    Thanks for the links. I have added some to the site. I have the video on my other blog (Creative Minority Reports), I loved it. Trying to keep this site informational, for now.

    I do intend to cover the implementation of Summorum Ponitficum . The good, the bad, and the ugly. We will see how it goes.

  5. One thing that might be helpful (although I don't have links to give) might be to link to a website that sells the approved 1962 Roman Ritual. The Roman Missal has been easy to find, but since all the sacraments (except priestly ordination) have been approved for use, this would be a service for priests who want to buy them (and laity who want to buy them for priests!)

    Loreto Publications has a reprint on a three volume Roman Ritual, but, unsure as I am- and I am sure many priests as well- of the proper edition I am hesitant to buy it.

    Thanks for this great blog, and God bless you!

  10. I have read the letters of all four bishops that have been posted so far. There is nothing in any of them that suggests any hostility towards the terms of the Motu Proprio. The only reservation might be, where Archbishop of Miami makes reference to having allowed the "Latin Mass" for 20 years, but is not clear on which one.

    Ultimately, it matters less what these bishops say, than what they do. And what they do has been spelled out to them in no uncertain terms -- for all to see. If they are to act in bad faith, they will do so with an audience, one with their superiors in the front row.

  34. To provide information to those who attend the N.O. parishes, could a 'sample' information article on Summorum Pontificum be created and posted on your website? People could then take this article to 5-10 local parishes for publication in the weekly bulletins. It would help these parishioners better understand the Summorium Pontificum.

    Also, may I suggest placing the Vatican website, your website, lumengentleman, ecclesia dei, una voce websites etc. in this article?

    This would give us something solid to bring to the parishes for publication in the bulletins. Think of the thousands of people who would be informed!!

    May I also suggest that this notice be run in the bulletins every week until September 14th.

    Thank you for your super website. I've been referring to it as 'info central' for the Summorum Pontificum.

  39. The publication of Summorum Pontificum foresees laymen asking that the Mass be celebrated according to the Roman Missal of 1962 promulgated by Blessed John XXIII in their parish. It would be helpful to those of us who intend to request it to have examples of letters requesting that the Mass be celebrated at one mass every Sunday in our parish. Perhaps readers might provide examples of their letters and this website could provide a centralized repository.

  48. I can't find our bishop's official statement online, but here's the text that was sent out (Diocese of Savannah, GA):

    Statement by Bishop J. Kevin Boland on Pope Benedict’s Letter
    re: Expanding Use of Extraordinary Mass
    July 9, 2007
    On Saturday, July 7, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI issued an Apostolic letter
    relaxing restrictions on the use of the Mass that was celebrated by the
    Catholic Church prior to Vatican Council II. This Mass is the one that
    follows the Roman Missal promulgated by Blessed John XXIII in 1962.
    Frequently it is referred to as the Latin Mass.
    The Apostolic letter takes effect on September 14, 2007, the feast of the
    Triumph of the Holy Cross.
    What does issuance of this Apostolic letter mean for the Diocese of
    Savannah?
    First, the Holy Father clarified that there will be a twofold use of the one
    Roman rite of the Catholic Church. There will be the ordinary form—the
    Mass we have been celebrating for the past 40 years—and the
    extraordinary form—the Mass that was promulgated by Blessed John XXIII
    in 1962. This Mass is celebrated in Latin.
    Presently in the Diocese of Savannah we have at least three priests who
    are capable of celebrating the extraordinary Mass of the Roman rite. There
    may be others.
    In the city of Savannah the Mass promulgated by Blessed John XXIII is
    offered bimonthly. Sixty to seventy people attend. Prior to this instruction
    from Pope Benedict it was necessary for the Bishop to give permission for
    this Mass to be celebrated. Now any priest (provided he has the necessary
    skills) may offer this Mass privately. The public may attend if they so wish.
    The priest does not need the permission of the Bishop or the Holy See.
    We will have to retool and reeducate, and all of this takes time. Many
    priests know little or any Latin. It will be a challenge, and in some cases
    they may not wish to celebrate the extraordinary form of the Roman rite.
    The biggest challenge will be the availability of priests who are
    knowledgeable enough to celebrate the extraordinary form.
    We are deeply committed to do our best to meet the religious needs of the
    people who are deeply devoted to the Roman rite of the Catholic Mass
    promulgated by Blessed John XXIII in 1962.
    With this new Apostolic letter, the Holy Father, Pope Benedict, has
    expanded the use of the Roman missal that was in place immediately prior
    to Vatican Council II. It is a matter of the twofold use of one rite. No matter
    which form of the rite is used, it is essential that the celebration of Mass be
    one of great reverence in harmony with the rubrics (directives) which apply
    to each form. With more availability of the extraordinary rite, there will be a
    renewed emphasis on celebrating both forms with greater dignity and
    reverence.
    To facilitate and coordinate proper planning and implementation of this
    Apostolic Exhortation I have appointed Monsignor William O. O’Neill as
    Diocesan Director.
    It will take time to put a plan in place. In the meantime, if any priests are
    interested in developing the necessary skills to celebrate the Mass
    promulgated by Pope John XXIII, please contact Msgr. O’Neill at (912) 233-
    4709; or by email at wooneill@aol.com .

    Generally favorable with one concerning paragraph:

    Second, where a “stable” group of faithful who adhere to the traditional “form” (the original Latin uses the adverb continenter, signifying “continuously”) requests such a Mass, a pastor (parochus) may comply, keeping in mind (1) the spiritual welfare of the group, and (2) the guidance of the Bishop, in accordance with Canon 392 of the Code, (3) together with the need for sensitivity to retaining pastoral unity and avoiding discord. (Art. 5, 1)

  59. The first Irish bishop to react to Summorum Pontificum is the Archbishop of Dublin.It is a positive response.He has decided to make additional provision for devotees of the Extraordinary Rite.A chaplaincy is to be created with a resident priest who will provide a daily Mass as well as the normal Sunday Mass.All sacraments will be available in the old rite.This will involve a relocation to another city centre church which is Pugin designed and very beautiful.Total silence from all other Irish bishops.

  60. Patrick -

    Bishop David E. Foley of Birmingham, Alabama, seems to believe that only "certified" priests should be allowed to serve the extraordinary form of the Mass, in accordance with Summorum Pontificum.

    The following letter was taken verbatim from the _One Voice_ (August 10, 2007, p. 1), which is the diocesan newspaper for the diocese of Birmingham in Alabama:


    ANNOUNCEMENT

    I have received with great joy the Motu Proprio from His Holiness Benedict XVI on July 7, 2007.

    This document is important for two reasons:

    1. It authenticates that the normative celebration of the Eucharist is the Mass of Paul VI.

    2. And, because of his Holiness' pastoral concern, he has granted permission for the extraordinary celebration of the Roman Missal promulgated by Blessed John XXIII. This permission is granted for those faithful who have remained attached with such great love and affection to this ancient form.

    The particulars for making this option available to the faithful are extremely important and must be approached with great pastoral care.

    1. To celebrate the extra ordinary [sic] form, the Priests of our diocese must be properly trained and certified.

    2. Locations must be chosen which most effectively offer this form for the faithful.

    To this [sic] end, I am now beginning the processes of asking advice from the College of Priest Consultors and others who will help me in actualizing this important accommodation in the liturgical life of the Diocese. In unity with our Holy Father, I thank you for your patience as we implement his pastoral wishes.

  70. Allego la Notificazione che l'Arcivescovo di Pisa (Italia), Mons. Alessandro Plotti, ha inviato ai sui parroci per limitare l'applicazione del Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum. Leggere per credere:
    "Sull'uso del Messale romano di San Pio V
    La notificazione dell'arcivescovo di Pisa
    22 luglio 2007
    Ogni Vescovo è il moderatore della liturgia per la propria Diocesi. Il can. 838 del Codice di Diritto Canonico così recita: «Regolare la Sacra Liturgia dipende unicamente dall'Autorità della Chiesa: ciò compete propriamente alla Sede Apostolica e, a norma del Diritto, al Vescovo Diocesano».
    E al Paragrafo 4 : «Al Vescovo Diocesano nella Chiesa a lui affidata spetta, entro i limiti della sua competenza, dare norme in materia liturgica, alle quali tutti sono tenuti». Tali disposizioni trovano conferma al n. 22 del Documento del Concilio Vaticano II «Sacrosanctum Concilium», dove sono ribaditi gli stessi concetti. Il Messale di Paolo VI rimane la «forma normale» e «ordinaria» della liturgia eucaristica, mentre il Messale romano anteriore al Concilio può essere usato come forma «straordinaria».
    Il Papa nella sua Lettera ai Vescovi della Chiesa cattolica, che accompagna il «Motu proprio», spiega abbondantemente che non deve essere intaccata l'autorità del Concilio e messa in dubbio la riforma liturgica o che venga sconfessata l'opera di Paolo VI e di Giovanni Paolo II. Alla luce di queste due premesse, dispongo quanto segue:
    1- In nessuna Parrocchia della nostra Arcidiocesi si introduca l'uso del messale del 1962, solo per offrire in maniera indiscriminata la celebrazione in latino secondo il Rito preconciliare ai fedeli che non ne abbiamo fatto specifica richiesta.
    2 - Se nella Parrocchia (art. 5 par. 1 ) esiste «stabilmente» un gruppo di fedeli aderenti alla precedente tradizione liturgica, che chiede esplicitamente al Parroco la celebrazione della Santa Messa secondo il rito preconciliare, il Parroco stesso valuti, da una parte, se tale richiesta nasce da un sincero amore alla tradizione antica della chiesa, da una convinta accettazione del Concilio Vaticano II, e da una istanza seria e autentica di alimento spirituale; dall'altra, se il concedere tale celebrazione si armonizza con la cura pastorale ordinaria della parrocchia, evitando la discordia e le divisioni.
    Si deve trattare, sempre e comunque, di un gruppo stabile di parrocchiani, che manifestano il desiderio legittimo di vedere attuato il «Motu proprio» del Papa. Non è né opportuno né auspicabile che la Parrocchia «ospiti» gruppi non ben definiti che non partecipano alla vita e al cammino della comunità parrocchiale e che «usano» la parrocchia o il parroco solo per un nostalgico riflusso liturgico. L'art. 5 par. 1 del Documento Pontificio è molto chiaro: «nella parrocchia in cui esiste stabilmente un gruppo di fedeli...». Dunque un gruppo di fedeli che stabilmente vivono e operano nella parrocchia e non altri che sfruttano la parrocchia solo come punto di appoggio o perché c'è un presbitero più benevolo.
    3 - Per meglio esercitare questa facoltà concessa ai parroci di accogliere «volentieri» tale richiesta e per operare serenamente ed efficacemente un difficile discernimento dispongo che, prima di concedere o di negare tale privilegio, sia consultato il Consiglio pastorale parrocchiale e si faccia riferimento all'Arcivescovo, per arrivare ad una scelta pastorale armonica, che non crei divisioni e conflitti tra le diverse componenti del Popolo di Dio.
    Il «Motu proprio» di Benedetto XVI insiste nel sottolineare che la celebrazione della Santa Messa pre-conciliare deve armonizzarsi con la cura pastorale ordinaria della parrocchia.
    4 - Il ricorso all'Ordinario diocesano non è prescritto nel Documento, perché la concessione è affidata alla buona accoglienza del Parroco, però, per i risvolti che tale esperienza può avere sulla vita dell'intera Diocesi, è opportuno e raccomandabile che la decisione venga presa insieme al Vescovo.
    Tra l'altro, il Papa nella Lettera ai Vescovi, che accompagna il Decreto, dice: «queste nuove norme non diminuiscono in nessun modo la vostra autorità e responsabilità, né sulla liturgia né sulla pastorale dei vostri fedeli. Ogni Vescovo, infatti, è il moderatore della liturgia nella propria Diocesi. Nulla si toglie quindi all'autorità del Vescovo il cui ruolo, comunque, rimarrà quello di vigilare affinché tutto si svolga in pace e serenità. Se dovesse nascere qualche problema che il parroco non possa risolvere, l'Ordinario locale potrà intervenire, in piena armonia, però, con quanto stabilito dalle nuove norme del «Motu proprio». Accogliamo la decisione del Papa in spirito di obbedienza e di condivisione, cercando di ottemperare con fedeltà e serietà alle prescrizioni del «Motu proprio», tenendo presente che tutti noi, pastori e guide del nostro popolo, abbiamo la missione di offrire a tutti i fedeli le occasioni per crescere nella vita spirituale e nell'esperienza di una Chiesa che accompagna la crescita ecclesiale della intera comunità cristiana, che ha sempre nel Vescovo il suo punto di unità e di comunione.
    «Salus animarum summa lex».
    +Alessandro Plotti, arcivescovo

    I am pleased to inform you that beginning September 16th, 2007, Father C. Tim Meares will celebrate a weekly Traditional Latin Mass at St. Joseph Church in Burgaw, NC, near Wilmington, on Sundays at 4:30PM.

    Until now, Father Meares has assisted Father Paul Parkerson, chaplain for the Traditional Latin Mass at Sacred Heart Church in Dunn, NC.

    Thank you for spreading the good news. Please pray for Bishop Michael F. Burbidge of Raleigh, NC.

  75. St. Thomas More Church in San Francisco states on its website "Sunday, 5:30 p.m. Latin Tridentine Mass (coming soon)". This is an ideal parish to have a Latin Mass. They currently have Mass in Portuguese, Arabic & English. Soon all three of these communities will be able to unite in worship by attending the same Mass in the universal language of the Roman (Latin Rite) Catholic Church. Of course they could have been doing so with the Novus Ordo for the past four decades. Perhaps they have, but it isn't listed among the others.

    It would be nice if a publisher would produce an interlinear Latin/English missal. The MASS OF THE CATECHUMENS is the part of the Mass that an interlinear translation would be most helpful. I made a 10 page booklet of this part of the Mass using MS Word. I'd be happy to e-mail a copy with printing instructions to anyone interested (just e-mail me).

  82. I have the great joy of announcing to you that His Excellency, Archbishop Angel Lagdameo D.D., Archbishop of Jaro and currently President of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), celebrated a Missa Cantata according to the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite last September 11, 2007, 7:00 PM (Manila time) at the Carmelite Monastery Church in Lipa City, Province of Batangas (located south of Manila).

    Due to various contingencies, emergencies and events, the Archbishop was not assisted by any clergy, and had only two lay servers who had to substitute at the very last minute. The Mass itself has been agreed upon only last week, and the schedule was finalized only the day before the Mass itself was about to be celebrated. One has to keep in mind that, uhm, the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite in the Philippines continues to face "Extraordinary" obstacles indeed! However, there was no question of cancelling the Mass, once the Archbishop had given his consent last week to celebrate it. This would be our moment of triumph practically on the eve of Summorum Pontificum.

    The cantor (who was supposed to chant the Propers) was not able to come; however, some ten ladies formed an impromptu schola and very capably sang the Ordinary of the Mass. It was truly a "Mass at the frontlines!"

    The Archbishop was ordained a priest in December 1964, and had celebrated according to the 1962 Missal in his first five months as a priest. After that, he adopted the vernacular liturgy along with almost everyone else. However, he retained his knowledge and understanding of Latin and, as Archbishop of Jaro from 2000 to the present he has been one of the few Filipino bishops who have shown sympathy and understanding for the aspirations of the faithful who love the Traditional Roman Rite. As bishop, he has celebrated the TLM twice before: once each in the years 2000 and 2001.The current Mass is his first TLM as President of the CBCP.

    D. José Policarpo escreve aos padres sobre o Motu Proprio
    O sacerdote não deve pôr o acento no seu possível gosto pessoal pela Liturgia anterior à Reforma Litúrgica

    Carta a todos os Presbíteros que exercem o seu ministério no Patriarcado de Lisboa
    Caros Padres,

    1. Dirijo-me a vós num momento da vida da Igreja, em que se exige particular discernimento pastoral: a publicação por Sua Santidade o Papa Bento XVI da Carta Apostólica, dada sob a forma de “Motu Proprio”, “Summorum Pontificum Cura”. O “Motu Proprio” regula o uso, na Liturgia, do “Missale Romanum”, na sua última edição de 1962, promulgada pelo Papa João XXIII, como forma extraordinária de celebração da Liturgia católica segundo o Rito Romano.

    Ao apresentar este “Motu Proprio”, o Santo Padre escreveu uma Carta aos Bispos de todo o mundo, cujo texto é indispensável para a interpretação e aplicação pastoral do referido “Motu Proprio”.

    Ambos os textos serão publicados no “Vida Católica”.

    O Santo Padre reconhece que a notícia da publicação destas Normas provocou duas reacções: uma entusiasta aceitação e uma férrea oposição. Espero que, entre nós, nenhuma destas atitudes extremas prevaleça. Considero que as pessoas que desejam celebrar a Liturgia do Missal de 1962 são, entre nós, uma minoria, embora permeáveis ao que se passa noutras Igrejas. É mais plausível a reacção daqueles que sentem desgosto, pensando que se pôs em questão o Concílio Vaticano II e o seu “ex libris” que é a Reforma Litúrgica. De facto, muitos de nós vivemos com grande entusiasmo a Reforma Litúrgica e o espírito de “aggiornamento” proposto pelo Concílio, e isso modelou a nossa forma de ser cristão e imprimiu o rosto às comunidades cristãs, que aprenderam a viver a Liturgia, não apenas como manifestação da fé pessoal, mas como expressão viva de um Povo que se reconhece como comunidade quando celebra a Sagrada Liturgia.

    Em espírito de comunhão com o Santo Padre, escutando-o e obedecendo-lhe, queremos pôr pastoralmente em prática, com o discernimento que a sua aplicação a uma situação concreta exige, a sua orientação para toda a Igreja, percebendo as motivações que o moveram e os objectivos que pretende alcançar.

    Apesar de o “Motu Proprio” dar uma grande autonomia de decisão aos Párocos e, em certos casos, a todos os Sacerdotes, o Bispo não deixa de ser, como o Santo Padre reconhece, citando a “Sacrossanctum Concilium”, nº 22, o moderador da Liturgia na própria Diocese: “O governo da Liturgia depende unicamente da autoridade da Igreja: pertence à Sé Apostólica e, nas regras do direito, ao Bispo” (S.C., nº22). Na construção da unidade da Igreja diocesana, a aplicação deste “Motu Proprio”, no respeito pela autoridade do Santo Padre, expressamente manifestada, será definida pelo Bispo diocesano, com a colaboração do Departamento de Liturgia da Diocese.

    Os motivos e objectivos do Santo Padre

    2. Antes de mais, o bem dos fiéis, daqueles que desejam a celebração segundo o Missal de 1962, porque procuram aí a dimensão sagrada do mistério da Eucaristia, que também podem encontrar na celebração segundo o Missal de Paulo VI, que devem em qualquer hipótese aceitar, porque continua a ser, para toda a Igreja, a forma normal de celebrar a Liturgia. O Santo Padre afirma mesmo que, vencidos os exageros de uma criatividade litúrgica mal concebida, é ocasião de imprimir nesta forma normal de celebrar a Missa toda a sua dimensão sagrada. Diz Bento XVI na Carta aos Bispos: “Na celebração da Missa segundo o Missal de Paulo VI, poder-se-á manifestar, de maneira mais intensa do que frequentemente tem acontecido até agora, aquela sacralidade que atrai muitos para o uso antigo…” celebrando “com grande reverência, em conformidade com as rubricas; isto torna visível a riqueza espiritual e a profundidade teológica deste Missal”.

    - O “bem dos fiéis” é, pois, o único motivo que pode levar os Párocos a usar o Missal de 1962, pelo que um Pároco não pode impor à Paróquia o Missal de 1962 apenas motivado pela sua perspectiva pessoal.

    - O “bem dos fiéis” supõe discernimento: quantos são os fiéis, quais os motivos que os levam a pedir essa Liturgia; que formação cristã e litúrgica possuem. De facto o Santo Padre afirma: “O uso do Missal antigo pressupõe um certo grau de formação litúrgica e o conhecimento da língua latina; e quer uma quer outro não é muito frequente encontrá-los”.

    Que ninguém se precipite nem facilite, na certeza de que encontraremos de modo justo, uma resposta para os fiéis que o pedirem, obedecendo aos critérios enunciados pelo Santo Padre, que não contemplam motivos como o simples gosto pelo antigo, o ser diferente, ou a forma de reagir a imperfeições na forma actual de celebrar a Liturgia.

    3. Um outro objectivo do Santo Padre é salvaguardar a unidade da Igreja. “Trata-se de chegar a uma reconciliação interna no seio da Igreja”[1].

    Na história da Igreja, mais do que uma vez, as grandes reformas originaram divisões com grupos de cristãos que não as aceitaram. Foi o caso dos “velhos católicos”, a seguir ao Concílio Vaticano I, e o do cisma de Mons. Lefebvre, a seguir ao Concílio Vaticano II. Bento XVI confessa que a primeira abertura ao uso do Missal de 1962, feita por João Paulo II no “Motu Proprio” Ecclesia Dei, foi motivada pela crise lefebriana e dirigia-se à Fraternidade S. Pio X. O seu “Motu Proprio” dirige-se não apenas aos seguidores de Mons. Lefebvre, mas a outros cristãos, mesmo jovens que, pensa o Santo Padre, se sentem atraídos por essa Liturgia. O horizonte de análise do Santo Padre é a Igreja toda.

    Mas esta preocupação por salvaguardar a unidade da Igreja tem, nos dois documentos do Papa, outras concretizações a que devemos dar grande relevo pastoral: antes de mais, o Missal de Paulo VI é a forma normal, para toda a Igreja, de celebrar a Liturgia. Diz o Santo Padre que, “obviamente, para viver em plena comunhão, também os sacerdotes das Comunidades aderentes ao uso antigo não podem, em linha de princípio, excluir a celebração segundo os novos livros. De facto, não seria coerente com o reconhecimento do valor e da santidade do novo rito a exclusão total do mesmo”; por outro lado, quando o Pároco acha que deve acolher o desejo de um grupo de fiéis da sua Paróquia de celebrar pelo Missal de 1962, “tenha em conta que o bem destes fiéis seja harmonicamente coordenado com o bem pastoral de toda a Paróquia, sob orientação do Bispo nos termos do c. 392, evitando divisões e promovendo a unidade de toda a Igreja” (art.º 5 §1 do Motu Proprio). Isto quer dizer que tem de se avaliar o significado dessa abertura na harmonia de toda a comunidade.

    Papel dos Sacerdotes na aplicação destas Normas

    4. Porque é o sacerdote quem preside à Eucaristia e aos Sacramentos, o bom discernimento pastoral dos sacerdotes é muito importante para uma aplicação positiva e equilibrada destas Normas.

    Como já ficou dito, o sacerdote não deve pôr o acento no seu possível gosto pessoal pela Liturgia anterior à Reforma Litúrgica, mas no bem dos fiéis e de toda a comunidade a que preside. O seu gosto pessoal só poderá ter lugar na missa privada, “sine populo” (art.º 2º). Estas celebrações não podem ser aquelas que são anunciadas ao Povo de Deus, como programa normal da Paróquia. Essas “missas privadas” não devem ser anunciadas. A possibilidade de outros fiéis assistirem a elas, como está previsto no art.º 4º do “Motu Proprio”, não pode entender-se como divulgação pública das mesmas.

    Quanto às celebrações públicas para os fiéis que as pedirem, dada a não premência do fenómeno entre nós, que ninguém se precipite a conceder essas celebrações, sem um discernimento prévio, de preferência feito em presbitério e em diálogo com o Bispo.

    Estejam os Párocos particularmente atentos para se certificarem que os sacerdotes que se apresentam para celebrar segundo o rito antigo, mesmo na missa “sine populo”, são idóneos e não impedidos pelo Direito (cf. Art.º 5º §4).

    5. Os Párocos devem cuidar, particularmente, da qualidade e profundidade litúrgica dessas celebrações. O rito antigo, já muito distante da prática da Igreja, se não é celebrado com dignidade litúrgica, pode transformar-se em elemento desagregador do crescimento das comunidades. Neste aspecto tenham-se em conta, sobretudo os seguintes pontos:

    5.1. O uso da língua latina. É claro na Carta do Santo Padre aos Bispos que o seu uso supõe o conhecimento da língua latina. Infelizmente muitos sacerdotes da nossa Diocese já não sabem o latim. Esses sacerdotes devem considerar-se não idóneos para presidir à Missa segundo o Missal de 1962. Se as circunstâncias pastorais o aconselharem, devem procurar-se sacerdotes que o possam fazer dignamente.

    5.2. A música. Os textos do Missal de 1962 estão musicados em gregoriano. A possibilidade de os cantar, com o mínimo de qualidade, deve ser condição para permitir missas comunitárias nesse rito.

    5.3. O vernáculo. As leituras em português supõem traduções aprovadas pela Santa Sé (cf. Art.º 6º).

    5.4. Os espaços sagrados. Os nossos templos estão orientados para a celebração da Missa segundo o Missal de Paulo VI. Fica proibida qualquer tentativa de alterações dos espaços, sobretudo do altar e do presbitério, por causa da possibilidade de celebrar o ritual de 1962, que aliás já previa a celebração “versus populum”.

    Princípios basilares a ter em conta.

    6. Os textos litúrgicos emanados da Reforma Litúrgica constituem a Liturgia normal da Igreja para todos. O uso de textos de antes da Reforma Litúrgica, é excepcional, motivado pelo “bem dos fiéis”, a discernir e analisar ponderadamente.

    7. As celebrações, segundo esse rito, devem ser durante a semana. Nos Domingos e dias festivos, celebra-se a Liturgia normal. O Santo Padre abre a hipótese, no caso dum grupo significativo de fiéis o aconselhar, de uma das celebrações paroquiais nos Domingos e dias festivos seguir o Missal de 1962. Na nossa Diocese, peço aos Párocos que, por enquanto, não permitam essas celebrações dominicais, antes de uma análise profunda da situação. Se chegarmos à conclusão que o “bem dos fiéis” o exige, encontraremos, em conjunto, formas de lhes garantir, ao Domingo e dias festivos, celebrações de grande qualidade segundo a Liturgia antiga.

    8. Estejamos vigilantes para que esta abertura concedida pelo Santo Padre, tendo em conta o bem de toda a Igreja, não se transforme numa campanha em favor da Liturgia antiga. Isso seria contra a Reforma Litúrgica e todo o espírito do Concílio Vaticano II, e ignoraria o carácter extraordinário, claramente afirmado pelo Santo Padre, do uso do Missal de 1962.

    9. Procuremos todos celebrar a Liturgia com qualidade, unção e sentido do Sagrado. Estas qualidades que aparecem a justificar os que procuram a Liturgia antiga, são aliás valores da Reforma Litúrgica, pois toda ela é expressão, em assembleia orante, da fé da Igreja.

    Conclusão

    10. Assino esta carta com data de 14 de Setembro, no dia em que entra em vigor a Carta Apostólica do Santo Padre “Summorum Pontificum Cura”. Ela é a expressão da nossa comunhão obediente com o Santo Padre, mas também o assumir das nossas responsabilidades pastorais, como Pastor desta Igreja de Lisboa.

  85. This is regarding Anonymous' post of the Letter to Priests by the Cardinal Jose Policarpo of Lisboa (in Portuguese).

    Being a Spanish speaker, here is a loose translation of the main points (please feel free to make corrections):

    1. ....those who desire the Litrugy of the 1962 Missal are minority...

    4.Priests should not impose their personal preference for the former liturgy on to the faithful....such may only take place in "private masses" without the people. Private masses may not be announced.

    If the people request such masses....a period of discernment must first take place...including communication between the priest and bishop.....

    5.4 Sacred spaces: our churches are arranged for the celebration according to the Missal of Paul VI, which forsaw cebrating "versus populum" ...any attempts to modify such spaces to accomodate the celebration of the rite of 1962 are forbidden.

    7. Celebrations (of the old rite) must be during the week.....the Holy Father hypothesises that if a significant number of faithful request it, such be allowed on Sundays and holy days.....in our Docese, I ask of Pastors that, for the time being, no such masses take place....until the situation is carefully analysed.....

    8. Let us be vigilant, so that this opening by the Holy Father....is not transformed into a campaign for the old Liturgy.....

    10. I sign this letter on the 14 of September, the day Summorum Pontificum takes effect...as an expression of our communion and submission to the Holy Father, while at the same time, assuming (keeping) our pastoral responsibilities as Shepherd of the Church in Lisboa.

  87. MISA TRADICIONAL EN SEVILLA (ESPAÑA)


    Estimados amigos:

    Tal y como ya habíamos anunciado en nuestra página web, el pasado domingo 16 de abril tuvo lugar en la magnífica parroquia de San Bernardo, de la capital sevillana, una Misa en acción de gracias por la entrada en vigor del Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum del Santo Padre Benedicto XVI.

    Asistieron a la ceremonia, organizada por nuestra asociación, alrededor de setenta personas, muchas de las cuales no conocían el viejo rito romano y que quedaron gratamente impresionadas por la profundidad de la ceremonia, de la que pueden ver fotos en nuestra página web, que ha sido actualizada: http://www.unavocesevilla.info

    A partir de este domingo, la Santa Misa en latín según la forma extraordinaria del Rito Romano se celebrará todos los domingos a las diez de la mañana en la mencionada parroquia.

    Al tiempo que agradecemos públicamente a la parroquia su ayuda a la petición de esta asociación para la celebración de las misas, así como al Emmo. y Rvdmo. Sr. Cardenal Arzobispo de Sevilla, Fray Carlos Amigo Vallejo, del que esta asociación es fiel hija, por sus amables atenciones cada vez que la hemos requerido, invitamos animamos a todos los fieles y amigos de la asociación a continuar asistiendo a las Misas cada domingo; y también solicitamos su ayuda para asegurar que la Santa Misa se celebre con la mayor dignidad, afiliándose a la asociación, colaborando económicamente con ella, o trabajando con nosotros.

    La Misa del pasado domingo fue reseñada, a página completa, por el diario ABC de Sevilla. El artículo, titulado "Sevilla recupera en San Bernardo la celebración de la misa en latín", puede descargarse y leerse pinchando aquí.

  88. Statements from the conference of bishops of the Philippines:

    http://www.cbcponline.net/presidents/2007/July%209%202007%20A.html


    STATEMENT ON THE "TRIDENTINE" MASS

    We fully welcome with respect and appreciation the recent Apostolic Letter of Pope Benedict XVI on the "Tridentine" Mass. It clarifies for us the status of the Tridentine Mass in the Latin Language.

    In accordance with the Apostolic Letter ("Motu proprio") entitled "Summorum Pontificum" of Pope Benedict XVI, the celebration of the so-called Tridentine Mass, which is in the Latin language, as approved by Blessed Pope John XXIII in 1962 continues to be fully permissible as an extraordinary form of the Mass. The Tridentine Mass was never forbidden or abrogated.

    The so-called "New Mass" which was introduced after the Second Vatican Council and approved by Pope Paul VI in 1970 has become more popular among the people because it allowed the use of some approved adaptations, including the use of the popular languages and dialects. It became the ordinary form of the Mass, widely celebrated in the parish churches.

    When may the Tridentine (Latin) Mass be celebrated? According to the letter of Pope Benedict XVI, it may be celebrated by catholic priests of the Latin Rite: a) in private masses, b) in conventual or community mass in accordance with the specific statutes of the Congregation, c) in parishes upon request of the faithful and under the guidance of the bishop (in accordance with Canon 392). In such Masses, however, the readings may be given in the vernacular.

    This permission given by Pope Benedict XVI means that the Mass in Latin and in accordance with the formula of the Council of Trent, hence Tridentine, with the celebrant's back to the faithful may be celebrated, as it was never forbidden or abrogated. For new priests, this will require formation in the Latin Mass.

    Now, we are instructed that in the liturgy of the Mass, there is the ordinary form which is that approved by Pope Paul VI in 1970 after the Vatican II; and there is the extraordinary form - the Tridentine (Latin) Mass which is that approved by Blessed Pope John XXIII in 1962. The two forms will have their way of leading the faithful to the true worship of God in prayer and liturgy; and may even be a factor for unity in the Church.

  95. On www.tridentinsk.suite.dk you will find letters telling a (so far) sad story about the motu proprio in Denmark: 40 faithful have made a demand for every Sunday Mass (extr.) in a parish in central Copenhagen. One of the priests working in this parish already is saying the extr. Mass once a month (but in a remote school chapel), since 2003 in fact. The Rector has flatly refused, invoking that the "parish council has decided..." and claiming, incorrectly, that the said priest cannot celebrate the extr. Mass!
    Appeal to the bishop is being prepared. But some damage results from this scandaleous lack of attention to what the MP says (Art.5.1 in particular!).

    A petition for Mass in the extraordinary form on every Sunday and Holy Day of obligation was signed by 40 faithful in August 2008 and delivered to the parish of Sacred Heart in central Copenhagen on Sept. 1.

    On January 6 (Epiphany) the parish announced that the Mass will be celebrated in this form on every first and third Sunday, in the parish church, at 6PM. This good news comes after three months without the Mass - as the former monthly Indult Mass, held in a school chapel, was ceased in November.

  107. Here is the link to a take on the High Mass in Greensboro Jan 13,2008. Father Ferguson, FSSP did a magnificent job organizing and presiding over the most beautiful Mass I have ever attended.

  109. Someone should buy the rights to this and put high resolution copies online. People read news articles about how B16 turns his back to the people, but it's unfair because they aren't shown this:

    That site is often difficult to pull up, so here's a mirror of the photo:

  110. I'm not sure if they sell rights to these photos.. but I was in Rome for a semester, so I know that it wouldn't be that difficult to bring a flashdrive into L'Osservatore Romana while browsing the computers with the photos on them...

    I mean, I never saw any signs that said you can't do that... O:-)

    Sacred Liturgy. Please put on your web: Novus Ordo Solemn Mass Part 1
    And part 2. from You Tube posted by

  119. Sleet is part of a person's daily activity cycle. There are several different stages of sleep, and they too occur in cycles. If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle is as follows. When you fist drift off into slumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, you temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, wow goldworld of warcraft goldrunescape goldrunescape money
    and your breathing well slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too, with the alpha rhythm of rather fast waves 1 sleep.

    You do not remain at this deep fourth stage all night long, but instead about 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your brain activity level will increase again slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, Maple Story mesosilkroad online goldLineage 1 adenabuy Lineage 1 adenaGranado Espada goldto be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you. This period of rapid eye movement lasts for some 8 to 15 minutes and is called REM sleep. It is during REM sleep period, your body will soon relax again, your breathing will slip gently back from stage 1 to stage 4 sleep----only to rise once again to the surface of near consciousness some 80 minutes later
    Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, wow power levelbuy wow goldcheap rs goldrs goldEverQuest 2 platbuy eq2 goldLord of the Rings Online Goldhave blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.

  122. Here in Boston, Massachusetts one church, Holy Trinity, began, in February, to offer the traditional Latin Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of obligation. It is the only church here so to do. Recently Sean Cardinal O'Malley annnounced that the church will be closed effective June 30th.

    In fairness and honesty I must note that the church was already on a short list for closure.
