An ugly thing, and a true departure FROM tradition! Centuries ago, bishops and others couldn't move in their heavily ornamented vestments. Rather than simplify and get rid of the "bling", they had the sides of their chasubles cut away, thus allowing (of course) what was won under it to be encrusted with bling too. <br /><br />As for the "fee": old cathedrals and churches need constant repair and upkeep. It's reasonable that the thousands of tourist who go to Canterbury Cathedral, assist in this regard. Remember too that in the Middle Ages, pilgrims paid for religious souvenirs, candles, donated money to the cathedral, and if rich - to the shrine of St. Thomas Becket itself. They also bought indulgences when at this cathedral, when "paying" for them was the fashion.Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04394379852357655547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348523519788188753.post-64483551080750331802013-07-24T16:23:40.986-05:002013-07-24T16:23:40.986-05:00Yeah yeah.

Despite our own problems we Catholics have never had to charge admissions "fees."<br /><br />I remember when visiting Bathe I popped into a former Benedictine church next to the Roman Bath House and paid a suggested £2 before entering. At Salisbury and Winchester they were very upfront about getting their £5, even giving me a receipt! Next time I am in the UK I will have to make a little pilgrimage to Canterbury, free of charge!The Rad Tradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899289024837953345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348523519788188753.post-36286286192961202662013-07-23T17:51:53.977-05:002013-07-23T17:51:53.977-05:00I once visited Canterbury Cathedral and was "...I once visited Canterbury Cathedral and was "asked" for a donation, upon entering the Holy Place.<br /><br />Whereupon, I said: "I am here to Pray" and was allowed through with no further problem.<br /><br />The Cathedral Guides are trained to request payment from the thousands of visitors per year, in order to try and raise funds for the heavy maintenance costs.<br /><br />However, to sum up, the next time you meet this obstacle in a Holy Place, just say: "I am here to Pray".

It's actually a very accurate reconstruction of how a medieval parish Mass would look: a capable man, who would have memorized large portions of the propers of the year, would act as cantor; the server(s) would be take from the more literate and apt boy(s) in town or loaned from the priestly-apprentices at the cathedral; a reverent informality would exist between the priest and laity. Only thing I do not like is the grill-like rood screen.<br /><br />As I know neither Swedish, which would go a long way to understanding the premise of this Mass, or the Cistercian rite I cannot really comment any further. Fascinating reconstruction though. I doubt it was a valid Mass, but still so interesting. He even said the Benedicite at the end!The Rad Tradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899289024837953345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348523519788188753.post-80190533771735798822013-07-22T16:40:52.477-05:002013-07-22T16:40:52.477-05:00It is also peculiar that in Cistercian Missal ther...It is also peculiar that in Cistercian Missal there is no kyrie, and also priest isn't saying it in the video i linked. it might be that the kyrie was sung only by choir and that it wasn't said by priest originally.<br /><br />And what about the only one confiteor in the video? that must be an error then because this Mass setting was already in 1450, and in 1474 we have Roman Missal which is almost identical to that of 1570, and the Carthusian Rite of 12th century had two confiteors, and the Cistercian Rite from roughly the same time has two confiteors as you say. the dominican, carmelite and ambrosian rites also have two confiteors...Marko Ivančičevićhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04579400863718513875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348523519788188753.post-72412642276706836102013-07-22T09:34:58.825-05:002013-07-22T09:34:58.825-05:00No error, it is to conserve paper.

If you look next to the Confiteor you will see the familiar "R" with a line through it, meaning response, so there is some interaction between priest and servers. Perhaps it is omitted for the sake of space. The absolution prayer (nobis, nostrorum etc) would not make much sense otherwise.<br /><br />I like the Westminster Mass better, too! I visited a few cathedrals in England two years ago and could only imagine what the Masses were like back in the day.The Rad Tradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899289024837953345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348523519788188753.post-13138334501969149822013-07-22T08:14:39.115-05:002013-07-22T08:14:39.115-05:00I like the Westminster Mass more.
