Society for Catholic Liturgy Conference 2018

Fr. David Friel · July 15, 2018

OMANO Guardini will be the unifying theme among all of the papers delivered at this year’s Society for Catholic Liturgy (SCL) conference. Guardini was one of the most influential figures in the Liturgical Movement during its early-twentieth-century phase. This year (2018) marks the centenary of the publication of Guardini’s classic book, Vom Geist der Liturgie (The Spirit of the Liturgy).

The SCL conference will be held 27–29 September 2018 at the Cathedral of Saint Mary in Miami, FL. The event will feature a solemn Mass in the Ordinary Form on Friday, as well as a solemn pontifical Mass in the Extraordinary Form on Saturday.

Numerous papers will be presented during the days of this conference, but the three keynote address will include:

Gerhard Cardinal Müller, former Prefect of the CDF (“Lex orandi, lex credendi”)

Archbishop Thomas Wenski, Archbishop of Miami (Topic TBA)

Secretariat of the USCCB Committee on Divine Worship (Topic TBA)

More details about the conference—including registration information and titles of papers to be delivered—are available here. I am pleased to be presenting a conference paper entitled, “Romano Guardini and the Priesthood of the Baptized.”

OUNDED in 1995, the Society for Catholic Liturgy is a unique organization that brings together faithful Catholic scholars and artists from around the world to recover, discuss, and promote the rich liturgical tradition of the Church. The Society holds an annual three-day conference and publishes Antiphon: A Journal for Liturgical Renewal, which deals with important theoretical and practical questions in the fields of liturgy and sacramental theology.

Quick Thoughts

Surprising Popularity!

One of our most popular downloads has proven to be the organ accompaniment to “The Monastery Hymnal” (131 pages). This book was compiled, arranged, and edited by Achille P. Bragers, who studied at the Lemmensinstituut (Belgium) about thirty years before that school produced the NOH. Bragers might be considered an example of Belgium “Stile Antico” whereas Flor Peeters and Jules Van Nuffel represented Belgium “Prima Pratica.” You can download the hymnal by Bragers at this link.

15 February 2021 • To Capitalize…?

In the Introit for the 6th Sunday after Pentecost, there is a question regarding whether to capitalize the word “christi.” The Vulgata does not, because Psalm 27 is not specifically referring to Our Lord, but rather to God’s “anointed one.” However, Missals tend to capitalize it, such as the official 1962 Missal and also a book from 1777 called Missel de Paris. Something tells me Monsignor Knox would not capitalize it.

15 February 2021 • “Sung vs. Spoken”

We have spoken quite a bit about “sung vs. spoken” antiphons. We have also noted that the texts of the Graduale Romanum sometimes don’t match the Missal texts (in the Extraordinary Form) because the Mass Propers are older than Saint Jerome’s Vulgate, and sometimes came from the ITALA versions of Sacred Scripture. On occasion, the Missal itself doesn’t match the Vulgate—cf. the Introit “Esto Mihi.” The Vulgate has: “Esto mihi in Deum protectórem et in domum refúgii…” but the Missal and Graduale Romanum use “Esto mihi in Deum protectórem et in locum refúgii…” The 1970s “spoken propers” use the traditional version, as you can see.

“I left music college swearing never to write another note again … It was during the mid-1980s when esoteric and cerebral avant-garde music was still considered the right kind of music to be writing.”
