New liturgical lows reached in Schweinfurt
In Schweinfurt in Germany, there is a parish Church dedicated to St Michael that time forgot. As can be seen from the pictures below, they live in a perpetual "Paris 1968". The priest, Roland Breitenbach was ordained in the early 1960s and has never emerged from this wretched time. 
His deacon has been formed in his own image. 
Yes, that is a mobile phone being used during Mass.
Someone should tell them the revolution is over. Sartre, Foucault and all the others are dead or ignored.
Biker's Mass
The board says "He is among us". As the priest has only a tenuous Catholic belief, he probably thinks it refers to himself.
What a Messe! (Messe is German for Mass)
Almost certainly invalid, by reasons of form, intention and matter.
Its Deacon "Dylan" again
The Parish think nothing of inviting heretical, deposed Bishops.
Weird Good Friday liturgy
Weird Good Friday II
Weird is also the word to describe their Cross. Done only for effect, not to preach the Gospel.
Red-Nose Day Mass. The great Feasts of the Church are doubtless celebrated half-heartedly. But they put there whole heart into Red-Nose Day.
But this parish is sadly no joking matter.
The excellent Pro-Sancta Ecclesia reports that St Michael's Church has installed a Wailing Wall
in place of what they claim to be "two useless confessionals", at which the centre is a "Dancing Cross". 
A Dancing Cross is not the Cross on which Our Lord wrought the Redemption. The artist says he was inspired by Indian spirituality and believes that the energy of earth, wind, fire and water is at the centre of the whole.
In 2003, the parish priest introduced a "Allerweltsmesse- One World Mass" for the last Sunday in Advent. It consisted of a variety of music from around the world.
The Canon of the Mass has been completely corrupted, including the statement that "humankind was created full of imagination"
And asks God that "we should follow the policies of the UN"!!
But worst of all, this was the closing blessing
"We wish to give you a blessing from the one God, who a thousand names cannot do justice to nor whom ten thousand pictures represent.
May you be blessed by Allah, the all merciful and all one, to whom the Muslims pray.
May you be blessed by Brahma, the creator, who according to Hindu belief created all things.
May you be blessed by Vishnu, who comes into this world, to show you the way.
May you be blessed by Jahweh, who has been revealed to the people Israel, who is present for mankind.
May you be blessed by the Mother Goddesses of those who follow Nature, who protect all being and all things that pass, and bring from death new life.
May you be blessed by Manitou, the great spirit of the Indians, who enlivens all things.
May you be blessed by the threefold God, in whom all the gods throughout the world are united and taken up, Father, Son and Holy Spirit."
The Parish has its own "Sacred Pop Band". The Mass was performed by them and even recorded.
Funtasy.
The name and the logo says it all. Calling yourself sacred does not make you Catholic.
Here they are:
Now after two years an English version of this "Mass" has been prepared.
The premiere. You guessed it at: World Youth Day- not at the main event but at a three day long preparatory event(last para) in Würzburg. Trying to obtain a copy of the English text.
