptized." hmm which shloud i go to...

that was the point. There are liturgical abuses everywhere not just lifeteen

"ringing people to Mass and closer to Christ" isn't an excuse to do whatever you want. like futurenun said, Mass isn't a performance and as fun as "LIFETEEN type" music can be sometimes, its usually not too appropriate at mass. at least, the loud, electric guitar, drum set kind, not necessarily modern music in general. going to music for the mass or the homily is completely missing the point of going to Mass. its not just LIFETEEN that has this problem, by any means.
sigh. as a youth minister, i just wish that people would/could see the bigger picture -_-

Gregorian chant was [b]modern[/b] when it was first used in Mass. Though I'm not advocating the use of drums or eletric guitars at a normal mass (doesn't go right with me), but for a teen mass, I don't see any problem.
