“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Was this the Dominican rite? If the Roman, was that the first time it was publickly celebrated there, not just since the Council, but ever?
Father, I think you mean Blackfriars in Oxford, not London (where Blackfriars is now an Underground and railway station).
Beautiful altar. You know, in someways, I think the plain sanctuary walls help bring out the altar more, which is the focal point of any liturgy.
Likewise, some of the oratories that are erected are a blessing, as they sometimes have the same characteristics
Yup, that’s Blackfriars, Oxford. . .and Fr. Simon Gaine, OP, presiding. And the dalmatic the deacon is wearing is the one I wore when I was ordained there in 2004. It is really heavy and hot. One of the cheeky English ladies at the garden party after the ordinations said I looked like an unusually large Chinese peasant woman on her wedding day! English humor, heh.
Fr. Philip, OP
I was there! This beautiful Mass (Roman, not Dominican Rite) was followed by a well attended procession through Oxford led by Fr Leworthy FSSP along the route the 4 martyrs took to the gallows. Wonderful day despite the rain.
As viennaguy points out, it was Roman Rite, but the entire Sanctuary party (with the exception, of the MC, were Dominican. This is rapidly becoming an annual event; there was one held last year as well. The Sacred Ministers were: Fr. Simon Gaine, OP- Celebrant, Fr. Richard Conrad, OP- Deacon, and Br. Lawrence Lew, OP- Subdeacon. It was the first time, I think, that Fr. Simon celebrated High Mass in the EF.
