It would be good if the Napier version could be publicized more to show how the NO can be celebrated in a decent format. Indeed, if more people had been aware of the Napier version back in '70s, much of the liturgical bitterness of the past 50 years might have been avoided.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348523519788188753.post-40886855799871788072018-09-18T19:52:32.137-05:002018-09-18T19:52:32.137-05:00Is there any video of this Mass being performed or...Is there any video of this Mass being performed or a missal that discusses how in particular they celebrate the Pauline Use?TN Papisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16827658848108148332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348523519788188753.post-15149741249309057952018-08-01T13:41:53.788-05:002018-08-01T13:41:53.788-05:00I was told recently that at Griciliano (sp?)

Very beautiful it sounded too. It was always EP3 or EP2 and never the Roman Canon in those days. After Fr. Napier's time that went and the Pauline Mass became more '62ish'.<br /><br />Michael Napier was a decent man and one whom I misjudged, to my shame. Essentially shy he was rather easy to form the wrong impression of. Abiding memories of are him early one morning when there was torrential rain marshaling the sacristans and anyone around with buckets as water poured in through many places as the church had been recently redecorated but not re-roofed. He was in his element, totally calm and organising things like a militiary operation. Another classic was seeing him at a summer party in shorts which appeared to be WW2 issue with wire hoops at the bases of the legs.<br /><br />Fr. Anthony alludes to an unpleasant side to things. The worst was the way a certain provost treated Mgr. Gilbey. One day Mgr. Gilbey had a fall in the apsidal corridor that runs behind the sanctuary between St. Wilfrid's chapel and the sacristy. A friend of mine used to be one of the sacristans and he, along with another friend was the Mgr's server in the last years helped Mgr. Gilbey up and helped him to unvest. My sacristan friend asked if Mgr. Gilbey could have some breakfast in the Refectory to get over his shock but the Provost refused. My two friends took him over to one of eateries on the Brompton Road in disgust. Later when Mgr. Gilbey was evicted from the Traveller's he tried to call in a long time offer made by Michael Napier that there would always be a room at Oratory House if he should need it. When Mgr. Gilbey asked it was a case of 'no room at the inn' by the then provost and Mgr. Gilbey ended up at Nazareth House in Hammersmith which he could not take to and passed away a few months later. Such appalling behaviour, from a rabid hater of the old Roman liturgy and fanatical 1962-ist, would not have happened with Michael Napier nor with the current Provost.

Another example of a postulant not accepted into the novitiate: "The Fathers have had their meeting and have decided NOT to accept you. No hurry to go. Tomorrow will do". Fr Ronald Creighton-Jobe once showed me round the old place. One Father was watching TV wearing his biretta. Yeah...Fr Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15521671841072661886noreply@blogger.com
