One reaction to the Pontifical Mass in DC: “offensive… silly… undecorous” (Catholic Caucus)

I met a priest in the Seattle diocese who would not surprise me if he were the author of this email.

When I mentioned something about the absence of the tabernacle from the main sanctuary — he answered condescendingly. Gee, he would have to move his chair from the center and put Jesus in the center! (That was his attitude.)

Go figure..............and this was a Catholic priest!

Heaven deliver us from priests like this clown.

Exactly. Now can you convince (Father) Jan of this?

Priests like this are in open rebellion now that they see the Great Liberal Liturgical Experiment is over . . . and they lost.

[marshmallow]

Oh yeah.............forgot about those guys.

Archbishop Hunthausen and Archbishop WEakland were two of a kind — radical. We are fortunate that their days are past.

The last priest I knew who went to Berkeley to the Jesuit seminary program ended up leaving the priesthood. More’s the pity.

I have been told that a priest (or priests) frequently says the Traditional Latin Mass at the National Shrine's Crypt altar or the Lourdes Chapel, but these are informal, not-published-in-the-bulletin Masses.

I would appreciate any information anyone could tell me about how/when to attend one of these Masses -- or how to contact someone who does know the times (either a priest who says the Mass or a layperson who attends).

If you do not want to post on the thread, please Freepmail me.

Thanks in advance.

Found on FR many longtimes ago:

Actuosa participatio
I must quibble with the above translation of “actuosa participatio,” which is routinely translated as “active participation.” The phrase is better translated as “actual participation.”

Dictionary translations:

actuosus/actuosa/actuosum: actual.
activus/activa/activum: active.

If the intent were “active participation,” “activa” would be more appropriate.

The people who translated this were the same people who translated “et cum spiritu tuo” as “and also with you.”

Best thing for you to do is to ask Msgr. Rossi or his staff. wrr@bnsic.org

According to my source, there’s a Wednesday Low Mass during the CUA school year in the Lourdes Chapel on the crypt level of the Basilica at 11:10 am.
