This should make you feell better about the celebration of the Mass at your local parish
I am thinking of starting up a campaign to donate money to the the Cathedral of Auch in the Diocèse of Gers. Surely their funds must have run low and couldn't buy proper candle holders. At least that is the most charitable explanation I could think of.
Though my charitable imagination fails at the other pictures in the series at Catholic Church Conservation which are not for the liturgical faint of heart.
With the last picture in the series I am really hoping that the ball shown is the one from the TV series The Prisoner and in this case is being used to pacify liturgical performers.

The Church looks nice though...how incongruous!

Posted by Joe of St. Thérèse email at January 28, 2008 9:06 PMIt's a wonderful church, Criffton. Simple, but massive, and dominating the town of Auch.
I went to the Easter Vigil Mass there in 2006; a building like this lit only by candles is a awesome sight.

I thought that the yellow thing was a gigantic lemon specially sent by God to tell them what He thought about all these goings on that shouldn't be going on.
Jeff, with things like this going on, it makes your job all the more difficult. How do you parody parody?
