[Catholic Caucus] The Traditional Latin Mass on Mount Everest

Ab ortu enim solis usque ad occasum, magnum est nomen meum in gentibus, et in omni loco sacrificatur : et offertur nomini meo oblatio munda, quia magnum est nomen meum in gentibus, dicit Dominus exercituum. (Mal. 1:11)

From the National Catholic Register:

Father Doohan, a priest of the Diocese of Dunkeld, arrived in Nepal on May 2, hauling medical supplies for St. Ignatius’ Church in Kathmandu, then set off with Bishokarma and a small porter team toward Everest Base Camp — 4 vertical miles higher than Scotland’s Ben Nevis. 

 

“Heaven has once again come down to Earth at its highest point,” he told fellow climbers at the base-camp Mass. “It’s certainly the first Holy Mass here in the nascent pontificate of Pope Leo XIV.”

I hope we can bring more of them down to ground level.
