Dear TIA,

Regarding the L.A. Religious Education Congress at the end of March 2006 [click here], here is a video clip of the closing "liturgy" at the - replete with scantily clad women holding smoking incense bowls, raucous ear-splitting music, and of course the liturgical dancing girls and boys.  Click here to view the video.

It's reminiscent of a Hollywood entertainment extravanganza or drag show, with Cardinal Roger Mahony, sitting in his presider's chair on a dais on the stage, as the number one star.

It's one thing to read about the REC events; another to witness them. Watching this video will give you a flavor of the flagrant apostasy that takes place annually at this Congress.

TIA,

It is well known that Cardinal Mahony's "religious education" congresses [click here] have nothing to do with the religion of Catholicism, the one, true faith. Rather, they are exercises in apostasy with forums given to a "who's who" of dissenters from Catholic Magisterial teaching on faith and morals, whereby Catholicism is basically rendered indistinguishable from non-belief.

The end result of these annual travesties are "liturgies" which convey no sense of the supernatural and sacred, but rather are man-centered entertainment where God is relegated to being a bystander replaced by man.
