Why Liturgical Bad Habits Must Be Broken

The Church is not built up and strengthened when her pastors ignore her conciliar teaching, repudiate her tradition, violate her rubrics and instructions, and merrily accept the status quo in all its mediocrity.

Participating Actively despite all of that Active Participation

Isn’t this what is meant by the “active participation” that is one of the liturgical goals of the Second Vatican Council?

The Latin Mass Has Come Such A Long Way!

“The greatest problem of the new missal, at least in English-speaking countries, lay in the miserable translation that was imposed upon priests and people. Many prayers were so mistranslated that a student of first-year Latin would have done better.” — Msgr. Richard Schuler, 1984

“Chronicles of Narnia” by Msgr. Richard Schuler

“The hootenanny Mass can give explicit eucharistic and christological specification to youth’s intense involvement in the movements for racial justice, for control of nuclear weapons, for the recognition of personal dignity.” — “Worship Magazine” (January 1966)

Say the Black. Do the Red—with Love.

The road to the ideal must travel through the hearts and minds of real flesh and blood. If in our ministry we are not teaching love, then we have failed.

Reflections From The Editor Of The Campion Missal & Hymnal

For the sake of argument, let us pretend the sentence were true. How many times should one read such commentary? Each time one attends Mass? Surely not. Twice, perhaps? Thrice? Would it not be better to leave such commentary to a separate devotional book?

Can Theology and Liturgy Be Divorced?

Truly it would not be presumptuous to say that, in a liturgy completely centered on God, we can see, in its rituals and chant, an image of eternity.

Thoughtful Article On Hymns By Fr. Mark Woodruff

“Professor László Dobzay, writing from a classic Latin Catholic perspective, has made constructive proposals for a re-integration and mutual perfection of the Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms of the Roman Rite.” — Fr. Woodruff

Simple English Propers (Divine Mercy Sunday)

What would the Simple English Propers sound like harmonized as if they were Chabanel Psalms? That is, according to the principles of the Nova Organi Harmonia?

Random Quote

Participation at Mass must be “above all internal” (§15), and: “The faithful must be taught to unite themselves interiorly to what the ministers or choir sing, so that by listening to them they may raise their minds to God.”

— Musicam Sacram (5 March 1967)
