After Easter Mass the head flapper walked past an older parishioner near the holy water font and I saw the older parishioner get in the flapper's face and heard him say quite emphatically, "You need to stop being the center of attention and move out of the center of the church!" The flapper looked quite shocked at the confrontation, but paused, seemed to think better of it, so said nothing and hastily moved on.

Oh, admit it, Mark, that "older parishioner" was none other than youself, right?  :laugh1:

I had never heard of "flapping" and it does sound very innapropriate. How can a person be allowed to stand on the front of the altar calling attention to itself? Does this practice have a historical precedent?
The sspx leadership are bringing to the US all of the "european customs" from the 30s, 40s, 50s.  Most of these customs were liturgical abuses, and not traditional.

This must be part of some bigger plan. A hybrid mass was mentioned some time ago. There might be a deal with the Roman authorities to implement this little by little.

Unfortunately, some of these were given a nod/wink of approval from Pope Pius XII.
