Clearly the liturgical formation of seminarians in the Archdiocese of Vienna is pretty bad if what is protrayed here is true. Gloria.TV exposes yet another example of how some trash the sacred Liturgy under the guise of making it accessible to the people: "The Western Mass."
The celebrant was the rector of the Vienna Cathedral, Father Anton Faber; AND, according to Father Faber, the Cardinal-Archbishop Christoph Maria Michael Hugo Damian Peter Adalbert Graf von Schönborn, OP, approves of the way Father Faber celebrates the sacred Liturgy.
This is so very troubling and disappointing. I could imagine a situation where a Mass were being celebrated NEAR a picnic site, but DURING a picnic? It is so awful. Also, the presence of a Confederate flag with the American flag troubled me too - but that is a topic for another day.
Lord have mercy on us.
Father Faber? Is that the infamous Father Faber? Yikes! This is scary!
What reparations we must make for the many abuses of the Eucharist...
Wow. And the Confederate flag, too.... Just...wow.
