Do not image search "liturgical fistula". It pulls up the other more common fistula.
AFAIK, this is very pre-Vatican II, and a high papal mass is the only time you might actually see one.
HA HA HA HA HA 😂 WHAT?!
Did they just tell the kids it was a mopey child getting a bad home haircut from their mom? Or it's just a Shrek song?
Or are they just singing chorus (or omitting the 2nd verse)?
Continuing with the “forever missing the point” The Vatican City once invited Hozier to sing Take Me To Church which really shows a complete lack of lyric comprehension 😅
Or they just selectively listened to "take me to church" and "Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins, so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death, oh, good God, let me give you my life" and went off the vibes of the tune.
OTOH "Catholic guilt punishment confession x crossed wires with sex" is very on brand. St. Theresa of Avila and Benedetta Carlini would listen to this with zero irony. Also the VERY ex Catholic Anne Rice vampires.
He didn’t do it, but boy would that have been something 😅 The quote from him is “I was invited to perform in the Vatican City once, which was interesting… I was invited to sing ‘Take Me to Church,’ I think, at one point.” Love his use of “interesting” here Very polite of him. 😂
It's made even worse by the fact that I associate the original with the awkward sex scene in Watchmen djdkdkek
Last year when the band I was in started rehearsing potential holiday songs, that was one of them. I looked around like "what??? Are y'all seeing this shit?" But everyone looked fine 😱
I also heard it on a local radio station a few years ago that only plays Christmas music during Christmas season. I almost crashed my car yelling at my radio lmao (not really but I was outraged)
