Posting these serves what purpose exactly?

The purpose was to show the contrast between the Traditional Mass - “The Mass of the Saints” - and “a fabrication, a banal on-the-spot product”.

Cardinal Ratzinger: "J.A. Jungmann, one of the truly great liturgists of our time, defined the liturgy of his day, such as it could be understood in the light of historical research, as a ‘liturgy which is the fruit of development… What happened after the Council was something else entirely: in the place of the liturgy as the fruit of development came fabricated liturgy. We abandoned the organic, living process of growth and development over centuries, and replaced it, as in a manufacturing process, with a fabrication, a banal on-the-spot product".

Fair to say “humor” was a cover story?

I would prefer to believe the originator of the thread re them just being because he found them funny but I also believe caution that this does not end up being done for very wrong reasons.

I don’t think so. I laughed when I saw them. If course, it was probably wrong to laugh at sacrileges. But then came the heavenly beauty of the Traditional Masses, which raised my miind from a state of disgust to a state of elevation and marvel at the beauty and reverence.

Of course, if someone prefers a clown masses to a real Mass, they might take offense at the contrast, since what they prefer is being ridiculed… as it should be. God deserves much better than the average Novus Ordo Mass.

NOTHING we do

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - including the TLM - is anywhere near what God deserves.

Ohhhhhh… so we should just stop trying! I get it now… Thank you so much. Until you clarified things, i couldn’t figure out why masses where I live are so offensively awful 🤷

Do you seriously believe that we shouldn’t be offering up the most reverent mass we possibly can? There can be very little (intelligent) debate over the fact that the TLM is the far better choice.

True, but there is a big difference between our very best and sacrilege, between holy magestic beauty and profane novelties.

In the Old Covenant the high Priest would enter the holy of holies once a year. Only the high Priest was allowed to enter. Around his ankle was a rope, with small bells on his robe. Do you know why? Because if he performed the sacrifice without the necessary reverence and devotion, God would strike him dead. The bells would jingle when his dead body hit the gound and they would drag him out with the rope. If he survied, they would throw a party (I forget the name of the party).

And just think, the sacrifice that the Priest of the old Testament made was only that of an animal - a mere “type” of the sacrifice of the Mass.

Yet today we have no problem with Priest say Mass in clown costumes; and when someone states that God deserves better, the clown Mass and other sacrileges are justified by saying that “we can do nothing anywhere near what God deserves”.

What God expects is our very best.

That’s just it my friend - the only thing that can meet what God deserves is God Himself. And that is what was given to God the Father by God the Son on the cross on Calvary. And that Sacrifice - which is the only act of worship truly worthy of and fitting for God - is eternally given to Him in heaven, and by the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, this same Sacrifice is given to Him on and from our altars here on earth.

See, the the mass ain’t something we do - it’s something Jesus does for us in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is the only worship worthy of God Himself because it is God Himself.

And it is precisely because of this that we should approach as best we can with such awe and reverence and humility as to outwardly show what we claim to inwardly believe.

And that my friend, in a nutshell, is the argument “traditionalists” have been trying to vocalize for decades. And it’s a pretty darn good one.

Peace in Christ,

Great videos, thanks for sharing. The comparison and contrast hits the nail on the head.

Eilish Maura, I see you don’t like these videos. Let me ask you, do you condone the horrible atrocities and liturgical abuses which we find at the beginning of the videos? Would you not rather have it replaced with the mass of all ages (i.e. the Traditional Latin Mass)?
 
God killed someone in the Old Testament for simply touching the Ark of the Covenant. How much more holy is the True Ark, every Church that holds in repose the Body of Christ?
 
I think what Elisha finds troubling is the insinuation (confirmed by several posters here) that the form of the Mass is somehow the cause of the abuse. Such assertions are stupid, unfounded and, to many, offensive. After all, I think many traditionalists here would be upset (and rightly so) if someone proposed that the training of priests in the Traditional Latin Mass led to the sexual abuse of children. Could we just excuse that as “funny”?
