“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.”

So beautiful…I would have loved being there. Thanks for the images, Fr. Z. On a side note, that still shot of Archbishop Sample gave me quite a start. I instantly thought of Father Percy Franklin as Pope Sylvester III from The Lord of the World. That is just how I pictured him.
Smells and bells, chant, the inimitable FrZ…life is good, God is greater…
Re: Loïc Lawin’s video —“I wonder if there is more.” Me too.
I was so excited to smell incense when we walked into church this morning. Only to be flummoxed by the pre-Mass “procession of the binder of names of the dead” , led by a man with a Tibetan prayer bell, followed by a man and a woman each carrying aloft a smoking clay pot of incense. I wondered to my wife in which version of the Roman Ritual father found that!
Thanks, Father, this has cheered me up no end!
Why did people sit down halfway through the Gloria?
Mariana – From my admittedly limited experience ar Missa Cantata at home – it’s because they are mirroring what the celebrant is doing. The celebrant recites the Gloria and then sits, so the faithful sit and the choir finishes singing the Gloria which takes longer than reciting it.
If I am incorrect I trust one more experienced here will advise in fraternal correction.
I spy Fr. Barker FSSP!
Thanks, CaliCatholicGuy! No Missae Cantate around here, but as it actually looked and sounded like our Novus Ordo Masses I temporarily forgot I was watching an EF Mass!
I guess the Vatican will say this is all “too rigid”….bla,bla
