Abuse Alarm – Liturgical Dancing and Puppets

"How can people call this a Catholic liturgy??? UNbelievable. As Fr. Philip Neri warns, don’t watch this video while drinking liquids. It’s like a show! Lots of dance numbers, lots of celebrants, lots of leavened bread…lots of liturgical abuses.
Yes, this took place at the West Coast Call To Action conference. Who’s that? Let’s look at their conference speakers:
Victoria Rue, M.Div., Ph.D. is a feminist theologian, and writer, director, and teacher of theatre. She teaches at San Jose State University in Comparative Religious Studies and Women’s Studies. Victoria also presides at monthly liturgies of the Sophia Catholic Community in Santa Cruz and at a weekly Eucharist at SJSU.
Bishop Remi de Roo, purportedly the youngest bishop at the Second Vatican Council, who said in an interview, “You’re not going to get the young people unless you’re willing to accept modern culture and give it the right to express itself in liturgy,” spoke about–you guessed it–the “true spirit” of Vatican II.
Robert Blair-Kaiser of takebackourchurch.org. “Take Back Our Church”? Isn’t this God’s Church? His Bride? The one He established? Am I inhaling too much incense here, people???
And of course there are Jesuits aplenty. I know there are some wonderful, faithful and orthodox Jesuits out there–take Fr. Mitch Pacwa. But let’s face it, there are lots who aren’t. They were at the WCCTA conference."
More Roman Catholic examples.

GJ - Where have I read the same rubrics? Let me check with Google.
Oh, here:
"The CORE exists to transform lives for Christ through faith that is real, relevant, and relational."
In another place, The CORE "takes culture seriously."
Turning the worship service into entertainment (relevant culture) began with Vatican II, the drug-soaked 1960s, and the insights of Fuller Seminary. In WELS and the Little Sect on the Praire, all roads lead back to Jeske, Kelm, Parlow, Patterson, Valleskey, Roth, Witte, Aderman, Bruce Becker, and Wayne Mueller.
