@Matthew


Sorry, my native language is German. I tried (obviously incorrect) to express, that just a few pictures here, and a few pictures there surfaced on the internet in the past days. No series of pictures from the consecration or nothing from which an interested absentee from Europe could get an idea from the festivity (e.g. pictures of the location, the number of faithful,…). – That’s not an allegation, but an astonished detection.
 
With today’s technical possibilities even a live stream via smartphone would be no problem. However I’m not talking about live streaming or video uploading, but about pictures. Depending on picture size and your mobile internet connection, it’s a question of a few minutes to upload 10, 20,… snapshots. (Admittedly not high quality pictures with many MB’s each, unless you have a good 4G connection.)
 
That didn’t happen, and that’s what surprises me, given that about 500(?) faithful attended this important consecration. Even until today I’m not aware of a larger series of picture from the consecration. (Maybe I’m spoiled by the very good and fast docuмentation of Bishop Thomas’ consecration in Brazil last year. Within hours more than 60 pictures from the whole ceremony surfaced on the internet.)
 
Nonetheless I’m very thankful about your work, Matthew. The videos are wonderful, well labeled and subdivided, and an important docuмentation of this major event. Thanks to your efforts I could already listen to the sermons of Msgr. Williamson. Bravo! :applause:

America is probably close to dead-last when it comes to speed, availability of Wifi, and general broadband Internet coverage in general -- at least among advanced/Western countries.

For one thing, America is much more spread out than Europe.

There was no Internet available at the Consecrations, for example. I didn't have cell phone service, so I couldn't upload anything live.

Also, there was a restriction on who was supposed to be taking pictures. Just the official videographer (SoldierOfCTK, B. T.), Fr. Ortiz, and myself were given permission to photograph/videograph/record the event.
