Fr. Pfeiffer uses The Passion of the Christ (movie by Mel Gibson)
for a commentary on the Mass and Our Lord's crucifixion.
He says this is being given at St. Isidore's, Watkins, CO, the
second year of the movie's release, which would have been 2005.
Plus, he says he was pastor at St. Isidore for 10 years since his
ordination, and he was ordained in 1994, in Winona. Therefore,
this recording was 8 years old when it was uploaded in 2013.
At minute 1:53:50 he says he is 33 years old, which would have
been true in 2005, but not in 2013.
Various explanations of the imagery and allegory in the meditation.
One of the early observations Fr. makes here is that it is utterly
absurd to accuse Catholics of being "anti-Semitic" when Our Lord
Jesus Christ was a Semite, and His Crucifixion was therefore a
conspicuous act of anti-Semitism, and it is in this that we worship
Him as God, and so those who do not respect the Catholic Faith
are the αnтι-ѕємιтєs.
1:49:00 has more on anti-Semitism.
There is a bit of anomaly with this recording, in that at minute
1:07:18 Fr. says, "We'll go here with some of the symbols in the
movie..." and then at minute 1:59:57 he says the same thing and
the same material follows. That is, this segment repeats.
Effectively, this is a two-hour recording, not a 2 hour 52 minute
recording, and the final 52 minutes is a repeated segment.
This is in a series, as a YouTube channel [deleted!!] (Pab. the ama-
teur Mexican). The next video that starts immediately when this
one is finished begins with a nice recording of church bells ringing,
but there is no identification of where they are. They might be
Mexico, but I am not aware of any such bells in the United States.
I have heard them in Venice and Rome, Italy, at St. Mark's and St.
Peter's respectively. After an odd segment of a Mexican plaza
band, the main topic begins: folk music for coffee & donuts after
Mass in Boston, Kentucky. A guitarist strums and singers join in
with their rendition of Kentucky regional songs, The Little White
Church in the Vale, Keep on the Sunny Side of Life, Love Is Like a
Dying Ember, Remember the Red River Valley (S. Foster).
P.T.A.M. relays a request for "Were You There," which the guitarist
doesn't know. Actually, it would not be a song that this rhythm
of strumming could be appropriate for. The guitar would have to
adopt an entirely different style of softly playing background
chords and little or no melody notes, and no rhythm, as the song
is entirely lyrical without any driving pulse in the manner of
Johnny Cash.
Again, at 15:13 the recording jumps back to repeat the same
material that was from minute 5:29 with Keep on the Sunny Side
of Life, etc. .At 20:16 a final segment begins with 3 children
singing a cappella.
