Perpetually 1962?
Jul 10
“According to [the April 2011 instruction from Ecclesia Dei], liturgical decrees issued since 1962 which are not compatible with the liturgical books then in use are not binding on Tridentine celebrations.” It’s perpetually 1962 for the Extraordinary Form, in other words.
To be sure, Wadsworth’s review of the book is nuanced, and he states his disagreement with some of the author’s opinions. But it is strikiing how much he seems to agree with.

Tim Drake at the National Catholic Register is swinging way too widely, and throwing a grab bag of things together that don’t belong together.
Clearly it was a parish where some thought had been put into the liturgy and how to make it more “traditional.” The question is, have they been thinking about the right things?
No, I’m not making this up. Nor am I filing this under “humor.” They’re serious!

Even the neotrad 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia admits the Latin Mass was a radical break with tradition! The REAL Traditional Roman Mass is the Greek Mass of the first three centuries. Between the years 400 and 500 a great transformation was made in the Roman Canon. In fact, Pope Gregory the “Great” was an ultraliberal legislator who helped solidify the final destruction of the TRUE traditional Roman Rite.
A number of notable ceremonial changes have marked papal liturgy since the inauguration of Pope Benedict XVI. Find out why from the Papal Master of Ceremonies.
