The Sacrifice of Holy Mass
Mass is Mass.
It's perfect, whether it's celebrated in...
... the magnificent chapel at
Downside Abbey with a spiritual "army" of monks, beautiful Gregorian chant and an enormous congregation...
or in...
an icey cold
Basketball Court with only a few lay faithful...
Mass is
Perfect!
However of course one gains nothing from having Mass in a basketball court, and can only benefit spiritually by having it in a beautiful Church, where one can better focus and concentrate in order to
pray the Mass.
Here's my favorite picture, not taken by me, but edited and formatted by me of Holy Mass.

The above was composed by the same blogger who exposed the
Mohammedan horde outside Westminster (Catholic) Cathedral in London. It's good to know he's a lover of the Traditional Latin Mass.
Here's one of my favorite pictures of the Mass:
Chaplain Gerald F. Clune conducts Catholic Mass for men of Heavy Mortar Co., 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division, at Headquarters, 14 October 1951.

Wonderful photo.
That scene has been repeated over the last 2000 years with all Catholic soldiers off to war.

We have a parish that is meeting in a gym (basketball court) right now in our Archdiocese. They broke off from an oversized parish and were planning to build their own church, then everything got frozen in the bankruptcy proceedings here.
The priest who is presiding is very orthodox and I am sure the overflowing congregation is very pleased just to be meeting for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist at Sunday Mass. They also have their Sunday classes for children, etc.

The web page clearly states The Society of St. Pius X District of Great Britain. Why?

I consider myself to be very blessed that I was there. At the time, they didn't have Low Traditional Masses in the main church there. But since their "Little Oratory" was undergoing renovation, they had it there. It was literally like Fr. Faber's "little slice of heaven." There were people of all ethnicities, and all ages there. It is a spectacular church. Almost everything was imported there from Italy.

Wish I knew the date/location for this. Korea, maybe?Don't know, hard to tell. I went over to the Catholic Military website to try and find out. Didn't find anything.
It's quite humbling to view pictures as these.
