Whether this man is aspiring to the Priesthood or is a Brother candidate, I don't know.

But this is how a Catholic man

a) about to enter the consecrated state or  

b) anyone with a sense of decorum or reverence,

behaves in church, during a liturgical procession, with a blessed sacramental?

Seriously? Liturgical acts and blessed sacramentals are no laughing matter.

It may seem like nothing to some, but don't take this lightly friends.

Matthew, would you have behaved like this at the seminary?

Would any seminarian before Vatican II?

Standards for future priests and religious were high (and rightfully so). Candidates would've been out on their ear.

And these men are our future priests, the apostles of Jesus and Mary?

Agree with wallflower.  He made a mistake on camera and was covering his embarassment with nervous laughter.  No disrespect was intended.  May I suggest that nobody who doesn't want to be a true priest or religious comes to OL of Mt. Carmel?
Yes, the ceremony lacked the polish and dignity it would have had at a pre-Vatican II seminary.  The same ceremony at Winona or any other well-estblished SSPX/traditional seminary would possess a grandeur not present on this clip.  Watch the clip again with attention to the accommodations.  The building to the left of the chapel is the seminarians' dormitory and school.  The cells are TINY with leaky, unscreened windows and no storage.  The "dining hall," kitchen, "library" and classrooms are all in this building.  The chapel is exactly as you see, both inside and out.  The roads are rutted and muddy.  The cement slab is where the Pfeiffer home stood until a year ago.  Note the luxurious corrogated tin garages and maintenance shop, the magnificent priests' quarters (to right of slab), and the spacious, handicapped accessible "parking lot!"   The men who took the cassock on Sunday have made this place their home since the end of September and have committed to staying for any number of years until ordained priests or brothers.  For some, it may be their permanent home until death.  As for the sister's residence, (not shown), it is equally posh!  
The five seminarians,  the priests, and Sister, need our prayers.  If anyone wants or requires luxury and grandeur, the ability to walk with perfect dignity and nobility, to make no mistakes, or, certainly, to be very sure they do not appear in an amateur video on You Tube, as Fr. Chazal told a would-be seminarian displeased with similar accommodations in the Philippines, "I can name six seminaries where you can go and where they'll be glad to accept you."
Please give this man a break!  
 

Excellent observations, Frances.  

I would join this seminary if I was allowed and had the money.

Have you done the work?  have you examined this video frame by frame like I have?  If not, you ought not to comment on my discovery.

I agree with Frances.

If the seminarian in question is the one Icterus ...err...defaced... then I can speak with confidence on this matter, as I've met the man!

1. He donated lots of stuff to my Resistance chapel. An altar-worthy Crucifix, linens, candlesticks, a kneeler, and more.

2. As for nervousness, etc. that's just his personality. God understands, and anyone who doesn't can mind their own business!

3. Pre-Vatican II, the Church could be very choosy about priests -- good looking, great personality, perfect psychological profile, as well as all the usual qualifications. During this Crisis? Not so much. We have to focus on what is NECESSARY (good philosophical/theological formation, knowledge, and the will to oppose modernism and Vatican II) while the other things have to be secondary or even given up.

Awwww...you took my funny picture down.  :-(

I understand your point, and that it was a joke, but you're still making fun of a devout seminarian in a very public (Internet-wide) manner. Would you want that to be done with a picture of you? And even if you would, have you asked this seminarian if he feels the same way?

Anyhow, I'm very grateful to him for what he provided my little Resistance chapel. Based on the "wealth" of the chapel owner and those who have supported it thus far, we should have *far, far* less than we have right now. One can't buy all this equipment with the meager donations we've received thus far. And I can only provide the building and land. I'm still paying for the building! No extra cash here.

But thanks to this seminarian's generosity, we're enjoying a higher level of "proper chapel equipment" than our donations would have merited.

And note that he's also generous enough to donate HIMSELF to the cause as well. That is a cause for praising God, not over-scrutinizing the poor man.
