Thousands Wowed by Co-Cathedral

An interesting piece from Houston:

Pomp, circumstance and celebration was surely the order of the day downtown.

It was the dedication of the new Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart.....

Ten years of planning, three years of building and several trips across an ocean were needed to create the new Galveston-Houston Catholic Archdiocese Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in downtown Houston.....

Cardinal Daniel DiNardo led the congregation in a traditional Catholic mass....

But this one statement struck me as odd...a "traditional Catholic mass". Was there no liturgical dancing? No clowns? No puppets? Was Holy Mass celebrated with too much reverence, awe, and mystery? Was there no "make-it-up-as-we-go-along" bits by the celebrant?

It's telling when such a statement is placed into an article like this.
