These were taken about two months before the fire.
Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI will wait for to see your photos of Saint Alphonsus Liguori Church which will be shown on the public television station.
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Mark! You deserve this recognition.
ReplyDeleteWasn't that the crazy liturgical goofball church?

ReplyDeleteI believe that the correct term is "enculturated", which in this case, the music of the Mass is adapted to African-American culture. But in many respects, the Mass here (the time I visited) is no different than how the Missal of Pope Paul VI is celebrated most everywhere else in the U.S., except that instead of the music of the Saint Louis Jesuits, they have Jazz and Gospel. The worship was Catholic. Either the Sanctus or the Agnus Dei, or both (I can't recall), were chanted in Latin.
The Rosary and the Our Mother of Perpetual Help devotions were prayed precisely as you would expect anywhere else, and I recall hearing quite a bit of Latin.
Enculturation is a good and valid concept. However, it seems to have been used in recent decades as a kind of 'divide and conquer' strategy to eliminate any sense of Catholicity, as well as an excuse to jettison Greek philosophy and the Latin language.
However, we must realize that the mission of the Church is to enculturate society, and not the other way around.
