A bit vernacular, I thought. |

For your edification: Lambada the forbidden dance Nisa (Laura Harring) is the princess of a Brazilian tribe who comes to Los Angeles to stop an American corporation from destroying her rainforest home. With her is tribal shaman Joa (Sid Haig), who uses black magic to get past the company guards and see the chairman of the corporation, resulting in his arrest. Left to fend for herself in Los Angeles alone, Nisa, with the help of Carmen (Angela Moya), finds work in a Beverly Hills mansion as the servant of an uptight couple whose son, Jason (Jeff James), lives only to dance. After spying on Nisa as she dances provocatively in her bedroom, Jason takes her out to a club. She is rejected by Jason's friends, and he is berated by his parents for dating the help. Nisa runs away and gets a job at Xtasy, a sleazy dance joint/brothel, as a dance partner for male customers. Jason's friends visits the club and want to dance with Nisa, but Nisa refuses to dance with them. One of Jason's friends (Kenny Johnson) becomes sleazy towards her and she knees him in the groin. Later, the friends tell Ashley, Jason's girlfriend, and she runs back and tells Jason his little girlfriend is a sleaze working at Xtasy. He becomes morose, turns away from his buddies and girlfriend Ashley (Barbra Brighton) and goes to Xtasy to try to take Nisa out of the place. A bouncer beats up the would-be rescuer and prepares to deflower Nisa, but fortunately, Joa walks in and magically stuns the attacker, which clears the place. The shaman then heads back to the tribe, while Nisa and Jason, now in love, prepare for a dance contest, hoping to speak out about the plight of the rainforest when they are showcased on TV. They win the contest, but the corporation's head stooge, Benjamin Maxwell (Richard Lynch), kidnaps Nisa afterwards. Jason finds them and helps Nisa to escape but twists his ankle, ruining their chances of performing on the show. Luckily, Joa shows up backstage, heals Jason's wound, and the dance goes ahead as planned. The crowd loves them, Nisa's king father joins on stage, they start a boycott against the destruction of the rainforest, and everyone gets into the Lambada. |

Really Deacon? You think it's perfectly ok to trash a thread with that tripe? |

As much as it is to start a thread with tripe. Get off your poor me, I'm oppressed, I am a victim . If you won't allow my description of how sad (it was edited out) it is. Garbage will suffice. There are five or six other descriptions which come to mind and they are all more fitting.

Lol! Well perhaps that's something you can take up with the FSSP. I'm not oppressed, nor a victim, and I fail to see your point? Edited by Angus Toanimo, Friday, 4. May 2012, 00:53.

I'm not aware of editing any post in recent days other than my own, just now. As for garbage - it's a pretty good adjective for your attitude towards the videos. How's vocations in your diocese these days? |

over 10 for each year of the last four years. How is your Diocese doing? We have 30 in Seminary, 8 being ordained this month and another 35 Deacons (permanent and transitional) intraining.

Worse than yours, unsurprisingly. 1 priest ordained in 2010, 4 to the diaconate. Four ordinations in 2011. |

I'm watching the local election results. Should this thread title read "The Forbidden Right"? |

We have more than 200 active Priests( also a number in residence), more than 160 active Deacons, and probably 40-60 senior Deacon ( we don't list them). There is also Three monastaries in the Diocese. Please tell me about yours. |

Angus Toanimo It is one thing to be a "fool for Christ" It is another to be a fool. How many are of the same view as you? We have never stopped either Tridentine or Latin Mass in my Diocese. The problem is we can't get more that a couple dozen to go on a regular basis Edited by Deacon Robert, Friday, 4. May 2012, 01:35.

Thank you Angus for inviting us to join in what appears to be a world wide internet based campaign. Judging by the posts on the first page of this topic, the effort is a non starter. It has as much chance of success as a petition inviting infant school children to call for ice cream to be banned.
Masses offered in English in my parish are powerful...beautiful...ancient...extraordinary. God the Son comes to us, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. It is not superior to any other valid Form of Mass. I just happen to be happy with it. |
