Matthew 24:3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Christianity will vanish into the mists of an ancient time and studied academically like all long vanished religions. We are trapped by our fear of meeting a future without purpose but there is purpose within our hearts as we engage the needy. There is purpose in the needy and they are our transcendence. BTW I do love the Anglican Prayer Book tradition and it too brings forth the transcendental into my life.
The Eastern Orthodox Church is the true Church. The Romans are just a branch of the early Unified Church of Christ. It was Rome who left by teaching false doctrines and changing the Ecumenical Creed. Protestants are just a branch of a branch...and many are branches of branches on and on. Wikipedia has a fairly good article on Eastern Orthodoxy. All religions have their good and bad points...it's the people who make it what it is.
As an Anglican a total privilege that you have got this copy. A most wondefrul day for FR Haake, he must have good friends, hope things have worked out.
I hope he does not compromise like we see too many places on here.
Most Protestants hate us because they are jealous..Protestant means "protest" and they protest the true church because they are poseurs and want to come here to bash Jesus's Church because they want to feel better about the cults they belong to....The Anti-Religion types, well....They are lifeless mooks who believe in nothing hence the time on their hands to come here and bash...
@TheSeattlehawk94 The Catholic Church classifies Protestantism as a heresy, not a cult. I myself am a firm protestant. But I went to a Catholic university and am good friends with some of the priests. I was anti-Catholic until I they told me what they REALLY believe. Contrary to what protestants want people to think, the Catholic Church's salvation message is nearly identical to ours. We have a lot to agree on and should focus on unity as Jesus prayed for us in John 17.
I was an Alter server in three differenet parishs with many different priests and pastors and none of them ever trid to molest me or any of my fellow servers.
Finaly after three videos I found one where the keying is not fast like playing camptown races, If you ever get to make it to the basilica its worth the trip I been there many times not for mass but to go inside to pray, while visiting notre dame, and of course after the sunburst road race that takes place the first week of june every year and finishes on the fifty yard line of the football field its epic, and you have hundreds of people cheering you one as you finish.
Isn't it great to live in a country where you are free to worship and practice any religion you want. Don't ever forget how good we have it here. Try this in Iran and you'll be hanging from a crane.
This Easter, spread the truth like Jesus did instead of perpetuating deception and myth. Go to TruthContest (dot)com and open The Present (with religion). Read what it says if you are seeking to learn the truth of Life. Pass this on to everyone you can reach.
The singing is very nice, but what is that person doing holding her arms up in the air? This is a Catholic worship service not a football game. Please behave.
@AttorneyCJones . The woman that raised her hands is the cantor. When she raises her hands like that she is letting the congregation know that they can join in the song. Some songs are meant for the choir to sing a verse, then the congregation. The cantor lets us know when it is our turn to sing. Basically, she's saying "Everyone now!"
@gpeg58 Which is utter rubbish. These people have been Catholics their whole lives - they know when to sit, stand and kneel, and they know when to sing, for the love of God. Stop playing games with the Sacred Liturgy.
@AttorneyCJones I do apologize for my rather snarky way of saying "This woman shouldn't be doing that." JesusThroughMary is absolutely right - the Sacred Liturgy does not belong to the cantor to just do whatever she darn well pleases, nor does it belong to the Priest to allow her to do whatever she darn well pleases. WHATEVER the reason is. Catholics are smart, they will figure out when to sing.
@clyffe347 It does, a bit, but if it is to be it will be, in God's time. The Church moves in centuries and the movement for women's rights is still quite young in that perspective.
@krezzykrezz Poppycock. It has nothing to do with women's rights. It has to do with the very nature of the Priesthood. It is for MEN ONLY. The Blessed Virgin Mary - the model and summit of womanhood itself - did not stand outside of the room at the Last Supper with a sign saying "Jesus Unfair to Women" or other such garbage. If being simply "the woman" was good enough for the Queen of Heaven and Earth, it is good enough for women today. Case closed.
@clyffe347 And yet Our Father had to send the Holy Spirit to ask the Blessed and Perpetual Virgin Mary to consent to be the Mother of the only Son of the Father, begotten from Eternity, to become flesh, live a perfect life of redemption, tempted as all flesh is in every way, die on a Cross and propitiate for all the sins of all time. Wrap your head around that for a millisecond and please try not to think of all souls as male OR female for that length of time; ALL souls are "female" to God.
I was baptized on Easter back in the late '60s, so tomorrow I'm a-gonna go outside my comfort zone and attend a local church basically to just thank the Good Lord for doing what He did. Don't like singing around others ... and I worry that my breath will stink and that people won't like my face but, nevertheless, a sinner like me needs to do this anyway.

Let's see ? The Roman Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ ... I rest my case ! ... and as far as the priest molestation conversation ? you might want to check Rabbi Child Molester on Youtube ... seems that ... every time you see Headlines about a priest molestation ... ISRAEL is attacking someone in the Middle East !
Who lives by relics and Popes? You are a poor heretic that is seathing with hatred of something that you simply do not understand, In fact, you have been taught something in your religious education that states we worship popes and statues and saints and the like, when in fact, it is Y'ALL that act EXAXCTLY like the Pharasees. You think as man thinks, and can't handle the real true authority of the Church. Amazing how they judge, and are fools and blind.
If you think this is good, you should hear the music at this dioceses cathedral in fort wayne, they are not all professional, but they have a huge organ and an orchestra for special masses, like chrism mass, christmas, easter, and ordanations, as well as other special concerts. I tell you it's soo loud you can sing at the top of your lungs and you cant hear yourself sing at times. Though I think notre dame has a larger set of pipes.
@n444if Allah is Satan not God. Jesus said only false prophets would come after him and false prophets promise sexual rewards in Heaven. Mohammed was a false prophet. Ezekiel 38 names Turkey, Syria, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt as providing soldiers for Satan. They are all Islamic countries. Revelation 20 says beheading is Satan's method of killing. Read Sura 8:12, 47:4.
Allah is totalatarian, and demands killing of Jews and Christians (as Satan does)
@n444if To each His own. You belong to Allah, and I belong to God. Split hairs if you must, but in the end, I believe it to be the same. Why not look for bridges of common belief rather than divisiveness?

I like those opening trumpets...almost have a bag pipe(ish) sound to them, obviously fitting, Great opening and like how they integrated the bells in the third verse.
@mrstjs I was a member of the LCMS and I am now a Catholic. On one hand it was a difference as wide as the Grand Canyon, but I realized it was a simple step. As beautiful as the Catholic church is, it is bigger and more beautiful on the inside than on the outside. God bless you.
@d10sturg they were clapping for a newly-ordained priest who was recessing from the church for the first time. while i usually don't like clapping during Mass, i'd say this was appropriate.
Normally in my country we always clap to new married couples at the end of the marriage ceremony. We don't do it by new priests, but I think it's great - it's his "marriage". I would clap too.
Now would be the time for the Church to come completely clean and do what is right. Turn over every single criminal to the law. That would really help restore things to be more Christ like.
@ConejosGuy There will always be anti-Catholics, and Catholic Bashers ... there were 3 nuns at a major league baseball game with their nun's attire which seemed to block some of the spectators view, the nuns were listening to those annoyed "lets never go to a game with Catholics, I hate Catholics .. after hearing this through the game, the Mother Superior turned around and told one of the spectators "Why don't you GO TO HELL! There's NO Catholics There !"
@ConejosGuy I do believe that there are catholics out there who really love Jesus. I do believe that there are many catholics in heaven however I do not believe in the idea of a pope. We all represent Christ to the world and he should not be the one that everyone turns to for doctrinal questions. Christ is the head of the church and all the saints (true christians) are the ones who should be the representatives. Having a whole hierarchy like that makes the church political which is wrong.
@zemotheon12987 Well if you do not see the idea of a Pope, then I do not see the idea of a unified Church. Jesus installed the Papacy in Matthew 16:19 and through Apostolic Succession. The Church "hierachy" is to keep things in order and in place with no corruption. Look at these Baptist Churches, different doctrines ALL over. Jesus established ONE doctrine. Christ is our Head of Church. But our VISIBLE head, HUMAN head, is the Pope who leads our Church from JESUS.
@JD27076 Guy Fawkes and the other conspirators were Roman Catholics trying to kill King James and attack England because of their printing of the King James Bible. Rome and England were the bitterest of enemies. Protestant England was taking the gospel to the world through her rising empire and Rome was not about to let that happen. This is why when Alex Jones and others blame Great Britian and the bankers, it is just another attack on the once mighty empire that helped spread the truth
@nate12387 I agree - don't be so quick to condemn priests. There are teachers, baby-sitters, camp counselors, protestant pastors and coaches who all take on leadership roles to have access to children. The sad reality is that predators will always find victims. Statistically 5% of men abuse children. If only 1% of the priesthood abused children, that's 4% less than the world at large.
@damienvargas The problem isn`t with individuals, but with the institution as a whole. It is far too large and worldly and those who do these great acts, act largely independent of the immediate authority of the church. It is far too political, and legalistic having more to do with how you act rather than faith from which acts follow. Look at Martin Luther`s main attacks again Catholicism, many are still valid today.
Marin Luther was a psychopath. HE hated the Jews and women...read his book "On Jews and Their Lies"...oh yeah, Luther was a real "Christian" alright. He had NO permission from ANYONE especially scripture, to start his own church. He even rewrote scripture to suit HIS own beliefs..NO WHERE in the bible does God give ANYONE 'permission" to start their own "Church". As of 2009 there are over 40,000 "Protestant" Denominations. Is that the work of The Holy Spirit? Hardly. It's NOT the Holy Spirit.
@oofahman Oh please, everyone was prejudiced against Jews at that time, but unlike the Catholic Church Martin Luther did not actively seek out and torture them. Furthermore, he did not start his own church he resurrected the old church which had been corrupted and desecrated by disgusting practices by clergy and the Popes. Nowhere in the Bible is the practice of indulgences supported, nor is there any justification for celibacy, in fact it is directly denounced.
you need to really study your church history a lot better, my friend. THE Church did not seek out the Jews to destroy them...i notice you NEVER mentioned the many Jews THE Church DID save! Don't forget, the Church is Holy and without blemish, but it is THE HUMAN aspect of THE Church that is corrupt..NOT The church!! The sooner you understand this, the better. you also need to study scripture much deeper also. Celibacy IS Scriptural! "For those who are called to it!".
You don't need permission to be right, God is the only authority and any Pope or man who would openly attack and bar a man from expresses what is written in the Gospels is sinning against God. The Catholic Church was more corrupt than any kingdom of Europe. The very fact that a church would hold political power as such is a disgrace for the kingdom of God is not of this world. He did not start his own church, he merely restored what had been lost, and left those behind who were lost.
Show me the documentation to prove what you have said. Any document BY THE Church is available online at anytime. In typical anti-Catholic fashion, you attempt to try to destroy THE Church with lie upon lie, but remember: Truth can be proven, but a lie cannot be proven. Again back up your unsubstantiated claim with documentation,NOT YOUR PERSONAL OPINION!
@oofahman I don't need to have documents from the Church, this is where you seem to not understand me. The Bible is the only authority. In atypical Catholic fashion you seem to be assuming that real Christians should take orders from a glorified Pagan institution, idolizing statues and putting faith in false rituals rather than God. In the early church, chalices were wooden and the prelates were gold, now it is the reverse.
@xpo50 NOWHERE in the bible does it say ANYWHERE that Scripture is the only thing to use in Christianity..NOWHERE..so you err right there, my friend. The Catholic Church is NOT a 'pagan'; institution and that is why you refuse to look at the writings of the early Church fathers and other documentation that proves you, my friend, 100% WRONG...SO before you reply with more of your typcial hateful Anti-Catholic rhetoric and lies, do some more research. John 6:53, Psalm 127:1
@oofahman I think that the word of God, or Jesus Christ alone, is the ultimate authority, and his words are written in the Gospels, in the Bible. To say that any other document or message is imperative to being a Christian then we must assume that Jesus' words alone are not enough, to dismiss the resurrection and the power of God, submitting to the authority of men. Your passages only prove MY point, that living through JESUS and not Popes or relics is right.
@oofahman To me the most important thing that the Bible says is in the Gospel of St.John, chapter 3 and verses 16 and 17, That WHOEVER believes in Jesus will be saved, and that He did not come to condemn, but to save. It does not differentiate between the various branches of the church. All those, whether Catholic, Quaker, Methodist, Baptist, or any other of the many Christian groups, who put their faith in Jesus can find salvation
@trixtwin19 First off there are not supposed to BE any "Branches"of the church. The Church is ONE. Scripture is very clear on that fact. ONE ONE ONE...there are now over 40,000 'denominations' out there today and NO TWO Teach the exact same doctrines. There is too much to go into here, but ONE is the key; ONE lord ONE FAITH, ONE Baptism, not One Lord 40,000 faiths, ect.
@pipeup1 If I am not mistaken, any Bishop/Archbishop purposely walks with the crozier backwards IF HE IS NOT IN HIS OWN "JURISDICTION", for lack of a better term. Many times, Bishops of the order will come to the Basilica to ordain Priests, and since this is not his own Dioscese, it is customary to carry it backwards. (Someone correct me if I am incorrect).
@MrMaksimchuk Well I don't claim to be any type of expert on what bishops do with their croziers!! But I always understood the rule to be that because the crozier symbolises juristiction only the diocesan ordinary or the metropolitan carries a crozier. A prior/abbot carries it closed to show he only has juristiction in his priory,etc. If you see a procession with all the bishops carrying croziers I'd say that would be rare! But any liturgy experts please clarify :-)
for special occisation (spelling).....they do that in my Diocese too after ordaination in the Saginaw Diocese is where I'm from. Archbishop Carlson who was once Bishop Carlson has ordained like 11 men to the priesthood so now he's in St. Louis as Archbishop of St. Louis and now we have Bishop Joseph Cistone.
why do they start clapping when the songs not over when i went (Lutheran) the organist took a verse off i cant really tell if that's whats goin here beautiful tho
I have to say that it is much better when everyone is singing. From my experience, it seems that the entire congregation only sings christmas songs. Quite a few have sung the easter songs as well. Just sounds sooo nice when everyone sings with the choir and organ. Don't know if it is just a coincidence or something, but at the polish church I go to sometimes, it seems like more people sing the polish hymns than the english ones.
Haha. I noticed that too. A lot of times most people in my church don't sing like modern Sunday hymns like "I Sing the Mighty Power of God" or something, like they sing stuff they are familiar with like "Amazing Grace" but people on Easter and Christmas tend to sing more.
Nothing more uniquely catholic then the ringing of the communion bell, even though it is the end the mass, but still, nothing more beautiful than hearing those bells ring. I wish I heard them more often, especially during the transubstantion when the bread and wine are turned into the body and blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. During consecration, when I hear it, I know Christ is present in the sacrament of the eucharist. Very Beautiful!!!
At the former catholic church I attended, they rang the communion bells. I loved it when they use to ring the bells during the playing of the "Gloria" on Holy Thursday and Holy Staurday. At the catholic church I attend now, they only ring them from time to time for some reason.
Thanks for posting this. i'm also an ELCA Lutheran and we use the "old" Lutheran Book of Worship where it is #151. It's been the opening hymn every Easter in my church for my whole life. It was a wonderful rendition here...too bad the clapping interupted the final verse...with the best organ playing. I understand it was an ordination, but I can't imagine clapping during the singing of such an outstanding hymn. Save the clapping until after the hymn is over!
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano & organ. On this Easter (April 12), we sang this as our opening hymn. We also sang it at another Lutheran Church that I attended later as the opener. It is #365 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. Just thought I'd share.
It's Easter Sunday and I'm unable to be with my family, so I searched to hear my favorite Easter hymn, finding it here. Thank-you so much for posting this.
I could not see clearly on my monitor why the congregation rose to its feet and applauded. What had just happened?
I'm an ND grad so this video brings back memories of Sacred Heart. Beautiful hymn, one of my favorites! And, yes, it was the communion hymn at Mass this morning.
I can't wait to hear this hymn tomorrow at 10 am Mass. Our organists plays it nice and loudly and I think we may be having some type of drums that will play, which will add a great effect.
"Basilica" is a word that refers to the way a building is constructed. Most churches are built along these lines. A long room with high ceilings and lots of windows to let in light.
@priest008 You should look up other photos of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at Notre Dame. It is one of the most beautiful churches I have ever been in. This video was taken at a very strange angle. The tabernacle is stunning, and you totally miss it in this video!

You must all live and suffer in some way to know the love of Christ, as a gay man, mankind has made thier judgement against me, but when I hear this song, I know what poison that is, the agencies of despair, and I sing this song to myself to remember Christ came for me, for all my goodnesses and shortcomings and I have accepted myself and my Savior, know His pains and He will shelter you in a Love incomprehensible that even a "fag" hated by all, can bow in majesty to the Christ Jesus. Peace.
may God bless you, even though your gay who cares. God made you as you are. May he always shine his grace upon you for having so much faith in him and having him as your rock. Even though I'm not gay I probably don't have as much faith as you do, for this reason may God always bless you.
I join with "Speros11" in extending Christian love and fellowship to you, sir. Let me assure you, though it may make Cath. "traddies" blanch, I suspect a few of the priests in that closing procession also have same-sex attraction if published studies are correct .Nonetheless, they are true to their vows of celibacy and fatithfulness.. You are not hated by all, as hate is not a Christian virtue. Keep the faith and an active prayer life.
The clapping during the recessional is not typical. I've sung at ordinations, and the clapping is for the men who were just ordained. Most choir members understand that this is just a significant and joyous moment for the new priests and their families, and the singers don't take offence. Also, at ordinations, you get a lot of people attending who may not be Catholic, or Christian and just don't realize. Our choir director told us to just be very patient :)
I LOVE the peeling of the reeds at the beginning, nice job from the organist...and really loved how the ENTIRE congregation sang and clapped for the joyous occasion. Great video!

Who lives by relics and Popes? You are a poor heretic that is seathing with hatred of something that you simply do not understand, In fact, you have been taught something in your religious education that states we worship popes and statues and saints and the like, when in fact, it is Y'ALL that act EXAXCTLY like the Pharasees. You think as man thinks, and can't handle the real true authority of the Church. Amazing how they judge, and are fools and blind.

If you think this is good, you should hear the music at this dioceses cathedral in fort wayne, they are not all professional, but they have a huge organ and an orchestra for special masses, like chrism mass, christmas, easter, and ordanations, as well as other special concerts. I tell you it's soo loud you can sing at the top of your lungs and you cant hear yourself sing at times. Though I think notre dame has a larger set of pipes.

@n444if Allah is Satan not God. Jesus said only false prophets would come after him and false prophets promise sexual rewards in Heaven. Mohammed was a false prophet. Ezekiel 38 names Turkey, Syria, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt as providing soldiers for Satan. They are all Islamic countries. Revelation 20 says beheading is Satan's method of killing. Read Sura 8:12, 47:4.
Allah is totalatarian, and demands killing of Jews and Christians (as Satan does)

@ConejosGuy I do believe that there are catholics out there who really love Jesus. I do believe that there are many catholics in heaven however I do not believe in the idea of a pope. We all represent Christ to the world and he should not be the one that everyone turns to for doctrinal questions. Christ is the head of the church and all the saints (true christians) are the ones who should be the representatives. Having a whole hierarchy like that makes the church political which is wrong.
zemotheon12987 4 months ago
@zemotheon12987 Well if you do not see the idea of a Pope, then I do not see the idea of a unified Church. Jesus installed the Papacy in Matthew 16:19 and through Apostolic Succession. The Church "hierachy" is to keep things in order and in place with no corruption. Look at these Baptist Churches, different doctrines ALL over. Jesus established ONE doctrine. Christ is our Head of Church. But our VISIBLE head, HUMAN head, is the Pope who leads our Church from JESUS.

@JD27076 Guy Fawkes and the other conspirators were Roman Catholics trying to kill King James and attack England because of their printing of the King James Bible.

This is why when Alex Jones and others blame Great Britian and the bankers, it is just another attack on the once mighty empire that helped spread the truth

@damienvargas The problem isn`t with individuals, but with the institution as a whole. It is far too large and worldly and those who do these great acts, act largely independent of the immediate authority of the church. It is far too political, and legalistic having more to do with how you act rather than faith from which acts follow. Look at Martin Luther`s main attacks again Catholicism, many are still valid today.
xpo50 1 year ago
Marin Luther was a psychopath. HE hated the Jews and women...read his book "On Jews and Their Lies"...oh yeah, Luther was a real "Christian" alright. He had NO permission from ANYONE especially scripture, to start his own church. He even rewrote scripture to suit HIS own beliefs..NO WHERE in the bible does God give ANYONE 'permission" to start their own "Church". As of 2009 there are over 40,000 "Protestant" Denominations. Is that the work of The Holy Spirit? Hardly. It's NOT the Holy Spirit.
oofahman 1 year ago
@oofahman Oh please, everyone was prejudiced against Jews at that time, but unlike the Catholic Church Martin Luther did not actively seek out and torture them. Furthermore, he did not start his own church he resurrected the old church which had been corrupted and desecrated by disgusting practices by clergy and the Popes. Nowhere in the Bible is the practice of indulgences supported, nor is there any justification for celibacy, in fact it is directly denounced.
xpo50 1 year ago
you need to really study your church history a lot better, my friend. THE Church did not seek out the Jews to destroy them...i notice you NEVER mentioned the many Jews THE Church DID save! Don't forget, the Church is Holy and without blemish, but it is THE HUMAN aspect of THE Church that is corrupt..NOT The church!! The sooner you understand this, the better. you also need to study scripture much deeper also. Celibacy IS Scriptural! "For those who are called to it!".
oofahman 1 year ago
You don't need permission to be right, God is the only authority and any Pope or man who would openly attack and bar a man from expresses what is written in the Gospels is sinning against God. The Catholic Church was more corrupt than any kingdom of Europe. The very fact that a church would hold political power as such is a disgrace for the kingdom of God is not of this world. He did not start his own church, he merely restored what had been lost, and left those behind who were lost.

Show me the documentation to prove what you have said. Any document BY THE Church is available online at anytime. In typical anti-Catholic fashion, you attempt to try to destroy THE Church with lie upon lie, but remember: Truth can be proven, but a lie cannot be proven. Again back up your unsubstantiated claim with documentation,NOT YOUR PERSONAL OPINION!
oofahman 1 year ago
@oofahman I don't need to have documents from the Church, this is where you seem to not understand me. The Bible is the only authority. In atypical Catholic fashion you seem to be assuming that real Christians should take orders from a glorified Pagan institution, idolizing statues and putting faith in false rituals rather than God. In the early church, chalices were wooden and the prelates were gold, now it is the reverse.
xpo50 1 year ago
@xpo50 NOWHERE in the bible does it say ANYWHERE that Scripture is the only thing to use in Christianity..NOWHERE..so you err right there, my friend. The Catholic Church is NOT a 'pagan'; institution and that is why you refuse to look at the writings of the early Church fathers and other documentation that proves you, my friend, 100% WRONG...SO before you reply with more of your typcial hateful Anti-Catholic rhetoric and lies, do some more research. John 6:53, Psalm 127:1
oofahman 1 year ago
@oofahman I think that the word of God, or Jesus Christ alone, is the ultimate authority, and his words are written in the Gospels, in the Bible. To say that any other document or message is imperative to being a Christian then we must assume that Jesus' words alone are not enough, to dismiss the resurrection and the power of God, submitting to the authority of men. Your passages only prove MY point, that living through JESUS and not Popes or relics is right.
xpo50 1 year ago
@oofahman To me the most important thing that the Bible says is in the Gospel of St.John, chapter 3 and verses 16 and 17, That WHOEVER believes in Jesus will be saved, and that He did not come to condemn, but to save. It does not differentiate between the various branches of the church. All those, whether Catholic, Quaker, Methodist, Baptist, or any other of the many Christian groups, who put their faith in Jesus can find salvation

@pipeup1 If I am not mistaken, any Bishop/Archbishop purposely walks with the crozier backwards IF HE IS NOT IN HIS OWN "JURISDICTION", for lack of a better term. Many times, Bishops of the order will come to the Basilica to ordain Priests, and since this is not his own Dioscese, it is customary to carry it backwards. (Someone correct me if I am incorrect).

@MrMaksimchuk Well I don't claim to be any type of expert on what bishops do with their croziers!! But I always understood the rule to be that because the crozier symbolises juristiction only the diocesan ordinary or the metropolitan carries a crozier. A prior/abbot carries it closed to show he only has juristiction in his priory,etc. If you see a procession with all the bishops carrying croziers I'd say that would be rare! But any liturgy experts please clarify :-)

During consecration, when I hear it, I know Christ is present in the sacrament of the eucharist. Very Beautiful!!!

The clapping during the recessional is not typical. I've sung at ordinations, and the clapping is for the men who were just ordained. Most choir members understand that this is just a significant and joyous moment for the new priests and their families, and the singers don't take offence. Also, at ordinations, you get a lot of people attending who may not be Catholic, or Christian and just don't realize. Our choir director told us to just be very patient :)
