Sunday, September 20: Holy Mass was sung in the Gregorian rite in the twelfth century church of Santa Maria a Fiume in the town of Ceccano, just south of Rome. The celebrant was Don Stefano Carusi of the Istituto del Buon Pastore (http://www.institutdubonpasteur.org/) and the magnificent choir was the Concentus Musicus Josquin Des Pres directed by Maestro Mauro Gizzi. Needless to say, to witness this spirituality inside a church consecrated in 1196 really makes one feel the continuity of the Roman rite as it spans the ages.
The sacred ministers vote to establish the Archconfraternity of those in favour of the Usus Antiquior but also of AIR-CONDITIONING!
