Mass Abuse quiz

Well this isn't techie, as you have to get a sheet of paper to take this but I am curious how others do on this. There are 60 questions, and I take offense at some answers that I got wrong because either the "times have changed"(i.e., laymen may no longer purify sacred vessels) or something that never received official approval(women and feet washing). A got a few wrong other than that....like 3. The other two were debatable. Here is the link:

Hula Mass. I did not know that. Hmph.


Vatican Approves Hula Masses
Just when you think you have heard it all, here comes another genre of Mass that was needed. Hula Mass. Well, see, ya know, here's the rub. It depends on how you define "dance". Right. Here's someone who has my attitude:

***"Participation through gestures and posture should be strongly encouraged in Masses with children with due regard for age and local custom."***

What's next? A mosh pit at mass for stoners? Macarena mass for the Latin Americans? Clogging masses for mountain folk?

This was approved in 1999 while I was busy nursing babies and I just missed this newfangled way of worship. Forget the mantilla, throw me a grass skirt and and a coconut and lets do this.

Okay, back to work, this is too much for my wee traditional brain.
