It’s not about perpetual virginity. Not at all and if it were, then one has to at least attempt to explain why it is a recent phenomenon.
Anyway: A local parish, in existence in the past quarter century, has traditional music, well done, I’ll add, at Masses. The celebrants process the Aisle in gran fashion for every Mass.
NOT theatrical, grand. Reverent.
One Sunday Mass per week is in Latin. And not the mumbling irreverent pre Vatican II, but Novus Ordo, with the translation easily recognizable - same sequence so those who complain with INSANITY that they cannot understand what’s going on - don’t get me started.
No girls on the altar. They would not dream of joking from the altar. There is no clapping not ever.
The choir is in the loft to the rear, where it belongs. It’s not a Disney production.
The music is sing able not some atheistic off beat impossible out of tune dora the explorer torturous demonic cacophony no one knows, no one cares to know and everyone hopes is over soon.
It does not suggest the congregation live like this always just one hour a week for heaven’s sake Literally.
It is a hint of heaven, otherwise, why would anyone want to go to Mass..
The priest is in vestments at all times, and garners due respect. He visits the Vatican regularly, he is not some renegade.
NO Eucharistic ministers, only deacons or seminarians and himself, on the tongue, kneeling at the rail
Full consecration, not hogging thirty minutes to joke about sports and film and UGH AAGH! welcoming out of towners, to scream through the consecration at breakneck speed to haul up every sleevles faded demin flip flop wearing gum chewer from the congregation in fifteen minutes while the congregation sits doing nothing , or tries to tam impatient kids and husbands, who have nothing to draw on in terms of envisioning heaven and if THIS is heaven, who WOULDN’T want to skip this bastardization of the mass, blamed completely erroneously on Vatican II, which does not call for this ugliness at all.
And there is NOT any hand holding, no greeting people after consecration for a handshake of peace.
All in keeping with the Magesterium and the Vatican.
These Masses are where the men can be found. Both in the congregation and on the Altar (where there are no girls allowed - there has never been a girl on that altar).
This is how to get men involved. I’m a girl, though, so what do I know?.
Gregorian Chant . That and the music - less Mass early AM.
So jealous of your parish....
