We all know that the Easter Vigil is just way too short when all the options are used, including the Roman Canon. We know that all the Protestant relatives and friends of those received into the Church at the vigil want a longer liturgy to savor what their new Catholic relatives are experiencing. I am sure that a three hour Easter Vigil is way too short for Protestants and most Catholics, so this is a splendid way for them to savor the way too short Easter Vigil in a longer fashion. Brilliant! no?
Leave it to the left coast, Holy Spirit Parish, Berkley, California to be so ingenious in 2012:
I wonder if the CDF at the Vatican has devised a survey to see how well this kind of liturgy is integrated into the diocese and what effect it has had on the EF Mass?

Personally, I would be embarrassed to be up there doing that particularly the guy swinging around the thurible. Lame, cheesy...and they wonder why so many men don't like going to church.
Maybe they should consider doing this....from the olympics:

I think you and Father Kavanaugh, and maybe a couple of other priests from around the area, should perform this next Easter Vigil! I would drive down to Georgia just to see it!
God bless.

Mostly, modern Masses are run by entrenched "servants" wanting to be the center of attention by every performer at every showtime. Almost nothing is done to honor God, but only self.
They are not even truly entertaining, for those who defend them as drawing crowds for entertainment, and especially this goes for most the music where if the music leader actually listened, they would note most attendees are not, or are barely, singing at all.
They care only for own plans, own performance, own temporary stardom, and would rather die than change, or, at least, would leave and never come back, were their various "litugical" functions/authority cut.
As for cringe-worthy, here are a few compendia, the first shows mostly video

while the second is mainly stills

all mostly to give glory to the "liturgical minister".
If they ever do that at any Catholic Mass I attend, I am taking my bologna sandwich on Wonder bread, Twinkie, and Hawaiian Punch elsewhere.
