John Zuhlsdorf o{]:¬) QUAERITUR: Justify ad orientem worship in light of GIRM 299 Posted on 22 April 2009 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf From a reader: I’m a student at ___, studying Psychology and Theology. First off, IMy name’s __, and I’d like to thank you for your blog. I’ve learned a lot that I’ve been able to share with my friends about the Sacred Liturgy. The topic of ad orientam worship seems to come up a lot on your blog. Personally, I would prefer that Holy Mass be celebrated that way, but while studying the GIRM (I was in the seminary for a 3 semesters) I ran across paragraph 299: “The altar should be built apart from the wall, in such a way that it is possible to walk around it easily and that Mass can be celebrated at it facing the people, which is desirable wherever possible…”. You speak a lot about following the rubrics and the GIRM, saying mass the way Holy Mother Church commands us to. You’ve cited the GIRM to encourage things like chalice veils. How can you reconcile your endorsement of ad orientam worship in the Ordinary Form with your insistence on “Say the Black, Do the Red”? Not attacking you of course, Father, just wondering what your rationale is? I have written about GIRM 299 several times. Here is a good link to one entry: What Does GIRM 299 Really Say? The short answer is that you have been duped, probably on purpose.

The response often returned when raising this issue with various members of the Catholic clergy is: ‘well, that would be a Protestant prac- tice.’ This apparent association of academic dress with the Protestant denominations seems to have led to the total abandonment of academic dress amongst the clergy and laity of the Catholic Church.

    The History of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church 1909-1910

    History of NBVM 1 The History of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church 1909-1910 Compiled by Estrella Brown June 2010 In 1909, priests and their “Chapel Cars” who made their rounds through smaller towns held services in parishioners’ homes. During 1909, Reverend Fr. Servais from St. Patrick’s Parish in Portland held many of the services in the International Order of Odd Fellows Hall in the Dietz building at the corner of East Second and A Streets. According to the Catholic Sentinel, Jan 14, 1909, Rev. Father Servais celebrated mass on the second and fourth Sundays of each month at both Rainier and Goble. From Feb. 24-28, 1909, Fr. O’Brien, O.P. of Portland gave a series of lectures at the I.O.O.F. Hall. The women of the parish were also very active during this year and formed the Catholic Ladies Aid Society. Besides this group, they also formed the Catholic Sewing Society and gave a Christmas bazaar in Dec. 1909. According to The Rainier Review in the Dec. 16, 1909 issue it was “one of the most successful bazaars ever held in this city…Under the efficient management of Mrs. Chas. Clark the bazaar was successfully carried out. Too much cannot be said of the valuable aid rendered by Mrs. Lee, Mrs. B. Clark, and Mrs. Sheerin, while Mesdames Chambers, O’Leary, Werthes and Vogal and the Misses O’Leary, Nema Brough and May Gallagher all assisted materially to make the bazaar a success. Contributions also came from Mesdames Simmons, David, Burns, Lowe, Flynn and Downing.” In August of 1909, Rev.

Mon Mar 16, 2020 - 7:51 pm EST SHUTTERSTOCK.COM By Paul Smeaton March 16, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Earl Boyea of the Catholic Diocese of Lansing, Michigan, is continuing Sunday Masses, has urged parishes to keep churches open, to bring Holy Communion to those self-isolating, and is encouraging Eucharistic Adoration and devotion to St. Joseph in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. “In order not to stifle people’s understandable desire for greater closeness with Christ at this time of heightened public worry, I would urge parishes to keep churches open for as long as possible each day so that both clergy and lay faithful can spend time with Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament,” a statement from Boyea issued last Friday read. “Similarly, I would urge parishes to be generous with the provision of Eucharistic Adoration.” https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/us-bishop-continues-public-sunday-masses-keeps-churches-open-during-coronavirus-outbreak 1/3 17/3/2020 US bishop continues public Sunday Masses, keeps churches open during coronavirus outbreak | News | LifeSite Boyea has dispensed the obligation of attending Mass each Sunday, but Sunday Masses have not been canceled, despite an Executive Order from Michigan’s governor that public gatherings be limited to a maximum of 250 people. Boyea says the diocese will attempt to comply with the order and has asked parishes to cancel any non-liturgical events that attract more than 250 people.
