As befits a Prince of the Church, Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos will be welcomed at the Cathedral west door in full cappa magna before processing to the Blessed Sacrament Chapel to pray; he will then vest in the sanctuary whilst the Cathedral choir sings. Pontifical High Mass will then be celebrated at the High Altar with all the breathtaking ceremony and music integral to the Traditional Rite. Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos will also preach.
This from the website of the Latin Mass Society of England & Wales. Their excitement is palpable, I think, and no doubt it ought to be! I suppose that there are rather few Masses of this liturgical caliber in the world each year; add to that the location, and you have a very special Mass. I put into bold those parts of the text which caught my eye - notice how the fact of his preaching is almost an afterthought (’also’) in comparison with the magnificence and splendour set to attend his entrance into the cathedral? I’m looking forward to seeing the pictures. Classy, also, I thought, how they managed to use the word ‘integral’ - wouldn’t be an integral traditionalist announcement otherwise!

I know it is common for traditional Catholics to call him Cardinal Hoyos, but that is actually incorrect. In the Hispanic culture, people are named with this formula (First Name)(Father’s Last Name)(Mother’s Maiden Name). Their custom is not the same as the English custom, but many people do not know that. If you do not wish to call him Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos as they did in the article, then the proper way refer to him is Cardinal Castrillon because his father’s name takes precedence over his mother’s. It would be most respectful of the Cardinal if you would change your headline.
