Liturgical No-No: Puppets in Mass

From last week's parish bulletin at St. Agatha's in Milton, MA:

They are quite serious about puppets at St. Agatha's. They have a "Puppet Ministry History" page on their website and a chance to "meet the cast" (my favorite is Clyde, a "Male camel who thinks he is self-important and superior to the other animals" - like all males, I guess).

The organizers say they are only performing at the 9AM Mass because they "feel it is the best place to begin." Actually, Mass is the worst place to begin. Puppets have no place in the divine liturgy.

They say they are going to "pray, and let God lead us where He wants us to go."

I think he wants you to get out of Mass. That's a good place to begin.
