That church was architecturally splendid. I was disappointed that the midnight Mass I attended was an awkward hybrid English/Latin Novus Ordo Mass; two priests concelebrating in fiddleback chasubles, that sort of thing. The music program was technically far superior to anything in my city, but I was still irritated that there wasn't much Gregorian chant, and that they used a mixed men/women choir rather than a choir of men and boys as so many Anglican churches in the area do. I really didn't care that they used a Gloria from a Mozart Mass. Give me chant, and men/boy choirs!

Praying for the dead is important. PM me if you need a cantor for the Requiem Mass of a deceased friend or family member. Have cassock and surplice, will travel. (Will also do weddings for a reasonable price.)

And you couldn't take five minutes to pop up here and see me?  Think about.. Scotland combines the best of both England and Ireland.  The Gaelic air and wild glens, the Norman architecture, beautiful Gothic churches, etc.. I r disappoint.

Does it? I picture the vast majority of Gothic buildings in Scotland to be ruins or otherwise subject to Presbyterian barbarism.

There just wasn't enough time to do everything I wanted to do. I didn't even have time to go seek out ggreg as I originally planned. I must've spent 14 or 16 hours a day sightseeing.

Those ruins are good enough for the traditional Mass to be offered in.  They're good enough for you  LOL!

We got along very well. I'm keeping my other thoughts to myself for now, but I'll post a picture of us together.
