Rorate Caeli

WYD: Can you feel the love? [Updated]

So, what was the church granted by the Archdiocese of Madrid for the main activities (catecheses and public Masses) of Traditional-minded Catholics during World Youth Day? The beautiful parish church of San Eduardo, a remarkable masterpiece of Christian architecture, in the Tetuán district (it is the building in the middle, with the large cross; tip: reader; source). Who needs one of the hundreds of regular-looking churches in the city, when one may have access to this stunning building?

[UPDATE:] Acción Litúrgica reports that the main venue has just been changed to the Parish Church of Saint Francis de Sales (San Francisco de Sales) , near the Estrecho (Line 1) metro station. It looks like a fine church, and it is good that some regard was shown to the needs of Traditional-minded faithful (it can often be quite challenging to adapt a church built specifically for the new liturgy to the needs of the Traditional Mass).



Note: as mentioned in a previous post, some other activities will take place in the conventual church of the  Monastery of the Visitation (Tercer Monasterio de la Visitación), the regular venue for traditional Masses in the diocese.
