Weird Mass in Belgium.

The introit consisted of a reading praising molecules and vitamins.

The first reading was not from the Bible but some invocation to divine harmonies.


This may have had something to do with the full orchestra that obscured the High Altar. Most people attending were not sure whether they were at a concert or a Mass.

And the Canon of the Mass was in the form of a dialogue between the priest and the girl. The priest has a reputation for being a .... conservative, which says something about his predecessor and the terrible state of the Church in Belgium.
