Chinese Catholic schoolchildren sing Gregorian chant at Mass in San Francisco (1936, HD) 

But that's not the inside of St Mary's.

@@Christian-lm6qh yes you’re right But it is common in some churches today not all. God bless you

@@asaxr And Latin is the most "democratic" language nowadays, it's no one's mother tongue. Perfect as liturgical language, worldwide.

Singing Greek not Latin. This was always Greek .

Kyrie Eleison is always Greek. In Latin it would be Domine miserere nobis...

@@Inhocsignocrucisvinces agreed. None the less, not a barrier to learning the mass. ☺️🙏

That was part of the beauty of the Latin Mass. It was exactly the same Mass in every church in every city in every country. Everywhere, the same.

amen

This took place nearly 100 yrs ago. I highly doubt any of them are still alive.

Están vivos para la Eternidad,porque rezaron y vivieron su fe:así se protegieron de la muerte eterna.​@@gotogd1233

​@@gotogd1233so?

cannot agree with u more

Das Leben damals und heute ist ein Unterschied. Damals waren die Menschen noch gottesfürchtiger als heute und die Messe länger. Damals gab es noch Werte und Anstand, was leider zur heutigen Zeit verkommt. Auch in der Kirche!

Until it did, in the destructive and reckless 60s

Heaven is better.

I’m not accusing them of being Devil worshippers, but the clergy pushing for this banning of it are at least unwittingly doing his work; not God’s.

Thank you

Well, thankfully, the Lord Jesus also hears the prayers of us novus ordo peasants!

@@GBCompton well, I still go to the novus ordo, I guess I’m a peasant! But there is a big difference! 😊

Good meme potential

TURE🤣

Yes, especially in a place like San Francisco with a long history of Chinese immigration. Since the Gold Rush began in California in the 19th century, there has been a huge influx of Chinese laborers into San Francisco from southern China, especially from the “四邑”Siyi (A geographical concept in Guangdong consisting of four counties) regions of Guangdong (台山Taishan, 开平Kaiping, 新会Xinhui and 恩平Enping counties). In Chinese, San Francisco is even known as “旧金山” (the old Gold Mountain), The “old” is in contrast to the “new Gold Mountain” Melbourne, which was discovered later. This video is very valuable in that it documents the lives of Catholics descended from the early Chinese settlers, who, as you know, are not a large percentage of the Chinese population. However, as history has progressed, the population of Chinese immigrants to the United States is now becoming more diverse, with people coming from all parts of China and from all walks of life. And because of China's policy of promoting Mandarin, people now generally speak Mandarin, and the status of dialects is much lower than before. I am glad to hear that this church still exists and has many Chinese parishioners, which is a very meaningful testimony.

This was the standard way to pledge allegiance in many Western nations, including the United States. Hand stretched out and palm upward. When the Nazis came to power in Germany they inverted the palm to face downward and pledged to Hitler. In response the people of the United States started placing their hands over their hearts. It has been that way ever since.

The Bellamy salute was standard in America for decades before WW2, adopted alongside the Pledge of Allegiance in 1892, and only changed in light of the war.

I was thinking about the veils too.

What do you mean by “very modern?” You should look deeper into the whole tradition of vestments…

Clearly I don’t know much, but the priest’s vestment doesn’t appear very “traditional “…this could be an Ad Orientum Norvus Ordo Mass? (Could this be post conciliatory?) just wondering 🤔 😂 I am ready to be corrected 😂

@@bettypang4971 This was in 1936, way before Vatican II. The Novus Ordo was promulgated in 1969. The vestments are not 'modern', they're Gothic styled, unlike the fiddleback Roman chasubles. But both are perfectly legitimate.

@@bettypang4971this is 100% not a Novus Ordo Mass, look one up and you will see.
