| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Father Gregory Pine, an assistant director for the Thomistic Institute, and it's my joy to welcome you back for this most recent installment of off-campus conversations, where we follow up with a professor who has given a lecture on campus |
| 0:23.8 | or in the context of a retreat or otherwise, so that way we can chase down some of those insights |
| 0:30.7 | and continue the conversation. So for this installment, I'm very delighted to be joined by |
| 0:35.7 | Father Michael Long. Thanks so much for joining. |
| 0:38.3 | Very pleased to be part of this conversation, Father Gregory. |
| 0:42.3 | Wonderful. I'm sure many people listening in will know you from your various publications on the liturgy and beyond, from your work with the congregation of divine worship, |
| 0:52.3 | from contributions that you've made in other |
| 0:55.5 | outlets. For those who don't know you, would you say a word of introduction, who you are, |
| 0:59.8 | where you're from, and what you do? I am originally from near Nuremberg in Germany. |
| 1:08.0 | Then I went to study in England, and for well over 20 20 years now I've been an oratorian, a member of the Congregation of the Oratory of St. Philippinari in London. |
| 1:18.6 | So here I share in the pastoral work of our church, our various apostolates. I also teach church history at Alan Hall |
| 1:32.0 | Seminary and at St. Barry's University, Twickenham. This is my main work and my research, |
| 1:41.6 | interest, especially in the last few years, have been really a liturgy, history of the |
| 1:48.2 | liturgy, but also contemporary liturgical questions. Wonderful. In the lecture that you gave, |
| 1:55.9 | you focused on various aspects of Eucharistic life and devotion, thinking about, you know, |
| 2:03.5 | like whether one stands or kneels for the Eucharistic prayer, whether one receives on the |
| 2:08.3 | hand or on the tongue, whether there be a tabernacle on the high altar, or, you know, |
| 2:13.7 | if the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in another place or in another situation. |
| 2:18.6 | So, so various questions, all of which I think, you know, maybe some people are made uncomfortable |
| 2:24.1 | because it can be contentious or because those types of conversations, depending on the setting, |
| 2:30.3 | can be a bit fraught. But I thought that the way that you introduced them, you know, |
| 2:33.9 | like very modestly, very humbly and historically was a great onboarding point. |
