I forgot something important…

This video sharply condemns the choir’s previous director…a dangerous game.

Especially suited for the Ordinary Form—and did you spot the invertible counterpoint?

“Look with favor, we beseech Thee, O Lord upon these offerings here before Thee…”

We won’t be singing “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” for Offertory!

…Victoria lives, thanks to fine youngsters such as these!

Including a video snippet taken in Los Angeles.

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice.”

When I print this entire booklet, the Communion inexplicably erases every clivis in the psalmody.

Good people really do exist.

Make sure to read the translation of the Offertory Hymn—so gorgeous!

“…there are, in the core of the Church’s sacramental teaching and experience, good contentions and corollary arguments to be made for both practices.” —Archbishop Naumann

…for the new FSSP Apostolate in Los Angeles.

A $12,000 reward will be given to anyone who can produce a Vatican II document mentioning “celebration facing the people.”
