Military re-enactment Mass

Somewhere in France. As some of them are dressed in Napoleonic uniforms, we can say that the liturgical rearguard are now occupying the sanctuary in a last desperate attempt to stave off the new indult for the Latin Mass.

And here, for a comparison are the French bishops concelebrating at their last General Assembly.

Normally, its not soldiers but dancing girls that take over the sanctuaries that have been entrusted to them.

But many French Catholics now have no need for Churches when they can gather at a picnic site.

One would think a Tridentine Mass would be more appropriate than a Novus Ordo for such a reanactment.
For a Tridentine Mass, the pseudo-soldiers would have to march out of the sanctuary and they wouldn't like no longer being the centre of attention. Could turn ugly!

Gill,
Here's what a real Mass for the military looks like. I'm quite sure that if anyone could appriciate this... it's you.
