How To Behave In Church in Ireland 1967

- A humorous look at how some worshippers behave or misbehave in church.
By highlighting poor behaviour observed amongst church-goers, ’Radharc’ offers an entertaining take on appropriate conduct for church.
Parishioners are shown arriving late, blessing themselves incorrectly, praying too loudly, standing at the back of the church, or even chatting and smoking outside the church itself.
Of course no-one ever behaves like this in your church. But just make sure to keep it that way, not a place for bad manners and distraction but a place for reverence and prayer.
‘Radharc’, a series specialising in religious programming, was produced for RTÉ by Radharc, an independent production company run by Catholic priests and lay staff. ‘Radharc’ can be translated to English as ‘view’ or ‘panorama’.
Co-founders Fr Joe Dunn and Fr Desmond Forristal who had received training in television production in New York in 1959 gathered around them a team of like minded priests with creative talent.
The ‘Radharc’ team made their first production in 1960 in Donegal, a short film about customs relating to St Brigid’s Day. The first programme in the ‘Radharc’ series for RTÉ was broadcast on 12 January 1962.
Between 1961 and 1996 the ‘Radharc’ team would produce over 400 films in Ireland and 75 countries worldwide. The films dealt with human rights, injustice, faith, religion, persecution, struggles against oppressive regimes, famine, and Christian heritage.
The popular series ended production in 1996 after the death of Fr Joe Dunn.
This episode of ‘Radharc’ was broadcast on 15 September 1967.

Very strong jawline gene in that parish.
What's a little mandibular prognathism between kissing cousins.
I was 8 in 1967. We had to walk 3.5 miles to mass in all weathers as my Dad had no car so we were always late and had to stand at the back then face the same journey walking back. It was like an endurance test.
I am sorry . That was truly an ordeal. Offer up those hard sacrifices as Our Lady asked in reparation for the sins against her Immaculate heart.
The Mass is worth it
You needed to leave earlier
That means God loves you
Very accurate. Everyone starts coughing as the priest says his sermon. Nothing much has changed in all these years, apart from the young people standing at the back of the church. There is no young people at church nowadays.
Excellent point.
I'm 15 and go to Latin Mass
*We're all at the Latin Mass.*
In the parish I go, there are between 70-90 young adults of 18 to 30 years-old, and dozens of children. The Novus Ordo mass is dying _because_ it lacks piety and most of its priests are *poorly educated in the faith:* they no longer seek to save souls... rather... they seek to save themselves from being criticized by the world.
The youth that still cares about the faith seek truthfulness, clarity, honesty, shepherds who will not shy away from telling them when their sins are grave, and how to amend their lives in order to save their souls.
@@MystoRobot
You are lucky to have a Catholic Church full of young people.
Most Catholic Churches have no teenagers attending.
Everyone attending is over the age of 30.
Thanks be to God, my FSSP parish has more people under 10 than over 30.
This reminds me of Sunday Mass growing up in Rural Ireland... Everything here happened every Sunday.
At mass in rural Scotland too. I was an altar boy around 1970, the exact same.
‘At least those who came in late can make up for it and now leave early’ 😂
That and "the irresistible force meets the immovable object!" cracked me up!
I love the zany overdub, of Mrs. Armstrong praying at 1-03. Hilarious.
Good one.
Hilarious. An episode of Father Ted couldn't beat this!
@@VelcroKittie What?!!! I am not Catholic, practicing or otherwise, and I am not offended by Father Ted! I love FT so much I have the complete series on DVD and have watched it so often I could recite the scripts. Funniest series ever. So you assume wrongly, mate.

This is fucking genius.
If there was that much coughing in there today they would all have to qurtine for 14days
😂😂😂🤣🤣 funny how they all get covid at the sermon but are miraculously heald after it. Plus the face of the girl when she sits in the water. 😂😂🤣
Some folks used to get all dressed in their Sunday attire and stand outside the front door having a chat, and make a beeline for the pub well before the service finished.. (part of the ritual I guess)
I'm reminded of Harry Enfield and his Mr Cholmondley-Warner parodies 😀
H.P Lovecraft walks into an Irish church
I was born in England and we used to stay with my Grand Mother in Kerry during the Summer. The Women and Children went to the front of the Church and the Men stayed at the back. It was the norm at the time.
At the end straight round to the back door of the pub that wasn't open on Sunday mornings?
I've done that one.
@@COIcultist Me too.
@@COIcultist Great times.
Did the Trans men say the mass and go around to the pub through the front door, as they didn't want to be seen going via the back door? Just wondering? 🤔

The passive aggression is visceral. Good thing we don't judge each other these days.
There's no such thing as not judging. Just not stating the truth. That can be good or bad depending on the situation and on the necessity.
Nice of yer man at 01:30 to rock up in an SS coat.
He’s definitely going for the Goebbles look.
Was going to say it myself.... looks like the Gestapo are in town
@gerald kelly True that.

Love it
This video is great!. They need to start playing videos like this in school again
Nothing has changed! This is still how it is!
What? You would have no trouble getting a seat in any church these days. Indeed I am amazed more churches have not closed down such is the fall in attendances.
Nothing? Why everyone inside the church is chatting, discussing GAA, etc. quite loudly? For Polish it is disrespectful to others praying, lack of reverence to God.
@@Lar308 it because of all the nasty priests and nuns abusing kids the hypocrite I'm an ex catholic and happy I left the cult
I can remember mass as i grew up in the UK.
Catholic church, mainly Irish...women gossiping during mass, drunken Irishmen swaying and belching.
I stopped going.
Brilliant that was.
Mute it, and it's like a Dave Allen sketch.
I thought Quebecois were the only people who smoked in church

Now they're just glad if someone can just point out where the church is.
Hilarious and so accurate. That brings back memories of when I used to go to mass. As a child I had to go, of course. On the walk to mass my mother was great at spotting an invisible bit of dirt on my face or knees. Out would come the handkerchief which she'd lick before grabbing me and scrubbing me furiously with it as if I was indelibly marked. Then, sufficiently clean again apparently, I was marched up to the front of the church. Very convenient for getting communion but it meant you were one of the last out of the church after mass. And you daren't risk showing displeasure at being stuck in a heaving mass of adults for fear of getting a good smack on the bottom which your friends just might see. Smack bottoms were great entertainment so long as you weren't the one getting smacked. As I got into my mid teens the trick was to get to church just before the offertory because if you were any later, you were demed to have missed mass and you'd have to go to a later one or commit a mortal sin by not bothering.
Sort-of Teddy boys at 1:48. While these days a church's problem with 'youth culure' may have do with vandalism or theft etc in those days Teds' main crime was tardiness.
In certain parts of Ireland, if you tell a lie, your chin grows longer.
In my local churches in those days the men and women had to sit in separate sides of the room. Also women weren't allowed on the alter.
Was still like that in Clara in 1980! Weirdest thing.
@@justdefacts And in Austria as well. And in India at Hindu weddings.
No one was allowed near the altar other than the priest and his altar servers. Regardless of sex.

By my mother's mandible! It's the *Crimson chin!* Always wondered what he did when he wasn't fighting crime!
I was 10 1964
We had to wear mantillas to church until I 14 or 15
Okay I didn’t know Robin Williams did narration this long ago
Fr Fintan Stack on commentary there , he's above in Jurassic Park now, with the hairy hands.
0:42 Wow, noble chin .
Hapsburgs are still alive in Ireland 😂
This reminds me of the time I went to a Catholic church in London in July 1990.
At 0:44 - growing up as an Anglican (before I became an agnostic) - there used to be women like this in the Church of England. They always wanted the end of the "pew" as we call it, and not bench. They always liked the end of the pew for some unknown reason.
Sadly, this continues at TLM parishes everywhere. I'm one of the worst, so I should know...😒
This is a great piss take
Did anyone else notice the size of yer man’s chin? They don’t make chins like that anymore.
Hilarious stuff
I've been to mass in Ireland. Number one, I needed subtitles because I didn't understand a word the priest was saying and if I didn't know the mass by heart I would have been lost. The other thing was there's no holding back when it's time to go up for the Eucharist, it's every man woman and child for himself. If you hesitate you're going to be pushed into the gutter while the little old ladies elbow their way up to be first in line. Plus, they don't sing, and they don't even have a pretense of singing cuz there are no hymnals in the pews. No matter though. I'd be thrilled to be back over in Ireland attending Mass.
You'l have to wait until lockdown is over. Mass is banned at the moment.
Just like the penal days, we'll have to meet in secret at the Rock. Criminal, what they've done to us.

Lots of respect showed then to God, all gone now unfortunately
Best thing that ever happened was the decline of that lot

Agreed
I still have a good faith thank God but I don't blame people for turning away from the catholic faith, down to personal choice I guess, prayers keep me going 😊
@@Amelia-bd2tj society is falling apart in tandem

who is the holy joe with the big chin?
Fantastic.
It must’ve been a hoot making the video😊
That made me giggle, wonder what they would think these days!!??? I am amused that there were many more faiths religions beliefs than Roman Catholicism!!!
How many people are hung over in there?
An Ireland that no longer exists
Have you been to latin Holy mass lately? It's even better.
Thankfully, can't wait until the church is finally dead for good. We can turn them into homeless or refuger shelters or something else useful
Anyone know where this comes from? Catholic Truth Society? The Catholic Broadcasting and Communications Team? I would love to know...
i can't begin to tell you how much I love this clip. THANK YOU X
You left out the old women who poked little kids in the back for moving or looking about.
And those who are always too late, but absolutely have to light candles first and throw the money loudly into the offering box and then get into the first row.
He has a chin as long as the pues
And that lady at the end was never seen again. And everyone else died of COVID-19. The End.
Oh boy. I think I would have to leave
@0:41 I didn't know that the last of the Habsburgs was to be found in Ireland in the 1960s.

Doing the Traditional Latin Mass I see 😎
Yeah, mass was better when you couldn't understand a word, hah?
The English translation is literally on the adjacent page in the Missal.
@@saucyvinnie3812 great so, still don't see the point when latin isn't the original language of much of the new testament or old testament. handy for latin learners i suppose?
Arianrhod Hyde Latin was one of the three languages on the Cross of our dying Lord, so it is intimately tied to salvation history. Moreover, maintaining the original language, and the original *sense* of Scripture is not necessarily the same thing. The Latin Vulgate translated by St. Jerome, who had access to the very best manuscripts at the time in the 5th Century was the very first Bible made shortly after the canon was established by the Church after a series of Councils. This, along with the Latin liturgy of the Latin West, cooperates with Scripture to preserve the sense, meaning, and right belief within the life of the Church that is traditioned from generation to generation. Attending the Latin Mass plugs you into that Tradition, the transmission of Revelation in both its written and unwritten forms, in a very deep, immersive way. After all, how we pray affects how we believe and vice versa.
@@joshuareagan8819 I'll take your point about the latin vulgate being a good translation of the new testament, but the Latin on the cross was surely written by and for the Romans who were murdering him, and while I assume the Latin mass could be useful for understanding the historical experiences of western catholics, I'm not interested in maintaining that tradition. Enjoy yourselves I guess.

It's exactly like the Last Supper! Good old Latin Mass. :-)
What the Last Supper was in Latin? What indication do you have that any of the Apostels even could speak or understand Latin?
@Adolph Paffen
I was using sarcasm.
Neither the Lord nor his earliest disciples spoke Latin, but more likely Aramaic, Hebrew and maybe some Greek, but certainly not Latin.
For a genuinely Traditional Mass, we would have to celebrate it in Aramaic / Hebrew, as part of a meal held in someone's home, reclining on couches, with no altar rails, missals, incense, mitres or Gregorian chant....
@@a.t.c.3862 You need to be careful even with over the top sarcasm, because some radical Traditionalist Roman Catholics actually believe that what they call the Tradtional Latin Mass was celebrated by the Apostels. They aren't aware of the numerous Ancient Litugical Rites of both East and West. Actually, unless their families are from Rome or its surrounding areas their ancestors of even a few 100 years ago would not have worshiped using what they call the Traditional Latin Mass. England for instance used the Sarum Rite before the Protestant Refomation. Nor are they aware of people like Sts. Cyril and Methodius who a little over 1000 years ago translated with the blessing of the Pope the Liturgy in Slavic for the benefit of their missionary efforts in Slavic Lands. Yes, at the time Sts. Cyril and Methodius were opposed by the German Bishops who didn't like that the Liturgy was being translated into a Slavic Language. Many Traditional Roman Catholics aren't even aware that in Rome the Liturgy was usually celebrated in Greek for the 1st 300 years or so.
The early Church adapted the Ancient Liturgies of the Jerusalem Temple and Ancient Liturgies of the Synagogue for Christian worship. It is interesting to study Ancient Liturgies of East and West, Liturgie of St. James, St. Basil the Great, the Coptic Liturgies of Egypt, the Maronite Liturgies of Labanon, the Liturgies of the Ethiopia, the Ancient Liturgies of the French Church etc.
@@a.t.c.3862 the mass is both a meal and a sacrifice, to get rid of the sacrificial aspect of the Mass is protestant
@A.C. And the Catholic Church has not done that. Though the neo-pharisees of the old Mass in Latin, falsely accused Her of it.
When in Dublin in the early 2000's, there were obnoxious pickpockets outside who followed me into the church. There were a few people in the church praying, it was in the afternoon. Anyway, the obnoxious would be thieves started to ask for money. I told them no and to leave me alone, the biggest lug of them started yelling 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry' over and over. No one did a thing. Kinda cowardly imo I did say something to the lug but said it quietly.
Was this meant to be a comedy type thing??
No...but also...yes
@@dicklimerick7 lolol what a country we have...

A TH-cam video of a TH-cam video. You're just begging for loss of quality. I'm not snooty so I don't care though. As long as it doesn't look like it was filmed with a potato. It's kind funny. It reminds me of the days of VHS when you'd make a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a tape and the quality would be so badly degraded from getting like a 5th generation copy of some bootleg tape. I know with computer software the loss is much MUCH less than it used to be. And I'm no expert, but I believe lossless quality does exist. But I don't believe any process is 100% efficient due to physics, so I wouldn't be surprised if lossless was still somewhat lossy.
The above are all actors, pretty obvious.
No one claimed otherwise.
That was brilliant

Question!
Did people actually start to cough like that during the sermon or is the video exaggerating just how common it was for people to do that?
I’m trying to understand if people were actually that disrespectful (that’s how it seems at least) or if it was almost a ritual for some, or what
