Motu coverage continues
This post by Grant Gallicho at dotCommonweal on Summorum Pontificum, [12 pp. pdf] drew many comments, including this by Cathleen Kaveny.
I can't disagree with that as a measure of almost four decades of post-conciliar liturgical reform, that the clown mass has probably become less frequent.

But I don't think the options are a clown mass or the tridentine rite. And I don't see how the latin mass is going to fix the clown mass, which I don't think is around much any more.

With one exception (from 1984) all the links and the links from the links were for clown ministries not clown masses. There is a BIG difference.
Rann:
As I said, "the clown mass has probably become less frequent".
But why clown ministries? Do these folks think today's children watch Bozo and Clarabelle on TV, or look forward to the circus coming to town? Isn't part of the fun of Krusty the Clown that he's an anachronism?
If liturgy and ministry need a pop culture hook, how about Austin Powers, just defrosted from being cryogenically frozen in the sixties.
