Does anyone know if this is typical of all the Catholic churches in Africa?

I'm afraid it is, at least the one's used predominately by black people.

Would things have been like that before Vatican II?

Definitely not I have seen footage of masses from Africa from the seventies even and they where not like that.

You think this is bad? My friend went to a cousins N.O. 1st communion and was dubstruck! She was so out raged she said she had to control herself to keep from killing one of the altar girls! Cheez-nips instead of hosts!?!? Altar girls wearing togas!?!? Shouting hooray for Jesus because He's your savior!!?? A priest who was discovered to be going out with one of the women parishoners!?!? I guess this is your expression :shocked: or :barf: or :cussing: or :really-mad2: Also at a N.O. church across the street from where I used to live used to have clown masses, ballerina masses, and teddy bear masses just to name a few! Im not joking!

The good news is that the communion hosts were cheez-nips -so thank goodness there was no sacrilege committed against the Body of Christ since the communion hosts were not validly consecrated because the wrong ingredients were used.

Well, at least these bastions of orthodoxy are cranking out the vocations! Such "vocations" are going to save the Church one day soon!
