I think more Parishes should offer a Latin Mass.Patrick Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216168345404819458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703933675593092725.post-85104697435782057852008-07-25T15:15:00.000-04:002008-07-25T15:15:00.000-04:00hoosierpalian, am I mistaken in my understanding t...hoosierpalian, am I mistaken in my understanding that it is in fact a Mass of the Sunday obligation?Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324636915206892169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703933675593092725.post-44937237624725516382008-07-25T14:52:00.000-04:002008-07-25T14:52:00.000-04:00Odd, isn't it how people so - secure- in the One T...Odd, isn't it how people so - secure- in the One True and Only Church can be so in-secure.Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167056789275283692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703933675593092725.post-45423445716963727142008-07-25T12:19:00.000-04:002008-07-25T12:19:00.000-04:00A friend and I attended the Latin Mass at Advent, ...A friend and I attended the Latin Mass at Advent, San Francisco in April 2008, and were quite moved. I guess it does seem a little precious, but San Francisco in general has its eccentricities. If it were weekly and on Sundays, I might question, but two Saturdays a month doesn't seem excessive. Given that there were several Latin teachers and a fair number of former Roman Catholics of a certain age in attendance, the Mass *was* in a language understanded of the people!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703933675593092725.post-168017120953823702008-07-24T20:55:00.000-04:002008-07-24T20:55:00.000-04:00...and if you read far enough, you'll find among a......and if you read far enough, you'll find among all the RC triumphalism a post or two trumpeting Orthodoxy as the One True Faith.The Religious Pícarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620636294081499041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703933675593092725.post-68052343762797348282008-07-24T20:47:00.000-04:002008-07-24T20:47:00.000-04:00It didn't even occur to me to look at the youtube ...It didn't even occur to me to look at the youtube page for comments until you mentioned it. You're right, they seem quite exercised about it. The comment that got me was one complaining that the singers had <I>American accents</I> (*shudder*). Like you can't detect other national accents in Latin chant (the monks of Santo Domingo de Silos, for example, sound very Spanish to my ear, and no wonder).The Religious Pícarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620636294081499041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703933675593092725.post-34435057993631189942008-07-24T19:44:00.000-04:002008-07-24T19:44:00.000-04:00I just find it funny how threatened the Roman Cath...I just find it funny how threatened the Roman Catholic commenters seem.

I can reconcile myself to my own parish's frequent practice of using Latin for parts of the Mass during the season that the Schola Cantorum is singing, but a whole Mass in Latin? It seems a little - well, a little <I>precious</I>.The Religious Pícarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620636294081499041noreply@blogger.com
