The soundtrack’s on Amazon:I have been racking my brain and I can not for the life of me tell is this is an actual hymn or something made solely for the movie. If it is an actual hymn, what is it’s name? I would LOVE to sing this in my choir if it is an actual hymn.

Verse 11, ps. 31. It is also an approved antiphon for that psalm in the Divine Office.Laetamini in Domino, et exsultate justi: et gloriamini omnes recti corde.
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.
Not odd at all. There are traditionally three kinds of mitre in the EF: precious, gold and simple. The precious mitre was worn for processionals, but replaced with the gold mitre for other parts of the rite. This is still done in places where the EF Pontifical Mass is celebrated.Oh well, it is made up for I suppose by the beautiful Latin of the actor playing the bishop (whose mitre oddly changes color).
I wondered if that was so. It seems that they went out of their way in that movie to be authentic, right down to the disheveled fringe on the fabric of a magnificent service (the already mentioned choir, that ridiculously fast procession, which I’m sure is just the way they would have done it). Can you tell me if, in a pontifical Mass, the prayers at the foot of the altar would be said standing up? it is the only other potential flaw that I noticed. Incidentally, portions of Stephan Fermoyle’s consecration as bishop are also on Youtube, and most of this was cut in many prints of the film.Not odd at all.

You are VERY lucky to have been able to attend this type of ordination. I can only dream of it. I don’t know why, but I thought the procession was just right. I think too much attention is paid to a procession these days. I would MUCH rather have the old prayers than a long procession.I wondered if that was so.

Again remembering back to my childhood, I recall the “adsum” of all the candidates and at the time thought they must be saying something profound (like “I will serve God to the end”), when all they are really doing is acknowledging their presence to a roll call.
Only altar servers would kneel for the prayers at the foot of the altar. The sacred ministers at a Solemn Mass (celebrant, deacon, subdeacon) always stand. At a Pontifical Mass the assistant priest in cope, the two deacons of the throne and the chaplain to the Ordinary also stand.I wondered if that was so.
