Pingback: LONDON: 11-19 September – Eucharistic Octave with different Catholic Rites | Fr. Z’s Blog – The Old Roman
This is what perplexed me about the motu proprio.
We have many different acceptable liturgies in the Roman Church, indeed, the Holy Father’s most recent addition was the Anglican Ordinariate liturgy. What is their relationship to the Church; is it these liturgies are acceptable in the context of a sacrificial offering, and we cast aside any doctrinal differences to welcome them into the fold, or something else, perhaps?
Whatever the reason is, why couldn’t the Latin Rite celebrated with the ’62 Missal, and other liturgical books of this era be treated in the same way?
Or was this the Holy Father’s intention with some of the faculties granted to the SSPX; normalise their practice of Catholicism to the point I can be assured receiving the Sacraments at an SSPX Church won’t put me in the Fastrak queue for eternal damnation, but leave them be as an extraordinary practice of the Catholic faith.
I’m surprised it’s not mentioned, but the Mass on Tuesday *should* be Pontifical, as Msgr. has the right to use Pontificalia due to his status as a former CoE Bishop.
