"Who are you, Father, to say what goes on in this particular church? Tend to your own parish, Padre."

First of all, I am not a padre.
Secondly, I am a Catholic who would like to be able to attend a traditional Mass according to the rubrics wherever I go.
Thirdly, this "particular church", assuming it is Catholic, is bound to observe the GIRM like any other Catholic church.
I have seen nothing in the new GIRM authorizing the use of videos in any part of the Mass.

In Post #74 I needed to identify this paragraph as sarcasm:
If you are a bishop like Hubbard you might show a video of your latest vacation to Florida or of an earlier vacation to Cape Cod with one of your closest friends. .../sarcasm.

Regarding Posts #66 & 74:
I want to say that it might be best that Hubbard and other bishops like him, with marginal relationships to the Magisterium, should not be allowed to ever use video.

However, I would not want to restrict a bishop, that cherishes his good relationship with the Magisterium, from using video to fight an Evil that is an immediate threat to the Faith and/or Morals of the faithful entrusted to him.
Sometimes a bishop has to (morally obligated to) use the most Effective tools available to make the Maximum impression on the faithful so that the expected response from the faithful (to defend the Faith) will be the greatest.

Of course if all bishops were good this wouldn't be a problem.
