  • 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 Attractiveness of the Tridentine Mass by Alfons Cardinal Stickler
    The Attractiveness of the Tridentine Mass by Alfons Cardinal Stickler Cardinal Alfons Stickler, retired prefect of the Vatican Archives and Library, is normally reticent. Not so during his trip to the New York area in May [1995]. Speaking at a conference co-sponsored by Fr. John Perricon's ChistiFideles and Howard Walsh's Keep the Faith, the Cardinal scored Catholics within the fold who have undermined the Church—and in the final third of his speech made clear his view that the "Mass of the post-Conciliar liturgical commission" was a betrayal of the Council fathers. The robust 84-year-old Austrian scholar, a Salesian who served as peritus to four Vatican II commissions (including Liturgy), will celebrate his 60th anniversary as a priest in 1997. Among his many achievements: The Case for Clerical Celibacy (Ignatius Press), which documents that the celibate priesthood was mandated from the earliest days of the Church. Cardinal Stickler lives at the Vatican. The Tridentine Mass means the rite of the Mass which was fixed by Pope Pius V at the request of the Council of Trent and promulgated on December 5, 1570. This Missal contains the old Roman rite, from which various additions and alterations were removed. When it was promulgated, other rites were retained that had existed for at least 200 years. Therefore, is more correct to call this Missal the liturgy of Pope Pius V. Faith and Liturgy From the very beginning of the Church, faith and liturgy have been intimately connected. A clear proof of this can be found in the Council of Trent itself.

Effective September 14, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI loosened the restrictions on the use of the 1962 Missal, such that the special permission of the bishop is no longer required. This action was taken because, as universal shepherd, His Holiness has a heart for the unity of the Church, and sees the option of allowing a more generous use of the Mass of 1962 as a way to foster that unity and heal any breaches that may have occurred after Vatican II.

The extensive timelines have been broken into ten stages, drawing attention to a number of periods and reasons in the history of those eras for the unique experience of vernacular liturgy and the issues connected with it in the Western Catholic Church of our time. The role and function of International Committee of English in the Liturgy (ICEL) over its forty year existence still has a major impact on the way we worship in English. This article deals with the restructuring of ICEL which had been the centre of much controversy in recent years and now operates under different protocols.

  • Modern Alternative Popes*
    Modern Alternative Popes* Magnus Lundberg Uppsala University The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) is arguably the most important event in modern Catholicism, and a major act on the twentieth-century religious scene at large. On several points, the conciliar fathers made changes in how the Catholic Church perceived the modern world. The language in the decrees was different from earlier councils’, and the bishops opened up for ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, seeing at least “seeds of truth” in other religious traditions. The conciliar fathers also voted in favour of liberty of religion, as meaning something more than the right to practise Catholic faith. A very concrete effect of the Council was the introduction of the New Mass Order (Novus Ordo Missae) in 1969 that replaced the traditional Roman rite, decreed by Pius V in 1570. Apart from changes in content, under normal circumstances, the new mass should be read in the vernacular, not in Latin as before. Though many Catholics welcomed the reforms of Vatican II, many did not. In the period just after the end of the Council, large numbers of priests and nuns were laicized, few new priest candidates entered the seminaries, and many laypeople did not recognize the church and the liturgy, which they had grown up with. In the post- conciliar era, there developed several traditionalist groups that criticized the reforms and in particular the introduction of the Novus Ordo. Their criticism could be more or less radical, and more or less activist. Many stayed in their parishes and attended mass there, but remained faithful to traditional forms of devotions and paid much attention to modern Marian apparitions.

  • Tridentine Community News May 23, 2010
    Tridentine Community News May 23, 2010 Beyond the New English Ordinary Form Missal: 6. It is not pastorally appropriate to suggest that the judgment of Other Issues With Approved Translations – Part 3 the Canadian and American bishops in approving the NRSV and NAB translations may have been flawed. Our bishops did so In Part 2 of this column series, we compared English translations recognizing that these particular translations were the work of of the Holy Bible. We provided an example of the same passage Catholic, Protestant, Eastern Orthodox, and Jewish scholarly of Holy Scripture as translated in the Douay-Rheims Bible (used translating teams whose focus was accuracy. They are direct in most translations of the Extraordinary Form of Holy Mass), the responses to Pope Pius XII’s encyclical and eminently suitable. New American Bible (used in the Ordinary Form in the United States), and the New Revised Standard Version (used in the A Clarification of Our Own Thoughts Ordinary Form in Canada). Our argument was that the Douay’s use of hierarchical language when addressing God, along with We cannot be cafeteria Catholics. We cannot accuse liberal other reverent constructs of English, are particularly fitting Catholics of picking and choosing what they like, if we of a more expressions of the content of the Bible, consistent with traditional bent are guilty of the same. Our column was not meant commonly-found English translations of the Ordinary and to suggest that we approached the topic from a perspective of Orations of the Tridentine Mass. Biblical expertise. Quite the contrary: this author is relatively unfamiliar with the Holy Bible, and is not qualified to debate, for We are always open to corrections and differing views.

  • U.S. Bishops Say Pope Affirming Importance of Mass in Both Its Forms
    U.S. bishops say pope affirming importance of Mass in both its forms WASHINGTON – U.S. church leaders cautioned against what one called “early and false conclusions” about Pope Benedict XVI’s July 7 document expanding the use of the Tridentine Mass and said it should be seen primarily as an affirmation of the importance of reverential participation in the Mass, whether in its ordinary or extraordinary form. Cardinal Adam J. Maida of Detroit said the apostolic letter “Summorum Pontificum” showed the pope’s “pastoral care for those members of the faithful who desire to worship God” with the Mass according to the 1962 Roman Missal, commonly known as the Tridentine rite. But he said Pope Benedict’s decision to allow priests to celebrate the earlier form of the Mass without their bishop’s prior permission should not be seen “as calling into question the abiding significance of the teachings of the Second Vatican Council” but as a continuation of Pope John Paul II’s efforts to reach out “to those who felt alienated from the church because of the exclusive use of the postconciliar ritual.” Bishop David A. Zubik of Green Bay, Wis., said in separate letters to priests and the faithful in the diocese July 7 that they must “be careful not to arrive at early and false conclusions” about the apostolic letter. “Most importantly, I wish to state emphatically that the Mass is not changing,” he wrote in both letters. “The normal way that we have been celebrating the Mass for the past 40 years remains. What you and I are asked to do is to open our hearts and be more aware of and attentive to those who have a spiritual need for the extraordinary form of celebrating the Mass.” Bishop Zubik told priests that the papal letter appeared to be “in response to serious concerns that have been expressed in countries other than our own.” Cardinal Sean P.

  • The Latin Mass Have Shifted Over Time a Majority of Adult Catholics Express No Opinion on Return of Older Liturgy
    The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate News release Contact: Mark Gray August 24, 2009 202-687-0885 [email protected] Opinions about the Latin Mass have shifted over time A Majority of adult Catholics express no opinion on return of older liturgy Two years ago, Pope Benedict XVI gave permission for the 1962 Roman Rite Mass to be used without a priest first acquiring a bishop’s approval.1 Using the Missal of John XXIII, this Mass is celebrated in Latin with the priest and parishioners facing the same direction toward the altar. It is the last version of the Latin Mass that was first codified following the Council of Trent in the 16th century and is thus often referred to as the Latin Tridentine Mass.2 Parish priests have been instructed by the Pope to work with parishioners when there is a “stable group” who are interested in Latin Mass to provide opportunities for this liturgy to be celebrated regularly under the guidance of their bishop. According to the Mass Times Trust, operators of the popular website, www.masstimes.org, about one in every 250 parishes regularly offer a Mass in Latin in the 117,000 parishes for which listings are available (in more than 200 countries). Although the Mass in Latin is now more widely available, results of a survey conducted by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) indicates that interest is not widespread among adult Catholics in the United States. Instead, it appears that the wider availability of the Latin Mass may have come too late to appeal to the majority of Catholics today who have no memory or experience of this older form of the liturgy.

  • The Tridentine Mass / 1984 Editorial
    TRIDENTINE MASS On October 3, 1984, the Sacred Congregation of Divine Worship issued a letter concerning the limited use of the Tridentine Mass. This is the text of the letter: Four years ago, at the direction of Pope John Paul II, the bishops of the entire Church were invited to submit a report on the following topics: The manner in which the priests and the people of their dioceses, in observance of the decrees of Vatican Council II, have received the Roman Missal promulgated by author­ ity of Pope Paul VI; Problems arising in connection with the implementation of the liturgical reform; Opposition to the reform that may need to be overcome. The results of this survey here reported to all the bishops (See Notitiae, No. 185, December 1981). Based on the responses received from the bishops of the world, the problem of those priests and faithful who had remained attached to the so-called Tridentine rite seemed to have been almost completely resolved. But the problem perdures and the pope wishes to be responsive tv such groups of priests and faithful. Accordingly, he grants to diocesan bishops the faculty of using an indult on behalf of such priests and faithful. The diocesan bishop may allow those who are explicitly named in a petition submitted to him to celebrate Mass by use of the 1962 Roman Missal. The following norms must be observed: A. There must be unequivocal, even public evidence that the priest and people petition­ ing have no ties with those who impugn the lawfulness and doctrinal soundness of the Roman Missal promulgated in 1970 by Pope Paul VI.
