Based on the Conciliar passages you've quoted, I get the impression that you're agruing in favor of the Tridentine Mass rather than against it.


...many things seem already to have crept in, which are alien from the dignity of so great a sacrifice...

Indeed.


In the next place, that irreverence may be avoided, each, in his own diocese, shall forbid that any wandering or unknown priest be allowed to celebrate mass.

That's fine. Too bad it doesn't apply to my FSSP priest, who is in full union with Rome.


They shall also banish from churches all those kinds of music, in which, whether by the organ, or in the singing, there is mixed up any thing lascivious or impure; as also all secular actions; vain and therefore profane conversations, all walking about, noise, and clamour, that so the house of God may be seen to be, and may be called, truly a house of prayer.

Indeed, again.


...nor employ other rites, or other ceremonies and prayers, in the celebration of masses, besides those which have been approved of by the Church, and have been received by a frequent and praiseworthy usage.

Two words: Ecclesia Dei

You missed my point. I'll repeat it. There is no purity in the past to which we can return. As the Council of Trent noted, even the "mass of all time" was rife with abuses, simonical taint, superstition, commotion, worldy music etc etc.

I am happy you have access to the FSSP. I used to go to the Indult my ownself.

So, does the FSSP promote or sell this video? If not, why not? If you don't know, will you please ask your FSSP priest his opinion of the video and tell us his response?

For the record, I am in favor of anything the Living Magisterium permits,promotes etc, incluidng the Indult. I prefer the Pauline Rite myself.
