Turns out the Beyoncé Mass is really a front for SJW's (so-called "social justice warriors") which is nothing more than a new name for divisive cultural Marxism...
"The pastor of a San Francisco progressive Episcopal church is defending his support for holding the first-ever “Beyoncé Mass.”
“I know there are people who will say using Beyoncé is just a cheap way of trying to get people in the church,” said Jude Harmon, the founding pastor of the Vine, a ministry of Grace Cathedral Church. “But Jesus used very provocative images in the stories he would tell to incite people to ask hard questions about their own religious assumptions. He regularly provoked. We’re following in the way of Jesus.”
The event was part of a series the church called “Speaking Truth: The Power of Story in Community,” which it said would tell stories of those traditionally marginalized in Christianity, such as women and people of color. You know, women like Beyoncé.
The series began with a program on Mary Magdalene called “The Original Nasty Woman.” The ministry equated Mary Magdalene to Hillary Clinton saying “strong, smart women being insulted and marginalized by agents of patriarchy is as old as time.” The church claims that if Mary Magdalene were here today, she would be “wearing a pink hat and marching with all who wear that epithet, ‘nasty woman,’ as a badge of honor.”

No explanation was offered as to why the devoted follower of Jesus was seen in such a light."
WND
uhmmmm.....
1- How is Beyoncé a representative of "marginalized" women? She is a successful multi-millionaire...
2- Comparing Hillary Clinton to Mary Magdalene is over the top.
3- What "patriarchy" marginalized Hillary? She was a First Lady, U.S. Senator, U.S. Secretary of State and Presidential candidate of a major party...How does she represent someone "marginalized"? Also,as for being "insulted" everyone in the public political arena gets insulted. Just ask the most maligned female politician in American history-Sarah Palin. Why should Hillary be treated any different?
4- And NO, Mary Magdalene, who became a follower of Christ, would Definitely NOT be in an angry mob of militant feminists wearing a "pink hat". She would have nothing to do with that spirit that drives that sort of bitter politics.
Soooooooo...it appears that the Beyoncé Mass is nothing more than a pastor using his church to promote his own bitter, nasty secular political worldview...
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes,
until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
Psalm 36:2
