I'm sorta Poped out at this point, but who can resist a high requiem mass in Latin? I can't!  The Litany of Saints and random Eastern-Rite clergy chanting in Greek at the end were the best parts. Bush looked completely dumbfounded. Condoleezza wore a black veil a la Jackie O around her gigantic, evil supergenius cranium. I saw Yushchenko, Annan, Prince Charles, Bill Clinton, Chirac. The Iranian and Syrian presidents both shook hands with the Israeli president during the peace-of-Christ part of the mass. It's a Popestock miracle! You can read along with the official missal here in Latin and Italian. Here's the litany of the saints: Quote:

No seriously, I always thought it was beautiful to watch the priests do high mass in Latin and was just always awestruck by the amount of pomp and circumstance in mass. |

But the Latin is better than the vernacular mass...that stale, protestantized cooking demonstration. That's one area where I agree with Mel Gibson. |

| mani@c Join Date: Jul 2001 Posts: 23,106 | haha Well, they only do it (at least round here) a couple times a year, and even then, it's not really allll in Latin. Growing up, though, all of the masses were in Latin (at my Catholic school in Toledo, OH). I hated it. Now? Not so much the hate. Especially on holidays (again, for me). |

I tried so hard to look for it, but I cannot find it. Does anyone else remember that scene in Johnny Dangerously when the priest is saying that parodied Latin blessing over Johnny while he is walking deathrow and collecting machine gun parts from the prisoners? It is SO hilarious. If anyone can find it I would be most appreciative  xo Rachel __________________  | ||
