To my bro here Im catholic and I come from where these people come from. The Church in the South Pacific is really enriched by our dancing, singing but also by our traditional cultures when we celebrate mass...it is our way of praising God.

i love this. it shows the multiculturalism and universality of the Catholic faith, expressing music and dance foreign to Christian Europe, but remaining true to the truth God endowed us with through Jesus Christ. woot woot. this shows it truly is a global celebration hearing and receiving the Word of God...Jesus.

This is really beautiful, thank you for sharing. It would be awesome if South Pacific Catholics could use kava instead of wine for communion, but as long as you're allowed to have it after mass it's all good ;).

That was a typo on my part. I meant to ask...Where is your proof other than what's written in the bible? Catholics have ZERO proof of anything, especially since they controlled the biblical texts for over a thousand years and may very well have re-written much of them, if not all of those texts (the bible) to lean in their favor.

Never, ever trust any claim that comes out of the Vatican...ie..Roman Catholicism.

This is also Polynesian..Because there's a Samoan and a Tongan holding the Bible/Gospel.

@Tony9712262 He does, how he lets this happen is a wonder.

[dacatholicbandorgan]

I think the Pope vomited a little in his mouth.

I must ask. Why is the dancing more important than say the Kneeling for Communion on the muddy cold ground by a number of faithful which was also filmed?
