That's beautifully done! Looking forward to the rest.

And you wonder why the Pope chose to restrict the extraordinary (i.e., out of the ordinary) mass?

This film blames all societies ills on the Ordinary Form of the mass. Those in an extraordinary form community could not help but believe the Ordinary Form is evil and illicit from watching that.

How is that film anything short of schismatic?

He did everything right.......except for the Econe consecrations. What could have been.

Just finished watching episode 1. My first thought:

1. A very moving narrative about the young family having lost their father at such a young age. One quote that the young mother said that jumped out for me was around the 4:19 minute mark where she acknowledges that the influence she and her husband had on the children was reaching a limit, "was still important but the influence of the people that they were around was going to be almost more important."

I think many parents have come to understand this at some point in their children's lives. I have 8 kids, and I can almost tell you to the date, when I could see that they were listening more to their friends than mom and I. After the first two kids we knew our time was short to impress upon them what was important in life. Certainly God and family - but our neighbors too. This is where I think, how we understand God and worship God, becomes a piece to the puzzle.

(speaking of kids) I am being summoned! I will follow up on this line of thinking a little later on...
