I seem to be constantly banging on about the Latin Mass and also how a Mass celebrated in a church under the rule of the priests Society of St Pius X is, truly, extraordinary.
Why should that be?
Because the SSPX churches only ever host the Latin Mass; the sanctuary is untainted by odd bods who stroll across at various times during the day, no Eucharistic ministers (ever) no female servers, no 'Shine, Jesus, shine' only sacred chant that catapults us back to the plaintive chants of the Jewish priests in the temple.
No one gives a bow when crossing in front of the tabernacle, communion rails are in place - all is right and proper.
The altar servers are young and competent, the priest reverent and practising full custody of the eyes.
This video clip is from the SSPX church in Paris, St Nicolas du Chardonnet.
A beautiful church and a fitting house for Almighty God - allow yourself an hour or so to pray and enjoy this most moving Mass..........

One of the Youtube commentators makes the following statement:
"If this church in Paris is occupied by the SSPX, GOD BLESS THEM !!! I'd rather go to a Traditional Latin Tridentine Mass like theirs than the diocesan approved Novus Ordo "Mass" in my local parisn in Florida, U.S.A. I don't even go there anymore. The church looks like an auditorium - no statues, a wooden table for an altar, the tabernacle is hidden away in a little corner and their music is worldly and boring. Also, most people go to church wearing shorts and flip-flops. It's just horrible!"
