No Leonine Prayers at Sanford Florida Priory Masses
« on: June 05, 2018, 07:53:49 AM »
Went to the mass at the SSPX Sanford Florida Priory on a  Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and all three days the priest did not do the Leonine prayers after the Low Mass, instead he did some weather prayer in Latin that I could not understand (I was told that is what it was). In the Sunday Low mass there were no Leonine Prayers after mass nor the weather blessing, so I assume the problem is the Leonine prayer. The prior is French, so I ask, do they omit the Leonine Prayers in France? Why don't they do both the Leonine Prayers and the weather blessing? The Leonine prayers take like 3 minutes and the blessing maybe took 1 minute.  

I remember that priory got hit by a hurricane last year, maybe it was because they are not doing the Leonine Prayers?

First goes the Leonine Prayers, then the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar, then strip down the Offertory, well the Novus Ordo has more scripture ...

Good you asked the priest.

Of course, for the American (primitive) Catholic to dare approach a French SSPX priest with such a question is an insult.

You should be happy you didn't get your face slapped. :chef:

Less than 4% of Catholics in France attend mass. In the USA, mass attendance is 24%. Why emulate the French system that bought such results? The French model should rather be an example of what to avoid, and the USA model an example of how the downfall was better avoided (attendance in the USA was 80% in the 1950's, so the current 24% is not a model of perfection, but rather just a model of how the downfall was better avoided that in France).

Facts don't apply.

From the eyes of a French Society priest, we Americans are primitive.
