As I said before, this priest presides over a Lex Orandi [Formal Liturgy of the RC Church] that is only the bear essentials [only just!], and is in no way the FULL Roman Catholic Liturgical praxis for Holy Mass iuxta Rubricis Missalis Romani MMXI. Yet again the lack of understanding of that old Roman Catholic Gregorian maxim Lex Credendi - Lex Orandi has produced a 'watered-down' version of Holy Mass.

On the other hand, the content of Father's holmily is quite sound. Nevertheless, one can see that what he SAYS [the Faith expounded in the homily] and what he DOES [the poor Liturgy] are at divergence from each other. The only time this Oratory will have a GOOD Liturgy is that moment when ALL come together at a high standard: GOOD RC music, GOOD ceremony, GOOD language, GOOD art and decorations, thus producing a GOOD Roman Catholic ethos, and Holy Mass as it ought to celebrated according to the Magisterium of the Church; so that God may be glorified in all things.

Therefore, while Father's homily is good, the music he admits into the Liturgy is terrible, the ceremony shoddy, the language 'dumbed-down', the art and decor minimal and distracting (saecular perhaps?). I rather think that Father needs to follow his own advice, and follow the teachings of the Church vis-a-vis Sunday Mass as described in the General Instructions to the Roman Missal 2011, no matter how much the world (or his bretheren) mocks him!
