The one thing that annoys me with Neil is that he seems full of himself. Rarely does interviews (and when he does it's almost never with Ged and Alex), claims he "doesn't care what people think" (total BS, everyone cares), and just generally has this snobbish air about him like he's trying to be ...

I've got serious goosebumps from this.

What a shame that the Novus Ordo mass has strayed so far from the Tridentine form. I am not completely opposed to the priest facing the congregation but I have a serious problem with the lack of reverence and solemnity that Vatican II allowed for in the new mass. It simply went too far in abandon...

The fact that this is the first video that comes up when searching for "Catholic Mass" is a travesty. This is terrible.

So cheesy...

No offense but the Ukrainian Catholic Church I attend is far more Orthodox than this. Far more Orthodox...

Very westernized and watered-down liturgy. I sincerely hope there are Eastern Catholic parishes in Montreal that are more faithful to the authentic Orthodox liturgical tradition. They are unfortunately few and far between, but one excellent example is Saint Elias in Brampton, Ontario.

This is not representative at all of the Catholic churches I've been to.

This is beautiful. Are these the types of chants one can expect to hear at a Western Rite Mass?

Great video for a great priest.

@BigAJD54 yes, that is what the Bible says, if you read it literally, as a fundamentalist would. That's a dangerous mentality to have, that we're going to heaven and everyone else will burn in hell, and my God wouldn't send anyone to "hell". I think what you and every other fundamentalist here ne...

@advokatrj - on the other hand, it may be completely appropriate considering the extent of Latinization in many of the Ukrainian Catholic Churches (an unfortunate reality).

One question: where is the iconostasis??? I've never seen or heard of a Byzantine liturgy being celebrated without it.. but then again, that's just what you'd expect from a Church that's done everything to Latinize the Eastern churches.

This church is a gem. I was going here and absolutely loved it, then moved to the Toronto area - even in this city of 4+ million people I can't find such a great parish. Also, Fr. Rich Roberge is an excellent priest whose sermons are always deep and meaningful, and always stressed the importance ...

@christo930 you're an idiot.

@coyle7789 yeah man I used to live in the burbs and there were def parts of Philly I just wouldn't go to.. North Philly still scares the shit out of me. I live in the Toronto area now and even the worst parts aren't half as bad as many parts of Philly.

I don't know who this fool is, but I highly suggest he read Girard's Violence and the Sacred to find out how completely wrong the concept of so-called Penal Substitution really is.

God did not require any sacrifice for the sins of humanity - He exposes Himself as fully non-violent throughout the...

I disagree strongly with your statement that the Roman Rite is the "highest rite .. the mother of all Churches."

The Byzantine liturgy predates the Tridentine Mass by over a thousand years, and is far "higher" than any liturgy ever used in the West (it was the first rite to be developed). Its unp...

@leptismagna10 I suggest you read Rene Girard (an excellent Catholic thinker) regarding your point of how Jesus' sacrifice is different from other sacrifices. Christ's sacrifice reveals the innocence of the victim scapegoated by the mob, whereas in other religions and myths the God is always on t...

I really like what Bush says here, though unfortunately his actions don't correspond with what he's saying. A culture of life is in our national interest? Valuing life in all forms? Then maybe he shouldn't have been so willing to illegally invade and occupy another nation, creating one of the wor...
