Can you say "quinceanera"???

Dear Novus Ordo Watchers:

This is in reference to your apparent outrage over a scene in a Catholic Church, to be found here:

It is accompanied by the following comment:

"What the heck is THIS? YOU figure it out."

Well, I did, and it wasn't hard.

It is the custom among Latinos, that when a young lady reaches the age of fifteen years, her entry into womanhood is accompanied by an elaborate ceremony, known as the "quinceanera." The preparations can be quite lavish, often reaching the cost equivalent to a wedding. A blessing at the parish church is neither uncommon, nor is it to be considered, by any means, a mere post-conciliar innovation.

But don't take my word for it; read the following...

...and now, having disgraced someone's innocent daughter on the Internet, FOR NO DAMN GOOD REASON (!!!), the standards of gentlemanly conduct (as is to be found among all good Catholic men, at least those of my acquaintance) would appear to require you to issue a retraction, and apologize.
