I have obtained my new copy of the Ordo for the Basilica of St. Peter for the use of canons and clergy.
FWIW… today is a ferial day in the Basilica. The clergy are free to choose their Mass.

“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Patriarchal? not pontifical or papal?
Fr. Z:
… et divini officii persolvendi …
Does that mean that the divine office is regularly celebrated there? In the Church’s language? Please tell me that it is so.
I’m guessing that a Basilica can be Patriachal (adjectival form and different usage)
even if the Pope is no longer Patriarch of the West.
But if not of the whole West, is the Pope still a patriarch?
In the Vatican old titles die hard. The Congregation of the Doctrine of the
Faith is still located in the Piazza of the Holy Office.
The pope and all popes after him is indeed the Patriarch of the West, regardless
of whether they embrace the title and responsibility.
Father Z,
Perhaps you might scan a few pages and show us the inside. Any pictures or diagrams?

1. I like your new pic, btw.
2. I like the tweaks you did with the site design.
3. Interesting differential on the tiara and keys design.
4. What’s a ferial day? Is it only because the clergy are able to choose their Mass?
Where did you get that? Is it availible in the Vatican bookshop, or do I have to steal one from a Protonotary Apostolic de numero?
Zadok: I don’t believe i’s for sale. You’ll have to steal one. Don’t even think of stealing mine! o{];¬)
PS: We should have lunch sometime.
Votive Mass of the Holy Spirit this evening.
FranzJosf,
The term “patriarchal basilica” refers not to the Pope, but the Latin Patriarch of Constantinople (a position abolished in the 1960s).
The ordo probably went to press before the change of title was announced.
Father Z: Are there any surpises that would please
traditionalists in the Ordo or is it the Pauline Mass
as presently celebrated? Regards, Tom.
I believe the first commenter was referring to a move, separate from the dropping of the title “Patriarch of the West”, to relabel all five patriarchal basilicas as “papal”.

TJM: There is nothing especially oriented toward traditionalists in that Ordo, … other than the fact it is is the Ordo of the Basilica of St. Peter.
Sorry for the double comment — the second URL is the correct one.
David,
True, but technically (or at least historically), the Basilica of St. Peter was the honorific church of the Patriach of Constantinople, at least before the 1054 Schism, and so afterwards was, I believe, entrusted to someone with an honorific title to the same effect.
So, it’s a interesting question whether St. Peter’s, which historically is the patriachal basilica of the Patriarch of Constantinople, will retain the use of the word “patriarchal” even as the other 3 begin using the term “papal.”…
