Vatican II: Electric Boogaloo

I think we need more positive creative forms of worship within the Church. For those of you outside the Church - meaning not Christian or non-religious - who think this doesn't really concern you, I challenge you to revisit chlidhood and think back to all those times you visited youth group with your religious friends and had to sit through another sign language presentation set to a Steven Curtis Chapman song. I'm not saying we need fire breathing pastors (literally, not figuratively - we've accomplished that for better and for worse), but I welcome some genuine, authentic creativity in the way people relate to God. That being said, humans are subjective and I'm going to love this example more than I'll love someone speaking-in-tongues-juggle-painting. Plus, I love breakdancing.

Watch how the Pope blesses these guys with the wave of his hand, as if to say, "Bounce with me, bouce with me....I'ma da Popa....Big Popa...".
