No one’s trying to destroy the church

The very structure of the Mass including the Tridentine Mass presupposes a congregation or at least servers.

@@nicholasholiday941 Yet people here robustly defend the practice of private Masses. The entire practice is absurd. We're not going back to 1960. What's done is done.

@@MarkEliasGrant Angels are present in every mass. Especially masses offered in prayer, even without a congregation. There's a reason in the Missal of St. Pope John XXIII the term Private Mass is not used. Pope Paul VI also wrote in his encyclical Mysterium fidei (1965) that "even if a priest celebrates it privately" a Mass is not private but "an act of Christ and of the Church".

@@setonix9151 Mass is not a private affair. Not any longer. It has returned to the state of the early Church in which those attending are participating, and it is a rare exception that anyone should have a "private Mass". Nope. No longer.

@@MarkEliasGrant I mean you are just out right stating Nope. No longer, without you know actually telling reasons why. Masses celebrated in homes are still a thing. It still is a thing in the new rite. Under GIRM 252+ as Missa cuius unus tantum minister participat. (Mass in which only one server participates) Mass is still prayed for the faithful departed or votive masses for let's say peace. The practice has existed atleast since the 6th century (sources within Dialogues of St. Pope Gregory the Great) It was practiced by the Saints for over 1000 years and it is still practice now despite your protestations

Yes, if you are part of the Roman Catholic Church and can find a Vetus Ordo mass you can go to any one you want.

Even without acolytes Sung Mass can still be celebrated. But Sung Mass can't be proceed without chantor as the priest can't sing the proper while saying the prayer

Sursum Corda ❤✝️

If forced..yes..but, I think your impression is that a private low mass has to have an acolyte/altar server/boy..a priest can and should do a missa solitaria (low mass without server) at least once a day..if not more..as many as possible as not to break canon law..and IMHO..it should be spaced out so as the priest to not become inebriated, but I feel the medieval model of a priest being able to say as many masses as possible (within reason and being moderate) is the best way to go..more masses, more graces for the Church and world, the better..but if a priest were to get 10 different stipends for 10 different mass intentions, he should be able to say them all within one day..again IMHO 😊..and more than likely, they would all be missa solitaria +++God bless Mary protect +++

Most beautiful referent Mass Traditional Mass , the comment below is correct , God bless

It's called a pellegrina, it's a clerical vestment that may not be the custom in some places, it is more common for bishops to wear them, though lesser ranking clerics and lay altar servers can wear it as well, usually in the context of a ceremony or in solemn feast days.

The servers are wearing mozzettas, not because it is cold, but rather because it is a symbol of the vows they have professed. Those black shoulder capes (mozzettas) are a symbol of the burden of the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience which they profess as religious.

Because it may was a low mass and not a high one.

Psalmus 31,9-10

Most of the responses said during the introductory rite is said by the servers only, e.g. the Confiteor and the Kyrie. Throughout the Mass, the priest will turn momentarily to the congregation and say, "Dominus vobiscum" (the Lord be with you), to which everyone responds with "et cum spiritu tuo" (and with your spirit). After he says "oremus," he will say a prayer at which it will be clear when to say "amen." There's also "Gloria tibi, Domine" (glory to you, Lord), "habemus ad Donimum" and "dignum et justum est" ("we lift them up to the Lord" and "it is right and just"), and "Deo gratias" (thanks be to God). It is actually much simpler than it may seem. If you have the opportunity to attend a Latin Mass you definitely should!

@@henrylansing9734 this is not completely true

@@henrylansing9734 too simple for me

Very probably out of personal choice (e.g. lack of confession)

I agree.

Surprisingly, Vatican 2 never said to turn the altars around. Read the documents of the council. There’s a lot of misconceptions about it.

​@@doctorboss8340 do you often find that before vatican 2 the priest would face the congregation?

@@jblackacre2325 I bet you’ve never read any of the documents of the council. A lot of the stuff you see now were never said to be done by the council. Please read the documents. Thanks.

@@doctorboss8340 do you often find it difficult to answer a direct question?
