Satire, but I've been to Mass in Parishes where I'm sure the people would think it's a good thing.
From the Eye of the Tiber
Local pastor Fr. Robert Dunn reported to his congregation in the parish newsletter this morning that beginning the week after Christmas, all Masses were to be replaced by an hour of “straight-up fellowship.”
This news came as no shock to many of the parishioners who said that the Mass had been disintegrating for some time before the announcement was made official.
“Oh yeah, we saw this coming a mile away,” said 43-year-old parishioner Jacob Bryant. “I mean, about 40 to 50 minutes of the Mass is solely dedicated to the sign of peace anyway, so when I read about the no Mass thing, it was basically him telling us that he was simply doing away with 10 to 20 minutes of Mass time.”
In the newsletter, Dunn said that he had come to the decision after witnessing “the damage praying was doing to good quality fellowship time.”
“I really shouldn’t even say that praying was doing damage to fellowship time, because in all reality, fellowship is the highest form of praying, if you know what I’m saying.”

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
