OK, Mass on the grass this morning in Biloxi -- wooden vessels, no chasuble....Liturgical abuse or moment for pastoral sensitivity? It's your call.

About Me
- Name: Rocco Palmo
One of global Catholicism's most prominent chroniclers, Rocco Palmo has held court as the "Church Whisperer" since 2004, when the pages you're reading were launched with an audience of three, grown since by nothing but word of mouth, and kept alive throughout solely by means of reader support.
A former US correspondent for the London-based international Catholic weekly The Tablet, he's been a church analyst for The New York Times, Associated Press, Washington Post, Reuters, Los Angeles Times, BBC, NBC, CNN and NPR among other mainstream print and broadcast outlets worldwide.
A native of Philadelphia, Rocco Palmo attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. In 2010, he received a Doctorate of Humane Letters honoris causa from Aquinas Institute of Theology in St Louis.
In 2011, Palmo co-chaired the first Vatican conference on social media, convened by the Pontifical Councils for Culture and Social Communications. By appointment of Archbishop Charles Chaput OFM Cap., he's likewise served on the first-ever Pastoral Council of the Archdiocese, whose Church remains his home.

The use of improper vessels does not render ANYTHING invalid. It is, at worst, illicit. Further, the use of alb and stole only is permissible in extraordinary or non-church settings such as this one. And even then, the matter is mitigated by the dire circumstances. I suppose someone's gonna bitch because he didn't wear a biretta or a 33-button cassock. For God's sakes, these people lost everything!!!
Get a life.
