You'd think seminarians would have to as well.Colmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552955850927423137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35405500.post-1166581083620091502006-12-19T18:18:00.000-08:002006-12-19T18:18:00.000-08:00The indult that will be released will not be for t...The indult that will be released will not be for the ability to say a Latin Mass...that is already permitted...but for the use of the Tridentine Mass for those who wish. Word has it that it will happen in January.<BR/><BR/>I concur that there ought to be more Latin. The common prayers really ought to be in Latin, while those which vary from week to week should be in english. Stuff like the Gloria, Pater Noster, Eucharistic Prayers (that's a toss up though...because it can change since there's about 12), Sanctus, closing blessing, and others that are commonly used should be in Latin. <BR/><BR/>This was the opinion of the Bishop who is incharge of English in the Liturgy for all conferences who have English Missals. He also thinks that the new translation is much more reverential in its language and brings back the beauty that has come from choppy translations. The Roman Missal is in its 3rd Edition since the changes, yet we are still using the translation from the 1st Edition, which is NOT good.<BR/><BR/>And the local Pastor is mulling over the use of Latin more in the Mass. A few of us have been talking to him about more of it's use and he takes a few months to mull things over, so fear not, I have a feeling we'll hear more.<BR/><BR/>You'll be happy to know that the Aspotolic Exhortation that is coming out in January will be addressing the issue of Latin in the Mass and, apparently, will be encouraging the training of Seminarians in Latin again (not necessary at the moment) as well as the study of Gregorian Chant and Sacred Polyphony. This is, I am sure, B16's first attempts at bringing about a proper practice of the Liturgy. <BR/><BR/>Also, re: communion rails, we may have some at the Tabernacle and Scola...in front of the Altar is another thing our beloved Pastor is mulling over.<BR/><BR/>You should ask him to use some more Latin at your wedding Mass if you want...I think he'd be open to it :).<BR/><BR/>-HarrisonHarrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845905351822140629noreply@blogger.com
