Wonderful,

Many thanks for posting that link Whosebob. Always wanted to see this video in higher Quality.
 
I’m surprised I dont see traditionalmass.net/ being listed. It has the quicktime videos (in parts) of a few different Classical Roman Rite Masses. FSSP Ordination, Pontifical High Mass, Pontifical Low Mass, Sunday Solemn Mass in the Presence of a Bishop and Confirmation. There is also a video of Sunday Compline and a Mass in the Ambrosian Rite.

Note: keepvid.com/ allows one to download youtube and google video streams onto one’s computer. Being able to view these offline makes things much easier when sharing it with others who may have an interest.

Then allow me to invite you to my parish where every Mass is offered with the utmost reverence and respect. Where lots of ladies wear veils and lots of people receive holy communion on the tongue…some even genuflect before receiving.

The possibility for “reverent” celebrations in the new rite is perhaps is the weightiest argument against it. There is a certain articifiality about liturgy which “makes possible” or “permits” the use of altar rails, veils, communion on the tongue, altar boys, patens, bells and smells. In Martin Mosebach’s recent book, The Heresy of Formlessness, he puts the case most eloquently:

“Perhaps the greatest damage done by Pope Paul VI’s reform of the Mass (and by the ongoing process that has outstripped it), the greatest spiritual deficit, is this: we are now positively *obliged *to talk about the liturgy. Even those who want to preserve the liturgy or pray in the spirit of the liturgy, and even those who make great sacrifices to remain faithful to it – all have lost something priceless, namely, the innocence that accepts it as something God-given, something that comes down to man as a gift from heaven. Those of us who are defenders of the great and sacred liturgy, the classical Roman liturgy, have all become – whether in a small way or a big way – liturgical experts. In order to counter the arguments of the reform, which was padded with technical, archaeological, and historical scholarship, we had to delve into questions of worship and liturgy – something that is utterly foreign to the religious man. We have let ourselves be led into a kind of scholastic and juridical way of considering the liturgy. What is absolutely indispensable for genuine liturgy? When are the celebrant’s whims tolerable, and when do they become unacceptable? We have got used to accepting liturgy on the basis of the minimum requirements, whereas the criteria ought to be maximal. And finally, we have started to evaluate liturgy – a monstrous act! We sit in the pews and ask ourselves, was that Holy Mass, or wasn’t it? I go to church to see God and come away like a theatre critic.” (emphasis added)

For those who don’t know, The Heresy of Formlessness is a collection of essays written not from the perspective of a theologian but that of a literary writer. Mosebeck is an award-winning German author whose book helped to bring the debate on the liturgy to a wider public in Germany. It is available in English from Ignatius Press.
 
Wow thank you for the link…it is JUST the same at my church each Sunday. the low Mass is offered first then the Missa Cantata. However, I noted some of the ladies were mantilla less…this is rather surprising!

I truely think the nub of the difference between the old and the new is that the new allows for improvisation and novelty whereas the Tridentine Mass is timeless.
