Re: Conditional Baptism

(a) it is not always required that a child confess before receiving First Communion and so (b) is it reasonable to require it at all? The cited example when confession is not required before First Communion is when Baptism occurs immediately beforehand. One cannot possibly use this to argue that as...

Re: What if we just said, 'wait'

the text worked a lot better in prayerful proclamation than I thought it would This is most encouraging to hear. One wonders how well the text would fare in a non-prayerful proclamation such as is sadly the case in many parishes. It is to be hoped that the nature of the text will highlight such non...

Re: Gospel reader

Having had a message about the ambiguity of par 47 of the DOMWC - The Directory however is referring to Masses at which children form the majority of the congregation. It does not apply to the parish Sunday celebration at which children, even a large number, are present. I believe the directory exp...

Re: What if we just said, 'wait'

If I am holding something which is already visible to you, but I am now specifically instructed to show it to you, presumably I am being asked to highlight it further in some way at this moment. ...Presumably the same can be applied to the new translation, unless ad oriens becomes obligatory!

Re: What if we just said, 'wait'

I do not see the point of the 'New Missal'. God remains powerful and mighty, and Christ has indeed risen. Why deny this? I cannot see any way in which the new missal is denying the resurrection or omnipotence of the Almighty. As God remains powerful and mighty, and Christ has indeed risen whether o...

Re: Unity with Liturgical Diversity

§3. When necessary, priests, with the permission of the Ordinary, may engage in a secular profession compatible with the exercise of priestly ministry (cf. CIC, can. 286). The specific reference to Canon 286 is somewhat telling - you are very welcome but, even though we have been asked to be genero...

Re: Unity with Liturgical Diversity

Without excluding celebrations according to the Roman Rite This clearly means that the Ordinariate also has the faculty to celebrate....according to the Roman Rite. It says nothing whatsoever about which form of the Roman Rite, nor does it imply which texts of that Rite are being referred to. Why s...

Re: Unity with Liturgical Diversity

SC, unfortunately, clearly dislikes the idea of converts who aren't prepared to become clones of right-thinking English (or Welsh) cradle Catholics. And is he not entitled to express that opinion, if in fact he holds it? He has: * Described them as "cuckoos in the nest". His exact words w...

Re: Choir guidelines

I do hear what you are saying, but does that mean that anything should be tolerated, no matter how distracting? Would the same latitude apply if we were discussing a reader, or a eucharistic minister? Often there is a much greater latitude applied to Readers and Extraordinary Ministers. As for Euch...

Re: Antiphons

Re. Communion and Entrance Antiphons, a very naive question, for which I hope there is a simple answer. I notice that in many places - and also at SSG and PMM summer schools - extra psalm verses are often added to the basic antiphon supplied in the Missal. Could someone enlighten me about how they ...

Re: Papal Visit, September 2010

I understand that the visit of John Paul was termed pastoral due to the diplomatic sensitivity of a full blown state visit whilst the country was at war.

Re: Papal Visit, September 2010

And in my original post I omitted Birmingham from the list of possible venues ─ seems pretty obvious that the beatification ceremony would be somewhere around there. While His Holiness still retains the option, Benedict XVI chooses not to preside at beatification ceremonies. See New Procedures in t...

Re: St Therese

There was exposition too, though you would've been forgiven for not realising this. Instinctively one would imagine that dual, and simultaneous, focuses to a liturgical act, namely the Blessed Sacrament and the Relics of St Therese, was a poor practice. Gwyn's observation would suggest that this wa...
