"The Only Expression of the Roman Rite": Eucharist on a Bumper Car Facility

Father Markus Thoms celebrated an August 21 Novus Ordo Eucharist on a bumper car facility at the funfair in Neuenkirchen, Münster diocese, Germany.

The Münsterländische Volkszeitung reported in its print edition (newspaper photos below) that the "altar" was a beer table. Numerous plastic chairs and 19 bumper cars served as seats.

The altar boys also sat on a bumper car. They thought "it was cool" and remarked: "Great atmosphere and comfortable seats in the bumper car, not like the wooden chairs in the church."

Thoms chose a bumper car as credence table for the chalice and host bowl. The Novus Ordo is, according to Francis' unintentionally humorous statement, "the only expression of the Roman Rite."
