“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."

Wait, what? Something good actually happened in a German Catholic church? Well, stranger things have happened I guess.
Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen, Herr Zebaoth!
How beautiful are thy dwellings, oh Lord of Hosts!
I fell in love with Church architecture at the age of 16 while looking up at the massive facade of the Cologne cathedral on a trip to Europe with a priest and a few other young men,
I later fell in love with the Church’s doctrine, liturgy, philosophy, and theology.
This warms my heart.
Is the Paschal Candle out and lit?
This is not the Pascal Candle.
It’s a votive candle offered by the cologne carnival organization during a service (not a mass) in january. It will burn up to ash wednesday.
For info: the early morning Mass (7AM as I recall?) in Cologne Cathedral is always ‘ad orientem’ as it is celebrated in a small side chapel where the altar is v firmly fixed to the wall. When I attended it was a NO Mass in German, celebrated v reverently. The Cathedral is beautiful – and HUGE! Do go if you ever have the chance.
Slightly off topic: I wish more UK parishes would offer early morning Mass like this for those on the way to work. In the USA provision for workers on the way to work seems to be very good – I have been to early Masses in Las Vegas, New Haven, Scottsville CA etc and will be going next week in central Atlanta. In the UK they are pretty much non-existent – Why?
Martin B,
Thank you. I did not know that. I did not think offerings of large ornate candles were still being made. Glad to know.
