Editor’s Note: In his homily Bishop Gracida tells his life history of opposing liberal Bishops in the USA. This Mass was celebrated in January, but the video only came to my attention today.

Bishop Gracida is a magnificent warrior-shepherd and an exemplar of the old saying, “Any man more right than his neighbours constitutes a majority of one.” I the early days of the Anglican Use / Pastoral Provision prototype of today’s Ordinariate) he was a rock of reassurance and encouragement to the first Episcopalian clergy to courageously join the Catholic Church in this experimental niche to undo the English Reformation; and bring back the English speaking Anglicans to full communion with Rome, whilst keeping their rich High-church customs and culture– which had once been Catholic.
Thank you. Omen est nomen. What a strong, meek grace-full voice, with such clarity and humility at 98 years old.
