IN LIGHT OF THE MCCARRICK REPORT, MAYBE THE GERMAN CARDINAL AND BISHOPS CELEBRATING THIS MASS IN GERMANY WITH A VERY FINE ALL BOYS CHOIR SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND JUST WHO IS THAT DANCER DANCING AWAY IN FRONT OF THE CARDINAL AND AT THE AGNUS DEI OF THE MASS???????????????

This sort of spectacle is symptomatic of the depth to which Catholic liturgical worship has sunk since Vatican II. There are even worse examples, in the US and elsewhere, and they are tolerated if not encouraged by the bishops.
Of course Catholics are under no obligation to attend such shinanegans but one has to wonder what the target audience consists of. No Catholic I know would be seen dead at such an event.
It is a blasphemous sacrilegious homoerotic scandal!
Puts the total focus on the dancer and NOT the SACRIFICE OF THE LAMB OF GOD.
I agree Father Allan. It is Blasphemous, Sacrilegious, and Homoerotic. The singing of the Agnus Dei was Gorgeous.......it made me cry for the sacrilege taking place in front of the altar.....
Homoerotica, obviously, is in the eyes of the beholder. We’ve had all-boy choirs for 1,000 years (I’m not sure why & don’t care to speculate), organs and other instruments, beautiful artwork in churches, pageants and performances, even nude paintings (The Vatican is full of them). Dance is just another art form, and there is nothing inherently sexual about that performance. It’s more of a Rorschach block.
Ka ka Koach K, pure Ka ka
What is this guys contact info? I'd like to book him for my parish. Maybe even for Christmas :)
Liturgical dance is by its nature unsuited to Catholic worship because very often it is grounded in Gnosticism, dubious historical scholarship and hyper-individualism.
By the way, I have read that the "Lord of the Dance", written in 1963 by Sydney Carter, was based on the apocryphal, second century Gnostic Acts of John, where Jesus is supposed to have led his disciples in a round dance before his death. As the Lord of the Dance, he was simply an avatar of a cosmic principle.
I heard that Carter genially admitted that he had been partly inspired by a statue of Shiva which sat on his desk.
Some even claim Carter wrote Lord of the Dance to reimagine Christ as a Shiva-like deity instead of as Jesus.
I think some of the clerics present were getting their jollies from the homoerotic dance
Touché
There is something wrong with the Church in Germany. Not even this Pope -- if you can believe it -- can put an end to their nonsense. Right now they're pushing for inter-communion with protestant churches. I've read that they were behind the Pachamama Synod too. God help the people there.
Why, just why?

That should surprise no one. :(
There is no such thing as liturgical dance. Never has been. One can of course dance while a liturgy is in progress, or even fall down and pretend to speak in tongues, or exhibit any behaviour, however inappropriate. That does not make it liturgical as understood by those Churches, east and west, which actually have a liturgical tradition.
This is from 2018, May 22 look at the timeline. Why bring it now? See that none of them are wearing masks and no social distancing. Thk G_d for my police and firefighter family genes to see details and you guys don't like him cause he's black just like Marshall fakenewsed about th new DC Cardinal.
