S John Henry Newman in Hungary

 I have received a perfectly charming communication from Hungary, about a church dedicated to S John Henry Newman! I wonder if it is the first such church in the world?

Here you can see Mass in the Usus Authenticus being celebrated there:

  4. Absolutely splendid, though perhaps not the regular Use of either priest or people? Interesting blend of Latin and (presumably) Hungarian, and of plainchant and popular music derived therefrom. Something similar used to be current in Normandy; recordings of exist of pre-V2 parish Sunday Vespers, which the people entered into with gusto but which might horrify the purists.
