Do you know about the 1969 movie Change of Habit with Elvis Presley and Mary Tyler Moore? Someone just told me about it.
This clip from the end of the movie is priceless – watch it for the remarks of the two old ladies at Mass. (You may get one or two irritating advertisements first.)
awr
… or, as it’s known as my house: Eyeliner Nuns
This was just on one of the cable movie channels last night!
Nice song for the preparation of the gifts. Lavabo finished and the song comes to an end. Well played Mr Presley.
Looks like the young sister is having second thoughts on her vows.
I guess the key to a full church is having Elvis as your song leader.
She’s gonna make it after all!
So wrong, in so many ways.
I could hardly bear to watch the episode involving the forcible restraint of the autistic child, which more closely resembled a Hollywood version of an exorcism than any sort of medical treatment. Not to mention the attempted rape of a nun to showcase Elvis’ heroism.
What sort of audience back then could ever have found this entertaining or edifying, even if one were to make allowances for the uses of “nigger” and “faggot”?
Well, I am 58 years old and I never remembered any parish or pastor who would permit this type of music at a tridentine mass…it makes no sense.
I thought this type of music was introduced at those “folk masses’ that used the 1970 Sacramentary????
