After a New Mass, of course. Our friend Francesco Colafemmina, of Fides et Forma, went to a mass in the Ordinary Form this Sunday in the Cathedral of Bari (Apulia, Italy). And, as soon as the "celebrazione eucaristica" was over, a special event was announced: in honor of the birthday of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, a dance was going to be performed. And it was, indeed:
Perhaps this is what the Council Fathers had in mind when they recalled that the people of the Vedas "seek freedom from the anguish of our human condition either through ascetical practices or profound meditation or a flight to God with love and trust" (Nostra Aetate)? Poor Francesco: he still does not know if the worst part of the evening was this performance or the unbearably sugary homily he had heard a few minutes earlier.
