A Tale Of Two Vastly Different Masses

At long last, the third part of the Mass of the Ages trilogy has been released.  I posted both of the earlier episodes in previous posts, but that was several years ago.  You can watch the entire trilogy at the Mass of the Ages website.  I strongly urge that you do so, especially if you haven't yet seen the earlier ones.  Below this clip I will tell you of the other type of Mass.

This is a Mass that occurred at St. Teresa of Avila parish in Washington DC.  My blogging colleague at An Archdiocese of Washington Catholic alerted me to a series that he is doing regarding flagrant liturgical abuse there, based on a video taken by a friend of his at that Mass.  This blogger is breaking his expose down into several segments.  I have an idea of what those segments might be, for I cheated and watched quite a bit of the clip to which he linked.  Please be checking his blog during the next several days. 

Now what do you think the chances are that Cardinal Gregory will take corrective measures?  My guess is that those chances are slim to none.  However, he was quick to quash a thriving Latin Mass at St Mary's Church in the Chinatown area of Washington.  On the one hand, there is a dissident parish with a guy dressed in imam get-up reading the Gospel, followed by a woman giving the sermon, but the Latin Mass was a problem?

Please give not one more red penny to this diocese until they get their priorities in order.

Mass Of Ages, Part 2

Last August I posted the first of a trilogy of movies known as the Mass of the Ages.  Click here to review it.  Below is the second that just became available.  I will post the third when that is released.

Mass Of The Ages Documentary

That is the name of a trilogy of film clips documenting the Traditional Latin Mass and its vital importance for the Church and thus for western civilization.  The first installment was released today, the Solemnity of the Assumption.  I'd suggest not only that you watch it (below), but that you learn where the Traditional Latin Mass is being offered in your area and attend it at least once.  This is part of the Catholic heritage that is yours, a patrimony from which so many of us were cheated due to an erroneous implementation of the so-called "spirit of Vatican II".  

Before we can have any hope of restoring respect for life and a proper culture, we must restore the right worship of God.  More and more people - many of them young families - are discovering this truth.  

More information about the publishers of this series can be found here.  As the subsequent installments are released, I will post those also.  And now, the video.
