Fr. Beach, nice video of your "missa privata" - well made. I have a question: what was the subdeacon holding elevated under a humeral veil at one point during the Mass? Man, that Mass was awesome and the Institute guys seemed to be nice, normal, hospitable fellows - nothing stuffy about 'em. I was delighted as I was leaving the sacristy to hear one of them kindly teaching a young altar boy: "Do you know who you are serving? First, you are serving God. Second you are serving the priest..."
Ultramontanism is a religious philosophy within the Catholic Church that places strong emphasis on the prerogatives and powers of the pope. In particular, ultramontanism asserts the superiority of Papal authority over the authority of local temporal power.
The term originates in ecclesiastical language from the Middle Ages and means literally "beyond the mountains" (referring to the Alps).
The word was revived after the Protestant Reformation in France. In France, the name "ultramontain" was applied to people who supported papal authority in French political affairs. "The man beyond the mountains" referred to the pope, located in Italy.
Those of an Ultramontanist philosophy take comfort in the retention of doctrinal and disciplinary supremacy by the Roman Pontiff and the Roman Curia which serves and represents him.

The subdeacon holds the paten with a humeral veil during the Canon of the Mass... returns it to the celebrant via the deacon after the "Pater Noster."
Yeah, I spent a good while talking with a few of them after my Mass. They were all quite amicable... an impressive bunch.
