Bishop Colm O’Reilly offers Traditional Latin Mass

An extract from the article (Visit title for link)
"The Latin Mass took place as part of a commemoration of the Bicentenary of the death of Monsignor Henry Essex Edgeworth de Firmont .
During his homily, Bishop O'Reilly said the Abbé had an assured place in history for bravery, standing by the condemned Louis XVI as he died by the guillotine.
"This Commemorative Mass is celebrated in the form of the Roman Rite in which the Abbé celebrated Mass for the doomed monarch. We honour a man whose life speaks of profound respect for the sacredness of life at a time when France was experiencing the genocide of the Reign of Terror," he added. "
