Who is worshipping whom?
Pope Benedict, please, I beg you, mandate that Mass be offered ad Deum instead of versus populum.
Oh my, that looks like pagan worship or smoke and mirrors or something--something NOT a holy and reverent Catholic Sacrifice of the Mass.
Hopefully Bishop Olmstead will be able to shut down this travesty.
Maybe now the movement will finally wither away.
What the #$#@% is that thing in the middle? Could it be an altar? No, it couldnt be an altar. It must be a table from a 70s fern bar.
Life Teen is a cult, in the common, modern sense of the word. It should be condemned to the Inferno. The founder and his accomplices have led hundreds upon hundreds of young people and their families into false worship. One of his former female collegues is now a Protestant "minister", with many, many others joining heretical "faith" communitites.
I can see the red meat crowd is still alive and well. "LifeTeen is a cult," hysterical "assessments," etc.
Yes, this looks very bad for Msgr. Fushek and for the many young people who may (will?) be scandalized over the allegations. But LifeTeen have produced a vibrant faith-life in thousands of youth in parishes in the US and Canada. The LT directors I know are salt of the earth Catholics: orthodox, educated, fully faithful to the Magisterium to a T, and profoundly interested in the salvation of souls. Not all are liturgical wing-nuts.
Take a deep breath, people. It wouldn't hurt to offer some prayers. Spleen venting is so damn cheap.
And now, I await the accusation of closet liberal and heresy-sympathizer.
Salt-of-the-earth Catholics should be by definition: orthodox, educated, fully faithful to the Magisterium to a "T", namely, Tradition, not tawdry theatrics.
If you could show me a truly orthodox LT director at a parish let me know.... I honestly have never found that to be true. (LT passed through about 4 of the parishes in my area, I tried to give it a chance.)
wow! great pictures of the pagan rites. Where's the chicken sacrifice for reading the auguries?
Hilary, Chicken sacrifice??? Right here!!

You know what we really need? Thats right more useless tripe to goad uninterested teenagers who have so many more interesting things to do, to the fullness of christ. In a culture filled with ADHD kids running around trying to find a new way to get an attention "fix" lets completely screw up the one thing they really need, hell while were at it lets get the cartoon network to put it on tv and dress the priest up like conan the barbarian.
All that LifeTeen has ever shown me was love. Their goal is to "Lead teens closer to Christ." If it wasn't for LifeTeen I would not see Love on the cross.
Stop this hate. We are all sinners. We should pray for each other, not condemn each other to the pit.
P.S. You need to get an updated photo. St. Timothy's doesn't look like that anymore.
It struck me as I was watching a video linked at Catholic Church Conservation:

That while I may not agree with everything that was said, in most of the clips where they showed priests liturgically misbehaving, many came from Msgr. Fushek's happy lifeteen jams. Very interesting...
