CARDINAL MUELLER CELEBRATES MASS AT ST. PETER’S FOR THE THIRD ANNIVERSAY OF THE DEATH OF POPE BENEDICT XVI..

 The music is splendid, but some peculiarities:

1. The Mass is a hybrid of ENGLISH and Latin

2. The homily is preached in English, not Italian or German

3. It’s quite beautiful, reverent and what the Mass of Pope Paul VI should be not only at St. Peter’s but every parish in the world.

4. A note to Bishop Martin of Charlotte, please note that Holy Communion is received in a variety of ways, diversity in unity, some kneel, most stand, many receive in the hand and most on the tongue. What is important at the reception of Holy Communion is our focus is on Jesus—He is at the center even in the diversity of how our Lord is received.
