This meant singing songs that were easy and accessible for everyone, such as folk songs and Protestant hymns (even though many Protestant congregations would sing their hymns in 4 part harmolny, something inconceivable for Catholic congregations even today). It was all about the people first, and giving glory to God as an afterthought, if it occurred at all.Victornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-58900250614982675482017-05-28T13:30:00.046-04:002017-05-28T13:30:00.046-04:00The Mass in the film isn't the Tridentine Mass...The Mass in the film isn't the Tridentine Mass. it is the interim Mass. The film was made in 1969 and at various points in the movie you can see the free standing altar that was being used at the time. They simply removed it for this scene. Probably because it looked better on film. By the time this film was made the Mass was celebrated everywhere facing the people, the entire Mass was in English, including the canons. Just the bare boned remnants of the Tridentine Mass remained. Funny to think that just 7 years prior to this film everything in it (habitless nuns, rock bands in church etc) would have been unthinkable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-61580676786250656042017-05-28T10:43:55.774-04:002017-05-28T10:43:55.774-04:00Low Mass for our family this morning.
