Celebrated by Bishop Baker AD ORIENTEM, <br /><br />Am I wrong in wondering whether an EWTN-televised ad orientem OF Mass--with silent offertory, Roman canon, no handshake of peace, communion on tongue kneeling at altar rail with hands under houseling cloth--is potentially more significant than a televised EF Mass (other than one cum or coram papa)?<br /><br />In case anyone wants to record it, this Mass will be re-broadcast on EWTN at midnight (ET) tonight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-9379232990218303252012-05-19T14:28:45.965-04:002012-05-19T14:28:45.965-04:00I would also like for you to note that, yes, that ...I would also like for you to note that, yes, that altar at St. Mary's in Norwalk is exclusively an ad orientem altar!

The title's unstated assumption is that no reasonable person could possibly want to go "backward." If the article had used the term "restoration" in it, you know at the outset that it would be a very different article with a very different view of the past 50 years.Hammer of Fascistshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08647227447212096501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-58230335616823061022012-05-19T12:59:48.538-04:002012-05-19T12:59:48.538-04:00I wasn't finished posting yet!

By extension, he destroys liberal modernist theology and liturgy as well.<br /><br />I promise it's very interesting and will hold your attention quite well.<br /><br />Architecture, specifically church architecture, is something that greatly fascinates me. I've always wondered what it would be like to be a priest and a church architect.ytcnoreply@blogger.com
