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 Dioc�se 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.
