[Thy Geekdom Come]

They're using wooden patens and wooden chalices (with gold inlay)

[Old_Joe]

Sounds cool. A bit rustic, but cool.

[Noel's angel]

not cool, not cool at all

[thessalonian]

The parish I go to some of the time uses something that looks like a punch bowl for the hosts and a koolaid picture, minus the smiley face (fortunately) for the wine.

[Noel's angel]

our school uses a fruitbowl looking thing and a ceramic chalice with mosaic tiles

[Piccoli Fiori JMJ]

I went to a Mass with a glass Chalice... that just threw my focus off so much...

[Extra ecclesiam nulla salus]

liturgical abuses smell of elderberries....

we have this priest who always does them

and he thinks hes really cool

and hes like

"revelation is god saying WHAT'S UP???"

he refuses to preach from the pulpit and walks down into the middle of isle.

hes a jesuit so...................

[Noel's angel]

is his name Frank Diamond??? Cause he does things like that...

[Extra ecclesiam nulla salus]

no whos frank dimond?

ohHH!

Everyone calls him Father Hank

instead of his last name (which i don't even know )

[Noel's angel]

He's a Jesuit priest who makes jokes in the middle of Mass and shouts out 'spotty dog' now and again fo no reason. He's young and thinks he's really 'cool'. He's also made comments about when he was in Africa and how the kids were saying he looked like a monkey because he had hairy legs and he said 'who are they to be calling me a monkey? Look whos talking'

weird

[Piccoli Fiori JMJ]

I've met a Jesuit Priest who memorizes the Gospel, and then Proclaims it like a story... it is very captiating, but certain parts made me wonder how much of it he was ad libbing... I also heard he does theatrical presentations of the Gospel during Mass...

You know, outside of Mass, that would probably be fine, but why do people feel the need to make Mass more "entertaining"...?

[Fides_et_Ratio]

My parish has started using glass chalices (we're hoping that it's just temporary while they clean/fix the old ones-- they gold inlay was chipping..). I still complained (as usual).

It seems like as some things get better, other things get worse!

I did not know this was not allowed. I thought as long as it was lined with gold, any container would make do. I take back my previous comment.

Technically, this is true of the chalice (although only on a technicality)...but the paten is wood.

[Extra ecclesiam nulla salus]

wow that jesuit seems a bit crazy and a little racist.
