“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z

I’m going to write a liturgical dance to celebrate – I jest!
LOL..classic!
That’s fantastic!
Hehehe Brilliant!
Tears of joy and laughter watching this one!
Irulats: same here! Laughing til I cried, and tears of joy too! And I’ve never even attended a TLM yet! Tomorrow in Mableton Ga, will be my first experience of the TLM, at high mass! Looking forward to it eagerly!
Interesting. There’s a variance on the date of the March 2006 Consistory. Was it the 22nd or the 23rd? If there can’t be agreement on dates, it’s no wonder that tranlsations are skewed.
Fr. Z.,
Sorry if my last post was in the wrong place. I thought this was the section on translation problems.
That video is a HOOT! God grant Pope Benedict many, many years!
Great!
If you like Fathers’, this one’s pretty funny too:

Of course, and the classic:

Excellent.
That’s great. Wonderful music choices and lovely pictures. That organ piece is one of my favorites.
Hahahae! Multas quidem celebrationes hodie habebimus.
Gratias iterum plurimas tibi, Sancte Pater!
Whew! I almost turned it off during the first part of the video. I didn’t want to be reminded!
Laus tibi Domine! Gloria Deo! Viva il Papa!
It’s going to become a “period piece,” Lauren, like videos of the Monkees. Hang onto it. Put it in the shoebox with the 8-track tapes. ;)
Sorry, although I’ve got a great sense of humour, this video is in poor taste– especially in light of the beauty of Benedict’s text and his obvious desire for both a deeper liturgical life for the Church and for UNITY.
How I loved it! I have viewed it already three times! Its progress reminds me of the emotional progress of Mahler’s 2nd Symphony and Bruckner’s 9th (with his Te Deum for the last movement)
Now let’s brace ourselves for the inevitable flood of vituperation, defamation, distortion, and otherwise piercing screams of agony from out opponents – cry ranging from “Nazi†to “heresy†– and let’s keep Fr Z’s Rule #2 in mind. And let’s add a 6th rule: Answer informed and with fraternal correction. I need to observe this rule more myself.

Al, “This video has been removed by the user.”
Fr. Z,
This is a crack up. I wonder if I can get Dom Belluomini to play this after Mass on Sunday LOL LOL LOL

When was the last time you heard a progressive use the word “heretic”?
