Yes, it is a real link. It is rather easy to tell. Simply roll over the link and look in the bar that comes up in the lower part of your browser. “Vimeo” is quite a legitimate website.
 
yes, i am well aware of what vimeo is. i just don’t like trolls, and links that lead to who knows what. that’s all!
 
good video. although, wow, that church was awfully uncatholic looking.

It’s obviously a parish which was built post-Vatican II. My home parish
is similarly constructed. That’s what makes it appear odd to celebrate
the Tridentine mass in what is a building made to offer the Novus Ordo.
Kudos to the women in head dress !

The parish is listed here:
ecclesiadei.org/masses.cfm#Florida

btw here is a recent full EF mass video

I’d think it better to have the Tridentine Mass celebrated in unadorned churches than to restrict it to only ornate churches, especially considering there are areas where there are no ornate churches around.

I think it better to celebrate it in all churches!
 
I have never been to that particular parish, but I have been to many other parishes where the EF is celebrated. What I truly liked about the video is the fact that it reflects what one finds among traditionalists in the mainstream Church. It is a love for the Tridentine mass, not a rejection of the Pauline mass.

It’s approach to the Tridentine form is a very positive one and this resonates with me. I love to be able to say that I attend mass because I have found something rather than because I’m running away from something else. This is what the priests in this video do. They do not speak about what they’re running from, because they’re not running from anything. They’re running to something that they have found.

My personal experience with the Tridentine mass was watching it as a kid. I had no idea what was gong on. Now, as an adult, I understand what’s happening. I’m also very fortunate to speak Latin rather well and to have been trained in the celebration of the Tridentine mass so that I could help train priests who would like to learn it. The more you review it, the better you understand it and the greater your appreciation for it.

But the beauty of this video is that it promotes an appreciation for the form. It’s not a campaign to convert everyone away from the Ordinary Form or to replace the Ordinary Form. This kind of campaign I find troublesome and I respond to with assertiveness.

The mass is always holy and it does not need to be marketed. However, man is hungry for God and he does need to be invited to find him. This can be in the Tridentine form as welll as the Pauline form. The key is that we invite, not campaign.

This video is a beautiful invitation. Thank you for sharing it.
 
Thank you so much for the link. This is one of the best videos I have seen promoting the EF.
 
Very nice. Interesting to see the Tridentine Mass celebrated in such a modern church building. Thank you for sharing this.
 
The woman’s lips are moving as if she is trying to say something right before she receives communion in the video. Thought that was strange.

At 2:45? I noticed that as well. Perhaps a prayer?

The Latin Mass is very new at this parish where the video was filmed. It is possible that the woman was just saying “Amen” since some people might not know that you are not to say anything after receiving Holy Communion! 🙂

The parish is one of the newer ones built in the Diocese of St. Petersburg. Yes, It does not look like a traditional Catholic Church, but fortunately it does have kneelers and beautiful stained glass windows unlike some of 1970’s churches in our diocese. As you probably know, a priest can’t decide where he is assigned! We are just grateful to finally have another Latin Mass in this diocese.

God Bless!

I beg to differ. That church is very Catholic looking. Check out the outside during the first few seconds. Then slow down your browser or pause it and drag the marker so you can see all of the Catholic elements in this Church. You won’t see stations in a Protestant Church. Except for Anglican churches, Protestants don’t have statues in the churches or kneelers in their pews. The front panel of the altar is very Catholic. I also like the fact that it’s bright and airy. You can see from any point. If you’re preaching, you can see everyone with one glance.

Thank you for sharing!

And I hate to say it, but that was actually a pretty nice modern church. Not great, but nice. It actually looked like a church instead of the usual outcome of modern church architecture, the Starship Enterprise.
