Aloysius Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 i kant wait! maybe the Novus Ordo low Mass is what we have on weekdays that takes only half an hour, no music, no creed, sometimes just two readings i think, penitential right is just the "Lord have Mercy" no confiteor, and optional homily? that could be it. i soooo gotta make plans for this to happen, Tridentine Mass is so cool! i hope he doesn't face us, i want us all facing God! unity in facing God in unison not unity in facing each other!!! <it's just symbolic, but it's still kewl!>

Aloysius Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 sweet! i'm pretty sure that's the one i was thinking of! they got an indult from Bishop Wuerl, right? <althought i disagree that it should be required, in obedience i'll only go to one with an indult> this is gonna be sweeeett... maybe we'll go like next sunday or somethin! :cool:
cmotherofpirl Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 THat is the only one that I know of in the diocese. And of course they need an indult.
cmotherofpirl Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 Byzantine I grew up with the Latin Mass. I am quite pleased with the change to the venacular and participation of the laity.
M.SIGGA Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 Byzantine I grew up with the Latin Mass. I am quite pleased with the change to the venacular and participation of the laity. is there anything you particularly miss about the TridentineR? I think the clerical dress was also pretty spectacular and made the priest look really authoritative.
cmotherofpirl Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 It looked good, and felt mysterious. I enjoy singing the Latin. You could follow along in the missal, but there was no real participation. People would be clanging and saying their rosaries, people would be standing next to your pew going to confession. Everybody paid more attention when the bells rang. But there was no balance, it was more sacrifice and little Last Supper. Now the pendulum has swung the other way. It seems more Supper than Sacrifice. I suspect we will never get it quite right, always leaning a bit to one side or another. THe Mass has changed and will change again. The best Masses have the mystery and the participation. My favorite Masses are at St. Pauls Cathedral in Pittsburgh's Oakland district. The place has retained all its grandeur and beauty of the last 100 years, and the Mass is reverant and beautiful. You don't have to worry about any liturgical surprises. You can do what you are supposed to do at Mass, immerse and lose yourself in the Body of Christ.
Laudate_Dominum Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 This is an amusing thread! I go to Latin Mass as often as I can (usually on Sundays), and I usually go to St. Boniface in Pittsburgh so I'll probably see some phatmassers there! That's so funny. :rolling:
Laudate_Dominum Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 i soooo gotta make plans for this to happen, Tridentine Mass is so cool! i hope he doesn't face us, i want us all facing God! unity in facing God in unison not unity in facing each other!!! Amen! I can't stand Masses with the priest facing the people, it's bizzare and the symbolism is whack. I recently heard that a bishop tried to require the priests of his diocese to face the people during the Mass and the Vatican said he couldn't do that, it would seem that priests can say Mass the right way whenever they want. As far as I know the Church has never told priests to face the people, I wonder how this happened? It's confusing to me. I also wonder why people stopped using the Communion rail since it's by far the most uniform and reverent way to receive. Oh well.. It probably all goes back to the silly seventies. Hippie priests in rainbow vestments and sappy folk singers holding hands and singing "hey mister tamborine man.." Anyway, I hope the Church in the West experiences a revival of more traditional and theologically correct sensibilities. Fr. George Rutler (EWTN) has described current trends as "the worst self-mutilation of Catholic culture since the Arian crisis".
M.SIGGA Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 If any of you are ever visiting New Orleans, Old St. Patrick's Church has our local Latin Mass indult (I really hope to see you all there if ever lol) Plus inside it feels like heaven http://www.oldstpatricks.org

Haha, cool! I wish I could dress up but I'm too poor to afford nice clothes. I'll wear my best but I'll probably stand out as Mr. Casual. I'll probably wear my carhartt vest. And if you happen to see someone smoking a pipe in the parking lot it's probably me. :cool:
Aloysius Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 hehe kewl. we're just called to dress our best according to our state in life! which for my crazy rich family... i should be wearing a tuxedo. :ph34r:
Richard Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 I've never been to a latin Mass either. I would love to though.
Laudate_Dominum Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 I've never been to a latin Mass either. I would love to though. http://www.latinmass.org/ This site has the best directory of Latin Masses in the country. All approved by the Church too (no SSPX stuff). It's my friends Godfather's website.
cimlog Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 Al, I can't wait to go! This will be amesome. We should set a date on phatmass and all the Pittsburghers can go with us. :lol:
Laudate_Dominum Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 yeah that'd be dope. I should be there tomorrow.
cimlog Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 I'll talk to Al. Hopefully we can do it in like two weeks or so?!?
Thy Geekdom Come Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 I've never attended, but the Diocese of Lincoln (nearby) is traditional enough to have them often. In fact, the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter is there. The FSSP (Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Sancti Petri in Latin) was a group that decided to celebrate the Latin Mass and be completely traditional, but while respecting the Pope and getting his permission (where the Lefebrites went terribly wrong).
