TLM in EWTN

[romeoescuyos]

A TLM at EWTN! That would be a blast! I am hoping they would produce new programs centering on the TLM for people to be informed about its significance and why it was the Mass that the Saints and Fathers of the Church assisted at and why it was the Mass millions of Catholic martyrs willingly shed their blood for.

It seems to me that in some ways, though not always overly emphasizing it, they already do.

Seems to me that captions would be even more annoying, though.

And that is exactly how the DLM (Dominican Latin Mass) felt to me, following along in the missal, trying to understand what was going on… it would have been easier to have had subtitles rather than the book…

Close Captioning with SAP is probably the best bet:
Captioning can then be turned on by those who need/want it, and the second audio program (SAP) could be the commentary, thus available to those who want it.

i think they did it once or twice on air but because of the bishops disapproval they obedeintly says the NO mass on air.
Due to the recent proclamation of the Motu Propio it is not a foggy thing for them to celebrate TLM on air.
Mother Angelica will be very happy!

Pax!!!
Instaurare omnia in Christo!!!

They had a special World Over Live broadcast last night. Raymond said that EWTN does not have an official answer yet, given how the MP is still new and still needs to have its proper interpretation expressed by the Holy See. He also saw that the current trend of not allowing Masses facing East might prevent a televised TLM.

But Benedict XVI is for Mass ad orientem, and… he is pope, right?

Bishop Foley did not prevent the celebration of the Normative Mass ad orientam. He did inform EWTN that they may not televise the Normative Mass *ad orientam. *The Mass at the Chapel in Irondale is always facing the people. The Mass at the Temple in Hanceville is celebrated ad orientam and is not televised on EWTN.

It is possible that Bishop Foley could inform EWTN that they may not televise the Extraordinary Mass from the Diocese of Birmingham, but after September 14, Bishop Foley may not prevent the Extraordinary Mass from being celebrated at either Irondale or Hanceville.

What could be the reason for not allowing the ad orientem Normative Mass be televised?

Sorry, I had a little typo, I meant the current trend of not allowing televised masses where the priest faces east. EWTN’s Bishop will not allow it, however they also stated that the USCCB also states that this is not a rule, but a guideline. So who knows what the future will bring.

Send EWTN an email explaining to them how much a beautifully done Tridentine Mass would be appreciated by so many folks. Programming comments can be sent to the address below.

Televised Masses require permission, regardless of Rites and Altar-positions, ect.

So even if the MP releases the Traditional Mass [Edited by Moderator], they will still be able to keep it from going on public television.

So are you saying that if B16 celebrates a high pontifical Mass of the nativity on christmas eve EWTN cannot show it if their bishop forbids it?

It is obvious that EWTN CAN show mass on Television. I beleive the approval of televised Mass is either a yea or nay… EWTN already has the approval to televise Mass…so I am not quite sure what you mean by your statement. The legalities clearly fall on the side of EWTN in this issue…becuase the question is whether a bishop can pick and choose which masses are forbidden on TV or if it is just for a “Mass”. With that in mind I may remember Bp. FOley doing just that…he forbade Televised ad orientum but OK’d the other. THis will be an interesting issue see unfold. I think doing TLM with subtitles would be an AWESOME way for people to learn the Mass.

I think Bishop Foley might allow it just for the TLM. I saw Eastern Rite Mass done ad orientam not too long ago and they didn’t get in trouble. So I believe they will be allowed to show a TLM. By the way, I think many years ago, Bishop Foley himself offered Mass ad orientam in the old chapel. I know it said a bunch of things about ad orientam issues in the Mother Angelica book by Raymond Arroyo.

Does Bishop Foley, as administrator (but not it’s bishop and ordinary, save in “emieritus”) of the diocese even have authority to make such decisions or changes, anymore?

 

[JW10631]

As administrator, Bishop Foley can enjoin EWTN from televising the NO Mass ad orientam - if it originates from his diocese - and he can enjoin them from televising the TLM - if it originates from his diocese - if he so chooses.

Bishop Foley cannot prevent EWTN from televising a Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom.
Bishop Foley cannot prevent EWTN from televising a *Quorbono *of the Maronite Catholic Church.
Bishop Foley cannot prevent EWTN from televising a TLM from St. Peter’s at the Vatican celebrated by the Holy Father - which is broadcast by the Vatican’s own TV network and carried by EWTN.
No Catholic bishop dares prevent that from being televised.

Getting into Trouble. What would they having been doing wrong??

 

[JW10631]

There is no such thing as an “Eastern Rite Mass”.

Last year, EWTN televised the Liturgy of - I think - the Syro-Malankar Catholic Church. They are from India and they have an Eparchy - or Archdiocese - in Chicago.

In any case, Bishop Foley is a Bishop of the Latin Church and has no authority over the Liturgy of any Eastern Catholic Church.

love to see a TLM on ewtn.

The bishop can (and did) restrict the televising of masses said within his diocese. Since most of the EWTN masses are filmed within that diocese, it’s quite an effective impediment.

It’s like saying “Sure, you can wear hot pink hot pants to school… so long as you wear a modest dress or trousers over them.”

The televising of the Pontifical Masses, since they are under the authority of the Pope, is the Pope, or his designee(s). Since they have standing permission to televise papal masses filmed by the Vatican Television Office, from said office, well, gee…

Oh, and on the issue of “Eastern Rite Mass,” the Quorbono is often referred to (including on the english version of the patriarchal web site) as the Mass for English use. It’s not quite proper, but it is accepted.
