“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

Here is an oldie PODCAzT made back in 2009. How time flies.
Loading ...
‘This is the Roman Rite at her finest.’ And so now it is optional. In other words rarely said. ‘Too long’ would be the cry no doubt.
Thank you, Reverend Father Zuhlsdorf. This continues to be one of my favorite of all time podcaZts.
Father K: “And so now it is optional. In other words rarely said.”
Except on Pentecost Sunday, I assume you mean. Since it is mandatory that the Veni Sancte Spiritus be sung or said before the Allelulia in the Mass of Pentecost, according to the 2002 GIRM:
“64. The Sequence, which is optional except on Easter Sunday and on Pentecost Day, is sung before the Alleluia.”
Sadly, this Sequence is treated as optional in my parish and is never sung or said.
Except on Pentecost Sunday, I assume you mean.
Sunday, literally. The Sequence is not required at the Vigil Mass on Saturday unless the Sunday Mass is used in its place.
See: HERE
At my parish, Father came over before Mass to remind the choir director to have someone sing the sequence! Since I know it pretty well from previous choir experience, and the others didn’t, I got tapped to sing it solo. Thanks to the Holy Spirit, it went okay! But I do not recommend this….
(Everybody in choirs, remember to study up before Mass! And always read this blog to be reminded!)
On the brighter side, it is super great that Father made sure we were singing the sequence!
We had the sequence, but in English. I sung some of it that I could remember in Latin from my pew. The Veni Creator was sung in Latin during the Confirmations.
