Reform
of the Reform
In this section, I will be publishing
some of my own reflections together with other Roman
Catholic and Anglican commentators.
History
of the Liturgy
Here are a few links on topics related
to liturgical history.
-
Missa
Tridentina (pdf) by Anthony Chadwick
- a History of the Reform of the Roman
Mass Liturgy in the Sixteenth Century,
written whilst the author was a seminarian
and undergraduate at Fribourg University,
Switzerland.
-
-
The
Tridentine Mass by Paul Cavendish
- a short essay that highlights the differences
between sixteenth century Roman usage,
and what the Baroque and Romantic periods
and the modern liturgical Movement
made of the Latin liturgy. This article
was originally published in Altar,
no. 1 (July 1994).
-
Victorian
Anglican Ritualism
This following link from the Canterbury
Project gives information on some of the leading
protagonists of Victorian Anglican ritualism
together with some texts from the period.
Musical Resources
for the liturgy in English and Latin
-
Musica
Sacra - The "Chant Books" section is amazing,
as is this whole site.
The Reforms of Pius
XII and John XXIII
The reforms to the Missal and Breviary
in the 1950's and early 60's were not universally
welcomed, as attested by a criticism dating from
1960.
-
The
"Restored" Holy Week by Msgr Léon
Gromier, Papal Master of Ceremonies during
the Pontificate of Pius XII - a conference
given in 1960
-
The
Post-Conciliar Reforms
The reforms by Paul VI and John
Paul II have caused a considerable amount of
contestation. I include here a paper on the
subject that expresses original thought.
Since the summer of 2007,
there are two officially recognised "uses"
of the Roman rite in the Roman Catholic
Church: the "extraordinary use"
(1570-1962) and the "ordinary use"
(1969).
-
The
Canonical Mass of the English Orthodox
by Dr. Raymond Winch (pdf file). This was
an attempt dating from 1988 at reconstructing
the Mass of Ordo Romanus Primus and
the Gregorian Sacramentary for use in a western
rite Orthodox context.
-
-
-
The
Latin Rite Mass - what was in use in the
Roman Catholic Church until Vatican II, and
still used by a number of traditionalist communities.
In 1969 Pope Paul VI replaced it by a newly
composed Novus
Ordo.
-
Roman
Rite (1570) - amost identical with the
Ordo Missae of the 1474 Princeps Edition,
broadly speaking a restoration of the Roman
liturgy of the 11th century, but with a number
of new elements derived from existing use
and scholastic theology. It was codified by
Pope St Pius V following the directives of
the Council of Trent.
-
-
Novus
Ordo (1969) - the work of Msgr Annabile
Bugnini and the Consilium, promulgated
by Paul VI in 1969. This artificial rite
is now the official usage of the Roman
Catholic Church ("Latin" Rite),
and its refusal motivated the existence
of a traditionalist movement. The Vatican
allows the usage of the 1962 edition of
John XXIII (simplified calendar and rubrics,
new 1955 Holy Week ceremonies of Bugnini
/ Pius XII)

-
Lyons
Rite - of the Archdiocese of Lyons
(France) and surrounding area. St
Jean Viannay, the Curé d'Ars,
celebrated according to this rite.
Note certain similarities with the
Dominican rite.
-
Dominican
Rite - the rite of the Order of
Preachers. It is used by the Fraternity
of St. Vincent Ferrer (Chemeré-le-Roi,
France), by the SSPX Dominicans at
Avrillé near Angers, France,
and by a few Dominican priests in
Rome and elsewhere. It is strikingly
similar to Sarum and other diocesan
uses, but is based on 13th century
Roman usage.
- The
Dominican Liturgy Blog - Fr. Augustine
Thompson OP
-
Ambrosian
Rite - the rite of the Archdiocese
of Milan until its reform on Novus
Ordo lines around 1970. It
had been used in much of the north
of Italy and Switzerland, and
a few parts of southern France.
It was found used in the English
parish of Telford in the 15th
century. We
are informed that there are some
textual errors in this page. Use

-
Mozarabic
Rite (Toledo, Spain) - the rite
of the Cathedral of Toledo, Spain,
used once a year in a special chapel
since being replaced by the Roman
Rite.
