Photos of the Solemn Mass and Procession yesterday evening at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in East Harlem.  As special thanks to Diana Yuan for providing the photos.

What is the Roman Rite? Today, the talk is of “Ordinary” and “Extraordinary” forms, the Novus Ordo Mass and the Traditional Mass. How did this dichotomy arise and what is its basis? And what will be the future of this dual path – confrontation or “mutual enrichment”? Or was Fr. Gelineau right when he claimed that the Roman Rite was “destroyed”?

(Prof. Kwasniewski’s new book Noble Beauty, Transcendent Holiness: Why the Modern Age Needs the Mass of Ages will be available for sale during the evening, and the author will be glad to sign copies.)
