High Mass: St Cuthbert's College Ushaw 1960 (Laurence Hollis) Digitally restored

[@neilrangel2075]

I ALWAYS PRAY THAT GOD RESTORES THIS GREAT PLACE TO ITS FORMER GLORY

[@oledocfarmer]

Me too….I think it’s gonna happen! People are “done” with the ridiculous nonsense they’re offering now. Things are always darkest before the dawn.

[@ignaciorestrepo4460]

It reminds me of my time when I was a minor seminarian at the time of the Second Vatican Council. How much I miss the Holy Tridentine Mass!

[@baroqueman1]

So reverent, devotional and ,dare I say, magical. Glimpses of heaven, indeed.

[@RezaChity-G]

Hey, Pugin made this, no wonder it is so lovely.

[@PeterandBeverleyAdventures]

I remember attending Mass in St. Cuthbert’s during my time in the Junior Seminary. A magical experience.

[@muttandjeff5213]

Now this once beautiful Chapel is no more. Fire destroyed it in July 2023. Lord have mercy

[@PeterandBeverleyAdventures]

This chapel dedicated to St. Cuthbert is still there as part of the main seminary. The area that was destroyed by the fire was the old junior seminary which had a different chapel dedicated to St. Aloysius.

[@ArchiveofRecordedChurchMusic]

@@PeterandBeverleyAdventures And the old junior seminary chapel was already in a ruinous state before the fire. The main chapel is still there and as magnificent as ever.

Does anyone know the organ postlude at the end????

[@rafael6421]

Nowadays we have a table and some chairs right in front of the altar 😭

As I watch these videos from Ushaw, I find myself just shaking my head (literally). No true Catholic, I don't care who he is, would've discarded this liturgy for what we have now. Paul VI a saint? I don't think so.

[@thankcrunchiefriday]

The liturgy here is no doubt exactly what Jesus Christ had in mind for his church. When you go out to make disciples of all nations, you can bring them to this ritual in a language they can't speak every week, and the women can enjoy not being welcome to take any part in it. Take this rite in a dead European language to Asia and Africa. It's guaranteed to increase the kingdom, and keep new converts in the fold. Or have I missed the point of Christianity?

[@SATMathReview1234]

thankcrunchiefriday Yes but unironically

[@RezaChity-G]

@@SATMathReview1234 How? The point of the religion is to be saved, and those who are members of the church are to go out and herd the sheep into the fold of Christ. The Missionaries of the Catholic Church have done this, we have had the Jesuits in Asia, the Italians going up to Gaul, Saint Augustine to the English, Saint Patrick to the Irish, and Saints Cyril and Methodius to the Slavic people. All of these Holy Saints brought these people salvation.

@@thankcrunchiefriday I don't see your point. This is the Mass that evangelized China, Japan, North America and South America.
