Traditional Latin Catholic Mass: Easter Sunday

Back


Traditional Latin Mass filmed on Easter Sunday in 1941 at Our Lady of Sorrows church in Chicago. The film presents the ceremonies of the Missa Solemnis or Solemn High Mass in full detail with narration by then-Mgr. Fulton J. Sheen. Celebrated by Rev. J. R. Keane of the Order of Servites (hence the white habits and cowls), the ceremonies are accompanied by a full polyphonic choir, orchestra, and fifty Gregorian Chanters.

The attention to detail in the ceremonies is impressive. Notice, for example, how the servers and ministers always take great care to move in order. Notice too that the servers are all almost identical in height. The Ordinary of the Mass, composed by Rev. Edwin V. Hoover, while pleasant in places, is very much a reflection of its time. The Proper on the other hand is timeless and sung admirably by a healthy throng of Seminarians from Mundelein, Illinois.

Unfortunately due to size restrictions at Youtube around 20 mins have been cut from the original, however, I hope to upload a full version somewhere soon. In addition to the cuts I have added new captions and edited the opening credits which had deteriorated in the original. Other than this the film remains largely unchanged. Apologies for the error in the captions for the two parts of the Mass (software). The first part is of couse the Mass of the Catechumens, the second is the Mass of the Faithful.

The music composed by Rev. Hoover is very impressive. It's a pity that it isn't uploaded in full length! Does anybody know the name of this composition (Mass in E flat, etc.)

You are correct, the gates of hell will not prevail over Christ's Church. That's why She still has the Tridentine Latin Mass offered. Once Quo Primum was established, nobody could alter the Canon. Just read the popes writings throughout the centuries on this. Pope St. Pius X, pray for us.

Jurisdiction is a disciplinary matter and against reason in times like this. Unfortunately staying at home is not the solution when their are valid priests with valid orders.

Dannyboy: These people are not crazy. This is the order of the mass as it was practiced over 1800 years ago in the Latin church. It is a ceremony in memory of Christ. Secondly, the universal language at that time, in that place, was Latin. So it only makes sense that the mass was said in Latin because that was the language everyone understood. Third, your comment about the bible fails to mention that it is the Catholic Church that brought the bible to Western Europe.
