bells and smells pl (plural only)
(informal, pejorative) A style of religious worship emphasising high ritual, including use of vestments, bells and incense, especially that of High Church Anglicanism, Anglo-Catholicism and Roman Catholicism. Although the Orthodox Church uses incense, vestment, small bells on the censer and several other pieces of ritual equipment, the term isn't applied to our Church.
