Carnival Eucharist in Düren, Germany: Last Sunday, Rev Toni Straeten celebrated a carnival Eucharist in the church St Marien in Düren, Aachen Diocese. He delivered his sermon in a clown costume with red nose. The Novus Ordo Eucharist included carnival songs. Aachen Diocese is currently ruined by Bishop Helmut Dieser.

Aachener Zeitung: "Ein Pfarrer mit roter Clownsnase und Kostüm, eine Predigt in Reimform, Karnevalshits statt Orgelmusik und eine Kirche, die so voll ist wie ansonsten vermutlich nur an Weihnachten – der Karnevalsgottesdienst mit Priester Toni Straeten und der Raritäten-Band am Orchideensonntag in der Dürener Marienkirche ist fast schon Kult."

Nothing says "August Sacrifice of the Mass" more than a guy in a clown outfit.
It is possible that a priest who dresses as a clown once a year is a clown dressed as a priest all the other days.

Just a priest - he could also be bishop.... (then promoted Cardinal)

The irony: We wouldn’t have FSSP, ICKSP, etc. or diocesan TLMs had Archbishop Lefebvre not thrown his famous “hand grenade” in 1988.

The head of Una Voce throws the SSPX under the bus. Shame. "A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another." Douay Rheims.

"Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber."
That's Joel 2:16, today's reading for Ash Wednesday. When's the last time you heard a homily on *that* part?
The prophet is calling the whole community to fasting and repentance—and he specifically mentions newlyweds. Even they must leave their bridal chamber and join the assembly in sackcloth. The honeymoon can wait. God is calling.
For most of Christian history, married couples understood this literally. Lent meant sexual abstinence—forty days, the whole season. It wasn't a fringe practice. It was normal. Jerome taught it. Augustine assumed it. Medieval penitentials prescribed it. Your great-grandmother's generation probably still whispered about it.
Now? Crickets.
Try suggesting it today and watch the think-pieces roll in about "unhealthy attitudes toward sexuality" and "inadequate theology of marriage." We've spent sixty years talking about marital intimacy as a "gift from God," as if the marriage bed were something …More
