A passionate young filmmaker is using his talent to showcase the beauty of the Traditional Latin Mass in a three-part documentary, and it couldn't be more timely.
Filmmaker Cameron O'Hearn: "If I knew this moto proprio was coming out on July 16, I would have started to make this documentary series that we're making, but we have been in production for two years on this. Yeah, it's amazing how things are lining up."
The documentary series to which filmmaker Cameron O'Hearn refers is Mass of the Ages.
The first film in the trilogy premiers virtually on YouTube on Sunday, Aug. 15, on the Feast of the Assumption.
The convergence of a film promoting the Latin Mass with Pope Francis' new limits on the Old Rite might be called providential.
O'Hearn wants to introduce ordinary Catholics, who have never experienced a Latin Mass, to its unique beauty.
O'Hearn: "We don't want to feature the Mass of the Ages, the most beautiful thing in the universe, with just any old camera or any old microphone. We want to really give it our best."
The filmmaker believes the most effective way to reach the most people is through film.
O'Hearn:
People like us who love the Traditional Latin Mass will pick up a book on it, read about it, or will read an article about it. But what about the biggest block of Catholics who have all these misconceptions about the Latin Mass? Well a film, and especially a documentary, is packaged in such a way where it can inspire the audience, intrigue them, draw them in.
O'Hearn used Kickstarter and a $77,000 goal to get the ball rolling. He nearly tripled his goal.
The film, premiering Sunday, addresses a lot of misconceptions about the Latin Mass.

I contributed to this film’s Kickstarter. The great irony is the Bergoglio, who fancies himself as modern and forward-looking, might just be thwarted by young people and technology. Jorge is still living in the 1970s, but the 2020s are about to kick him in the rear end.
Amen to that, ij!

The Church
Let us pray for the Church, that she may receive from the Holy Spirit the grace and strength to reform herself in the light of the Gospel.
It's always about "reform" or is it "deform"?
