"God is a comedian playing to an audience that is afraid to laugh" - Voltaire

Thumbs up for those who got a laugh out of this! Great job!

This is the zenith of one of the rarest commodities on earth: respectful satire. The soaring majesty of the Chorus Hallelujah combined with the self deprecating efforts of the silent monk "singers" captivates like few other seasonal comedies. I say "BRAVO!" One can almost feel the host of heaven smiling on this delightful production.

Nice costume-shop bought habits. I can tell you clearly these are not authentic friars (as Franciscans also do not call themselves "monks"; we ascribe to the active-contemplative life in our promises to God and community, which is not entirely "monastic". This looks more like a Baptist creative-theatre done to enhance a non-liturgical church setting. If you are to explore true Franciscan life in one of the more legitimate communities (like CJ or CFR) it will be nothing like this. Sorry, but true
