Myles Domini Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Much good could come of this...With their intimate understanding of what liturgy should be the priests of the Fraternity could become a major force for the 'reform of the reform'. As beautiful as the Mass of the 1962 is it highly unlikely to ever become the Missa Normativa of the Latin Church. It is thus neccessary to look again at the 1969 reform and attempt to beautify it, restore the sense of the sacred to it and elimate all abuses wrought upon it. Tell me do they say the Pauline Mass facing eschatological east? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][snapback]699010[/snapback][/right] [/quote] This is news to me. I am aware that they are encouraged to concelebrate the Chrism Mass on Holy Thursday with the priests and bishops of the diocese in which they reside, but I didn't know about anything more than that. Where did you hear about this, Sam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 various trad sites. i think Novus Ordo reforms can come of themselves with the suppourt of the Papacy. i think that the Tridentine mass still needs to be celebrated and if it isn't i could tell you i would leave the church. Novus ordo reform is important but so is the Tridentine mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudate_Dominum Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Well, it makes sense since FSSP people ought to recognize the validity of the novus ordo and since they might be in a situation at some point in their priestly ministry where it would be appropriate for them to celebrate this rite. But it would certainly be absurd if they started celebrating the novus ordo most of the time, or even regularly, since their charism and spirituality is tied to the old rite. God bless.

[right][snapback]699149[/snapback][/right] [/quote] It makes sense.. I mean if a FSSP priest was picking up the slack in a diocese in need of priests it seems like they might need to offer the NO Mass too because Latin Mass devotees are a minority. And I think this is good because they could celebrate the NO properly and in a most reverent way so maybe it would help heal the culture and show the beauty and dignity of the Mass to people who would never go to a Latin Mass and have only known Masses with liturgical abuse and stuff. God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][snapback]699315[/snapback][/right] [/quote] There is often more to it than that. The integrity of the Mass is connected with a correct understanding of the nature of the Mass and fidelity to the Church's Theology of the Liturgy. It is about the relationship between ordthopraxis and orthodoxy. If this Mass is compromised the faith follows. In serious cases it is not simply a matter of personal preference. The should be obvious in extreme cases such as clown Masses in which the Liturgy is completely profaned and its true character is not only completely obscured, but mocked.

But for someone to leave the Church because they feel the Mass has been compromised is extreme. Individual priests, laity, etc. can compromise individual Masses. But to say that the Church itself compromises its own Masses is improper and un-Catholic. It seems to me that such people have forgotten Christ's promise that the gates of hell will never prevail against the Church Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story you are referring to (if it the same one I am thinking about) turned out to be misunderstood or misreported. To my knowledge they (and the other trad. orders) are not required to say the N.O. (nor should they ever be), but are allowed to if the bishop of the diocese asks them to concelebrate the Chrism Mass. They are certainly not taught the N.O. in the seminary. If they are it is quite new and quite contrary to the wishes of the vast majority of seminarians as well as contrary to the agreement between the founders of the fraternity and the Vatican. All in all, it would be a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
