There are churches who have a Latin mass which is useful for
overseas visitors who do not know the vernacular, and for those
who enjoy the beauty of the Latin. I went occasionally when I
worked in central London. They do, however, all say and mean
the same thing.

If before about 1962 then the Tridentine Mass was used in Latin.
After that date we use the Novus Ordo which is in English. The
liturgy is not the same for both Masses.

The core of the Mass is still the same.
There are many churches here which still celebrate a Tridentine
Mass but you may to travel a bit.
For some, a simple Mass is sufficient, it's quiet and I have to
say I always found it quite moving. However, I have enjoyed a
Tridentine Mass.

I know for certain that the Oratory near the lake in Parkdale
Near where I visited a retired journalist a month ago has a
Tridentine (Latin Mass). I don't like that area of the city, and
it is stop and go all the way by car.
Mary is content with what we already have at two local churches
so I guess I will put up with Novus Ordo.
This morning though the music was like muzak, One 'hymn' didn't
even have the writer of it printed in the hymnal. My wife was
hugged by the lector, who has a nice voice and went to choir
school for his education. Mary taught him in grade school. He
shook hands with me, so I decided not to complain to him about
his choice of hymns.Heaven forbid that I would ask for the Latin
'Agnus Dei. Some ladies on the front seats may faint.

There is a remarkable piece of writing today in The Catholic
Thing by Anthony Esolen, entitled To Build, But Expect No Help.
It means from the Catholic Hierarchy.
One of the best, religious articles I have read for ages.

Here is another one, this time a detailed description of how
words and phrases got into our everyday vocabulary , thank to
Herbert Marcuse. I read years ago, his book One Dimensional Man,
and it did not make sense to me.

He is vehemently anti Christian.

"We are travelling through a desert of illusion in our surreal
modern world with the phantasms of the human person and the
family that dominate our culture. The Wisdom of Chesterton on
the family is an oasis, from which we may draw water joyfully"

I noticed a collections envelope for tomorrow's church
collection called Special Offering
for the Healing & Reconciliation Collection. Well I tore it up
and put it in the garbage after the propaganda tv CBC broadcast
about indigenous children being 'killed' in residential schools
this morning. Not one body of one kid has been found in the so
called 'unmarked graves' of the Catholic residential schools.
We have enough problems with dissident priests who are, LGBT
advocates plus those who committed sexual offences against young
people to deal with. Our money is being spent on payouts to
victims of abuse. The money comes from the pockets orignally of
poor working Catholics who gave money to the church every week
in the past.
And today the Pope is creating 21 new Cardinals which means he
has created 121 since taking office. I wonder how many of them
believe in the authentic church dogma I believe in?

Just like Ireland the Canadian Indigenous people were treated
with contempt by the Catholic Church but in those residential
homes/schools, in Canada it was slightly worse than Ireland.
Between 1883 and 1997, more than 150,000 children taken; often
forcibly from their homes and families, and placed in distant
boarding schools where the focus was on manual labour religious
instruction and cultural assimilation, Researchers have found
records of 4,118 children who died at residential schools under
dubious circumstances. But that is just the tip of the iceberg,
In 1907, Indian Affairs chief medical officer Peter Bryce
reported some truly disturbing findings to his superiors. After
having visited 35 government funded schools in western Canada,
Bryce reported that 25 percent of all children who had attended
these schools had died; at one school, the number was 69
percent.
Reports throughout the years of these schools were awful living
conditions, hard work, hardship, poor food and little of it, so
hunger and malnutrition lead to these deaths.
To further the torture between 1948 and 1952, 1000 children were
used in an experiments on the effect of malnutrition.
Children have told stories of being forced to dig graves for
their school friends who died while suffering themselves,
children sick with TB and other diseases were placed in
dormitories with healthy children, when near deaths they were
sent to racially segregated Indian Hospitals where conditions
were sometimes worse that what they left.
Just imagine this went on in one form or another until 1997.
When the Irish and Canadian Governments and the Catholic
hierarchy are forced into allowing the excavation of these
graves then the horrible truth will be laid bare and that day is
not too far away.
In his multiple speeches over the week of his visit to Canada,
Pope Francis described the school system as a policy of
assimilation and enfranchisement, and that it harmed families by
undermining their language, culture, and worldview.
"I condemned it, taking away children, changing culture, the
mind, traditions, a so-called race. A whole culture," Pope
Francis told reporters.
"Yes, it's a technical word, genocide. I didn't use it because
it didn't come to mind. But yes, I described it. Yes, it's a
genocide."
