Pastor Angélicus

If you have 1 hour and 24 seconds and you enjoy watching clips of Pope Pius XII, then I recommend you watch this video: Pastor Angélicus (Click on link).

The video is about the life and pontificate of Pius XII - It is completely in Italian, but you get to see a lot of things that we do not get to see today.

Santa Maria sopra Minerva

Santa Maria sopra Minerva

O.K. Here is another short video (10 mins and 35 secs) of Pope Pius XII. This was a Mass in honor of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Catherine of Sienna at the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.

Almost at the end, you will here our Pope preach!

Enjoy!

Salus Pópuli Románi

Another video for those of you who just love seeing the Angelic Pope in liturgical action!

This is a video (short) of the coronation of the image of Our Lady under the title "Salvation of the Roman People."

Romanism!

There are great pcitures over at hallowedground. Ken is really good at "explaining," in pictures, the kind of Romanism that we should all be proud of!

Pius XII visits St. John Lateran

Hello!

Here is another video clip of Pius XII visiting St. John Lateran (Sacrosancta Lateranensis ecclesia omnium urbis et orbis ecclesiarum mater et caput).

Almost at the end of the clip, you can see Pius XII standing on the Sedia (on the loggia) and giving the Papal Blessing!

Burial of Pius XII

Hello!

Here is another video clip: 7 mins long. It is a video of the burial of Pius XII. There is no sound, but you should be able to see a lot - which will compensate for the lack of audio.

Sepoltura di Pio XII

Enjoy!

Dogma of the Assumption II

I have found a longer version of the clip where Pius XII is declaring the Dogma of the Assumption. This longer version includes a prayer that Pius XII says after the declaration, and the quality is a little better.

Holy Doors

O.K. guys, you are in luck!

Some time ago, I saw a picture of Pius X opening the Holy Doors over at hallowedground. It was a beautiful picture! I'm talking about this picture:

Now, I have found a video (8 mins long!) of Pius XII opening the Holy Doors! It can't get better than this! The video is a little too dark, but you can still see what is going on. AND you get to see Pius XII opening the Doors (kneeling holding the Cross, etc.).

Papal Blessing: Easter

O.K. guys, here is another one!

This is a video clip of Pius XII giving the Papal Blessing during Easter (Pasqua Romana). This is great! You can see and hear everything! Pius XII really knew how to do things! Just take a look at the video and you'll see!

Holy Year

Hello again!

Here is another short clip of Puis XII reading the Bull in which he declares the Holy Year. There is no audio, but you can still see some things.

Dogma of the Assumption

Hello!

Here is something I found that many, many of you will just enjoy! It is a short (4 mins) clip of when Pius XII is declaring the dogma of the Assumption. The quality of the video is not the best, but you can see some things AND you can hear everything, especially the last paragraph of the declaration of the dogma IN LATIN!!! Enjoy!

Assumption

At the beginning, the image of our Lady under the title of Salus Pópuli Románi is carried in procession. About 250,000 pilgrims show up for this unique event and about 600 bishops/archbishops. Cardinal Tisserant is the one who solemnely (and officially) asks the Pope (during the ceremonies) to proclaim the Dogma of the Assumption.

If only we had a video clip of the declarati0n of the Immaculate Conception......
