"In a world that doesn't understand the mind of the Council Fathers...
[sad scenes of your favorite liturgical abuses]
When you need the Sacraments.
When you want the Extraordinary Form.
When no one has been trained.
When even your bishop won't help you.
Maybe you can call in --
Ecclesia Dei: Special Ops.
[quick cuts of priests on motorcycles, priests on skis in snowy barrens, priests crawling on their belly through underbrush, priests parachuting]
[Shot of priest at just opened door.]
"I'm from the Vatican, and I'm here to help you."
[quick cuts of various traditional forms of the Sacraments and other devotions, each led by a priest in full traditional array.]
Good guys wear black!
Ecclesia Dei: Special Ops."

Special Ops

LOL!
That description brings to mind an image from a few years ago at my parish.
We have Confession 3 times per day (either before or after each Daily Mass), and twice on Saturday for an hour. On Saturdays, we'd have 2-3 priests, and it was possible for 4 to be around, even though the 4th wasn't hearing Confessions.
My Adoration hour is at 3, Confessionsa at 4, so as I stood in the vestibule talking to a friend, we watched priests come towards us, diverting to the chapel and confessionals from all directions.
"Wow...you'd think we were in a Church or something," I commented. All we needed was for a priest to come parachuting through the roof!
I would have applauded that.
And if I had the money, I'd PAY for that!
Around here Father Echert is the priest on the Batcycle and he rides with his cassock on :) Father Z was just at St. Augustine's for Argument of the Month.
Vin: I think Maureen robbed us! Dude, didn't we come up with that quite a while ago!?!
