Society of Saint Gregory

Oh the joys of language (as we are discovering!) I don't think the seminars are supposed to be a shop window for whatever the composers might be presenting of their own, or of the work of others. That wasn't in the least what I was suggesting. The brief for the seminar is: * Explain why a new transl...

I confess defeat - I've been trying to fit in the Salford seminar, but the need to be at home on the Friday night, the 160 mile/3 hour trip and the need to be in London on Saturday evening are too much for me - yes, I know that Australians and South Africans would typically do twice such distances f...

It's just this kind of discussion (without, perhaps the lightness of mood) that I fear may consume a large slice of the day at the seminars - some assurance would be welcome - perhaps an indication of the timetable? Q (This was meant in reference to Presbyter's doubtlessly learned discourse on "...

Well Nick is "headlining" as last contributor to the first eight topics at the moment - is that a record? - drat! I've just spoiled it! - say something quickly, Nick and restore the position.

Q

Where is the comma in Sanctus(x3) Domine Deus Sabaoth? . . Domine . " - ? - have they revised the Latin too? Meanwhile, and more seriously, All will be revealed at the seminars ..... I am still trying to dodge some commitments in order to sign up for the Salford seminar, (yes, I know time is r...

I thought I might buy the dvd introducing the new missal - but if I do it will be the most expensive dvd I have ever bought! - admittedly I don't buy many, so perhaps I am out of touch, but at £14.99 it seems to me to be clearly in the league of commercial-for-profit offerings where the "perfor...

It looks odd because the latin is odd. No - it looks odd because we've forgotten how to speak English (haven't we just had this in another thread? - "O God, who have . . " is correct even if rarely used.) This in no way invalidates any of your more substantive points, Nazard - just me wit...

A member of my choir has forwarded me this link - I pass it on with apologies for some of its tone and for not having revised the whole of this thread in case this is old news (well, it is nearly midnight!). m (The abbreviated form of the link as I see it in the preview of this post doesn't reveal t...

Optimising anything without an quantitative metric is always going to be very subjective, and stands a good chance of upsetting a proportion of the population. Wow! - some sentence, Nazard! - I wish I'd written that. I promise not to be upset if you really talk down to me and tell me what the heck ...

"lancerae"- is it perhaps just another example of the inability of speakers of Home Counties English to cope with two vowels next to each other without inserting a consonant? - I was listening to a Haydn Mass on Radio Three this morning which had an awful example of the dreaded "Hosan...

Good grief! I echo that! - now you know why I asked! All may or may not be made clear here http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?id=5932&CFID=45111086&CFTOKEN=22704470 - but have you tried reading that? - that's exactly why I rather hoped someone might have already been mo...

Here's a simple uncontroversial one - does anyone have a complete list of feasts that supersede the Sunday Mass if they fall on the Sunday - or is it if they fall within one day of the Sunday? (Yes, I know that I am just idle, but . . . )

Thanks.

Q

I was abroad last weekend, where such weighty matters do not seem to enjoy the reasoned discussion they merit, but I picked up some obviously garbled rumour that Coventry is not close enough to somewhere or other to be adequately associated with Cardinal Newman and is accordingly off the agenda. Obv...

Superb post, SC - now at least I know not only that I don't know but also what I don't know!. Just two questions, sparing my ignorance - what is "Catechesis" (yes, I know what I think it means but it's always dangerous to assume - vide discussions elsewhere about the danger of translating ...

I've struggled - though not without interest - in the deeps of the similarly-titled topic (would that I knew how to make a link!), but I sense that I'm being left behind somehow. Is anything actually happening - for the practically oriented ones of us, that is? - and in the Birmingham Archdiocese to...
