PowerPoint Horror!!
I would say that the last two weeks have shown that the faithful at my parish Church are coping admirably with the new Liturgy of the Mass, using laminated Mass cards as a help, for the tme being. Ok, so the rhythm's not quite right yet, but, given time... I can't quite describe my horror as, after Mass this morning, a huge PowerPoint screen, placed directly above the altar, was given a test run. This will be used on Saturday Vigil and Sunday Masses from now on. Such things may be acceptable in protestant, evangelical Churches, but during the Mass??? It is an aesthetic abomination, especially due to its positioning. Our beautiful crucifix of the risen Christ is obscured. I hae made my feelings known to my Priest and Deacon, but I doubt it will make any difference, sadly, even though others share my disquiet and concern. My Priest sais we need to "get up to date with the 21st century", and that "it will help the young people". The "young people"
