The photo with the bishop: All I could think of are all the cantors/song leaders who do that "hand in the air, palm up" gesture to let the congregation know when they are to respond (like at the responsorial psalm and alleluia verse). Apparently they believe that after 45+ years of the NO Mass, the congregation hasn't gotten it yet.
JR you are so right with that ridiculous hand waving gesture, I only attend the TLM but I get a kick out of the silly hand waving as you said. These Novus Ordonarians still are told when it’s their turn to sing. And the piano and so called Cantors are just god awful and can’t carry a tune, hymns in English are just not the same as in Latin it just doesn’t sound right.

Sorry Father, but if I go into a Church and see this nonsense, I turn around and walk right back out.
SHAME on the bishop in the photo. Most of us laity can't stop this. He can.
UG! That is my old parish. Unfortunately, "liturgical dancing" was the not the worst liturgical abuse that went on there.
Does anyone know how unCatholic and pagan this rubbish is? Seems like an old Hollywood Roman era movie utter and complete trash!
I was reminded of the witches in Macbeth.
