Video: Dog participates in liturgy at Sunday Mass

A concerned papist writes:

"The video [shows] one of many liturgical abuses during Sunday Mass, which also included a plug before Mass for Father's favorite dog shampoo (As he set the bottle of shampoo on the altar while continuing to talk about it and then made some in the congregation smell it)."

Here is the video:

The Parish is the Church of the Resurrection (Destin, Florida) in the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee. The priest can be e-mailed at pastor@rcc-destin.org. Please be charitable if you choose to contact him.

I think it is legitimate to document cases of liturgical abuse and bring them to the attention of the wider Catholic community, so that prompt action can be taken by the local bishop. Scandal has already been done to those who directly witnessed the event, and by making the abuse public, there is a better chance that action will be quickly taken to address the situation internally.
