The Limits of Papal Power: Contrasting Traditional Catholic Teaching with the Recognize-and-Resist Distortion - https://t.co/G2X8Ea7HoN Enough of the semi-traditionalist sophistry!
Just a reminder about the theological and liturgical destruction the Novus Ordo Missae (NOM) also known as the New Mass, brought upon the Catholic Church.
In his highly recommended book Work of Human Hands, Father (+)Anthony Cekada argued that the Novus Ordo Mass, even in Latin, is built on “assembly theology” rather than the Mass as a propitiatory sacrifice, and thus it embodies Lutheran principles. Therefore the NOM, even in Latin, should be rejected and avoided altogether.
Based on Father Cekada’s book:
1. The 1969 General Instruction presents the Mass as an assembly celebrating the Lord’s Supper, with the priest as presider. This comes from Louis Bouyer and the Lutheran Yngve Brilioth.
2. The traditional Offertory, which offered the Victim for the living and dead, was replaced by a “Preparation of the Gifts.” Father Cekada links this to Luther’s rejection of sacrificial language.
3. Only about 17 percent of the traditional orations survive unchanged. Prayers on hell, propitiation, the saints, heresy, and the uniqueness of the Church were weakened or dropped.
4. “Other real presences” in the assembly, the Word, and the presider relativize transubstantiation.
5. The priest’s unique sacrificial role is reduced; the people appear as co-offerers in a Protestant sense.
6. Multiple Eucharistic Prayers replace the Roman Canon; the words of institution sit in a narrative, memorial-supper context.
7. These changes are already in the Latin typical edition. Latin does not restore the theology that was removed.
Conclusion:
The Traditional Latin Mass and the NOM cannot possibly coexist together because they represent two opposing theologies. The TLM is Catholic and the NOM is just a re-edition of the Lutheran supper.
Leo XIV is just continuing the liturgical devastation brought upon the Catholic Church by all Vatican II “popes”.
Happy Feast of St. Dominic, Promulgator of the Holy Rosary, and Splendor of the priesthood. If you look closely, you can see St. Dominic receive the Rosary from Our Lady with a dog at his feet, a torch in its mouth.
