This is amazing. Please note from the photo how fertile this EF community is. This is from Fr. Z’s blog and Madison is his diocese. The good bishop is the celebrant for the EF Confirmation and then remains for the celebration of the EF Mass where the bishop isn’t the celebrant but rather he presides.

FOLLOW UP: Traditional Confirmation in @MadisonDiocese
It occurs to me that I did not post a follow up to our wonderful Rite of Confirmation that we had here in the Diocese of Madison thanks to the gracious generosity of Most Reverend Donald, by the grace of God, the local bishop.
On Thursday 27 August, Bp. Donald Hying confirmed, using the Traditional Roman Rite, 112 confirmands and then remained to preside at Solemn Mass coram episcopo.

Where liturgy makes a very bland building and sanctuary come alive!
Even the Mall in Saskatoon would be greatly enhanced with the altar central, throne to side and the traditional altar arrangement.
As I understand it, the conformandi came from parishes all over the diocese. They don't represent a single community's fertility.
The Tridentine Mass Society of the Diocese of Madison notes, "The deacon and subdeacon were, respectively, Fr. Alex Navarro and Fr. Brian Dulli, both of whom, as pastors of parishes, had subjects beings confirmed."
"Subjects" says a lot....
"Subjects" does say a lot, that we are subject our Christ the King, in His Kingdom. It is wonderful symbolic imagery. Of course, the bishop, as high priest of the diocese pointing to the eternal High Priest, Jesus Christ the King would have subjects, no?
"Subjects" says a lot....
I don't take it that way. To me, this is just elevated language describing an event, similar to what you would see with a wedding announcement, ordination announcement etc. Points of etiquette that have fallen out of use by much of the mainstream (for better or worse....probably skewed toward worse) seems to be part of the experience in many TLM communities.
Romulus Augustus here, A fantastic sight to see!!! And those silly Novus Ordonarians always say it's only OLD PEOPLE who attend the Traditional Latin Mass, I say to that: FAKE NEWS, God bless these children and the good Bishop, but truly miss the late Bishop Morlino of Madison, and pray for the return of The Traditional Latin Mass to all of our altars.
Romulus Augustus, very nice to see the "diverse races" of children there which is a wonderful example of our Roman Catholic Faith, remember LATIN binds all of us regardless of race, creed or nationality.
I have never, until reading the post of the Madison Tridentine Mass website, heard parishioners referred to as "subjects" of their pastors.
"Elevated" language"? Yes, it seems the pastors are being elevated as rulers of the people in their parishes. That's not a priest's function - at all.
Object Kavanaugh,
You are always so predictable in your leftwing view of the world, so predictable that you are as boring as Mark Thomas, our other predictable lefty!
Western Wisconsin...what a place! God has blessed his Church there in a special way. Bishop Morlino was fantastic and his replacement seems a man of the same vision. La Crosse has Cardinal Burke's shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe and the fearless preacher Fr. James Altman. These are two dioceses where an authentic Catholic priest doesn't have to look over his shoulder every time he affirms the truth or follows tradition. They actually have the support of their bishops! Young men seeking a vocation, pay attention. These two dioceses are fertile ground where you can actually be a priest without postconciliar noise and interference.
Romulus Augustus here, so a priest in New York Cit the other day was live streamed and the priest led the congregation AT MASS to affirm that WHITE PRIVILEGE is unfair and must be denounced which he led the congregation in saying so! It was Father Kenneth Boller S.J. of St. Francis Xavier church in New York City and as sheep do they answered Father Boller in saying YES we are guilty of white privilege as large pictures of the "NEW MARTYRS" in the Roman Catholic Church were placed around the altar: George Floyd, Brianna Taylor and other new Catholic martyrs. Now we all know how all white people are evil, Klan members and white cops wake up each morning have breakfast with their kids and wife and off they go to hunt down and kill young black men and then are promptly get fired and leaving their family alone and penniless. Now this Jesuit priest Father Boller thinks so and it must be true.
Romulus Augustus here, yes Juan, His Grace Cardinal Burke built his beautiful shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe and man o man I pray he becomes the next Pope he loves the TLM and says it as often as he can, and yes Father James Altman is outstanding please pray for these two men for the wolves are after both of them.
Juan Yepes,
Amazing what an orthodox bishop can do. The lefty bishops are utter failures
I have never heard parishioners referred to as 'subjects', and we don't refer to parish priests as 'pastors' either - the word has evangelical protestant connotations.
I always thought Americans did not consider themselves subjects in a personal sense. Until 1981 my passport described me as 'British Subject: Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies.' Now it has the bland 'British Citizen', although I am still a subject of Her Britannic Majesty. I have never heard anyone describe himself as an American Subject, let alone a subject of Donald Trump.
That is an unusual use of ‘subject’. I have noticed the use of ‘pastor’ in recent years and chalked it up to ecumenism. I have always use‘priest’ unless speaking of the function of pastoring.
There is a story of a government official traveling through the fronteir of the recently independent United States who came upon a man plowing a field. The official asked for the plowman’s master.
“He ain’t been born yet”.
I have no problem seeing myself as a "subject" of my bishop. We all could use a bit of humility in that department. It also illustrates why we need good bishops, because hirelings don't care about their subjects...they just advance their agenda, subjects be damned.
"I have no problem seeing myself as a "subject" of my bishop."
The item said they were subjects of their pastors.
You are only subjects if your pastor is “liberal.” They are far more tyrannical and unbending than their conservative counterparts - it’s their way or the highway!
Monsieur TJM - You are full of merde.
The source for the use of the term "subjects" is the traditionalist website of the traditionalist Tridentine Mass Society of the Diocese of Madison and refers to two traditionalist pastors.
Object Kavanaugh you are a mountain of merde! “Liberal” tend towards the tyrannical just like “liberal” governors
