Catholics crack down: In response to some less than acceptable innovations in the Catholic mass, the Vatican is preparing a directive that will crack down on applause and dancing in the aisles as well as altar girls and a litany of other practices. The issue of altar girls is apparently due to priest recruitment. Traditionalists complain the inclusion of altar girls waters down a standard arena for training new priests as well as opens the door to female priesthood. Applause and dancing, well that's just obvious. What are they? Pentacostals?
We'd gladly invite the Pope to an Orthodox shul. It won't change his views on altar girls, but he might lighten up on the moving in the aisles bit.
