A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite
A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite Mass Structures Orientation Language The purpose of this presentation is to prepare you for what will very likely be your first Traditional Latin Mass (TLM). This is officially named “The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” We will try to do that by comparing it to what you already know - the Novus Ordo Missae (NOM). This is officially named “The Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” In “Mass Structures” we will look at differences in form. While the TLM really has only one structure, the NOM has many options. As we shall see, it has so many in fact, that it is virtually impossible for the person in the pew to determine whether the priest actually performs one of the many variations according to the rubrics (rules) for celebrating the NOM. Then, we will briefly examine the two most obvious differences in the performance of the Mass - the orientation of the priest (and people) and the language used. The orientation of the priest in the TLM is towards the altar. In this position, he is facing the same direction as the people, liturgical “east” and, in a traditional church, they are both looking at the tabernacle and/or crucifix in the center of the altar. The language of the TLM is, of course, Latin. It has been Latin since before the year 400. The NOM was written in Latin but is usually performed in the language of the immediate location - the vernacular.

The Roman Missal: the Order of Mass — a Guide for Composers
The Roman Missal The Order of Mass — A Guide for Composers DRAFT TEXT This document is being prepared to support the eventual publication of the English and Welsh edition of the Roman Missal 3rd edition. It will not be finalised until the English translation has received approval. At that the approved texts for the Order of Mass will be inserted together with any further information about the provision of music in the new edition. Until that time this document is offered for comment and as an indication of future guidance. Introduction The publication of the third edition of the Missale Romanum in 2002 and the subsequent translation into the vernacular offers an opportunity to both evaluate current musical settings for the Mass and provide guidance to composers in the future. This guide for composers highlights the provision for music in the Order of Mass in the Roman Missal. It brings together the core texts of the liturgy for musical setting as a reference and recommends best practice. This guide does not cover: the rites of Liturgical Year, celebrations of Sacraments and Funerals or the provision of hymns though many of the principles described will apply. This document is arranged in two parts. The Introduction is divided into sections on the Ministry of the Composer and general principles about the setting of liturgical texts and music for the liturgy. The second part is a description of the Order of Mass with details of both the liturgical and musical issues affecting each part. The Ministry of the Composer Composers, filled with the Christian spirit, should feel that their vocation is to develop sacred music and increase its store of treasures. -
Dialogue Mass
DIALOGUE MASS Rev Edward Black As must surely be the case with many readers of The Remnant, I have followed the series of articles on the Dialogue Mass under the title ”Debating The Relevant Issues” with increasing bemusement. In what sense is the question of the Dialogue Mass relevant to us and where is this debate going? The extremely detailed article of Mr Tofari was certainly reminiscent of the content and style of the liturgical reformers of the 1950s and it is not surprising that it should have evinced the alarmed response of Mr Dahl. Are there really any traditional Catholics ready to repeat the painful experiences of 50 years ago? Mr Tofari’s article seems to indicate that he, at least, is one. Although he rightly states that Dialogue Mass is not a matter of doctrine but of praxis, he nevertheless also states that it is an important question. Indeed it is. Silence and sound are mutually exclusive. If his assertion is ever conceded in practice that a single person who decides to avail himself of making the responses at Mass has every right to do so then it spells the final end of what was once the universal and exclusive practice of the Western Church for more than 1000 years. Although this is an important matter, it is likewise a tiresome one — for it seems that every traditional institution and practice must be permanently placed in a position of self — defence and called upon at any time to justify itself. The standard procedure of the liturgical reformers has always been to appeal to the practice of the early Church, ignoring the greater part of her history until the 20th century, (save for the purposes of ridiculing it), in order to justify their innovations. -

The Sanctoral Cycle of the Extraordinary Form
Fœderatio Internationalis Una Voce Positio N. 33 THE SANCTORAL CYCLE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY FORM FEBRUARY 2018 From the General Introduction These papers, commissioned by the International Federation Una Voce, are offered to stimulate and inform debate about the 1962 Missal among Catholics ‘attached to the ancient Latin liturgical traditions’, and others interested in the liturgical renewal of the Church. They are not to be taken to imply personal or moral criticism of those today or in the past who have adopted practices or advocated reforms which are subjected to criticism. In composing these papers we adopt the working assumption that our fellow Catholics act in good will, but that nevertheless a vigorous and well-informed debate is absolutely necessary if those who act in good will are to do so in light of a proper understanding of the issues. The authors of the papers are not named, as the papers are not the product of any one person, and also because we prefer them to be judged on the basis of their content, not their authorship. The International Federation Una Voce humbly submits the opinions contained in these papers to the judgement of the Church. THE SANCTORAL CYCLE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY FORM: Abstract Pope Benedict XVI foresaw the inclusion of new saints in the calendar of the Extraordinary Form. This does not imply that this Form will cease to have a distinct calendar; calendrical differences have always been a feature of the Church’s liturgy. The EF Sanctoral Cycle is distinctive in having a greater number of feasts than that of the Ordinary Form; of including a large number of very ancient saints; and of commemorating the miraculous. -

The Role of the Competent Ecclesiastical Authority in the Reform of the Liturgy And, Ultimately, That of the Church Herself
QL 95 (2014) 8-27 doi: 10.2143/QL.95.1.3030643 © 2014, all rights reserved THEROLEOFTHECOMPETENT ECCLESIASTICAL AUTHORITY IN THE PROMOTION OF PARTICIPATIO ACTUOSA PRIOR TO THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL Of all the aims of Sacrosanctum Concilium, the restoration of the full and active participation of the Christian faithful is to be considered before all else in the reform and promotion of the liturgy: Mother Church earnestly desires that all the faithful should be led to that full, conscious, and active participation in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature of the liturgy, and to which the Christian people, “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a redeemed peo- ple” (1 Pet 2:9, 4-5) have a right and obligation by reason of their bap- tism. In the restoration and promotion of the sacred liturgy the full and active participation by all the peoples the aim to be considered before all else, for it is the primary and indispensable source from which the faithful are to derive the true Christian spirit. Therefore, in all their apostolic activity, pastors of souls should energetically set about achieving it through the requisite pedagogy (SC, n. 14). Since the Second Vatican Council successfully ushered in many far- reaching and significant reforms of the liturgy, it is not surprising that, as Huels observes, “popular and scholarly writings, lectures and courses often look to Vatican II as the starting point, rather than the turning point, of the process that led to the restored rites of the contemporary Latin Church.”1 This is due in large part to ignorance of pre-conciliar sources of liturgical reform, and, at times, simplistic characterizations of liturgi- cal worship prior to the Second Vatican Council. -

They are not to be taken to imply personal or moral criticism of those today or in the past who have adopted practices or advocated reforms which are subjected to criticism. In composing these papers we adopt the working assumption that our fellow Catholics act in good will, but that nevertheless a vigorous and well-informed debate is absolutely necessary if those who act in good will are to do so in light of a proper understanding of the issues.

The International Federation Una Voce humbly submits the opinions contained in these papers to the judgement of the Church. Liturgical Orientation: Abstract The celebration of Mass ad orientem (towards the East, away from the people) is a very visible difference between the Extraordinary Form and most celebrations of the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite. Celebration versus populum was known in the early centuries, and in certain churches later (notably, St Peter’s Basilica in Rome), but celebration ad orientem was more common, and in any case the value of the practice cannot be determined solely by ancient practice. -
The Manner of Receiving Holy Communion
Fœderatio Internationalis Una Voce Positio N. 3 THE MANNER OF RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION APRIL 2012 From the General Introduction These papers, commissioned by the International Federation Una Voce , are offered to stimulate and inform debate about the 1962 Missal among Catholics ‘attached to the ancient Latin liturgical tradition’, and others interested in the liturgical renewal of the Church. They are not to be taken to imply personal or moral criticism of those today or in the past who have adopted practices or advocated reforms which are subjected to criticism.

The International Federation Una Voce humbly submits the opinions contained in these papers to the judgement of the Church. The Manner of Receiving Holy Communion: Abstract The Instruction Universae Ecclesiae makes it clear that Holy Communion is to be received kneeling and on the tongue at celebrations of the Extraordinary Form. Reception on the tongue is, in fact, the universal law of the Church, from which particular Episcopal Conferences have received derogations. The value of kneeling to show one’s humility in the presence of the sacred is affirmed in innumerable texts of Scripture and emphasised by Pope Benedict XVI in his book ‘The Spirit of the Liturgy’.
