jeffpugh Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Benedictines have been there for the Church in the early days. I'm pretty sure it's safe to hope in them in the now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veridicus Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I'm glad this thread was started. It has been a boon for me to read all of these opinions. I've been reading Alcuin Reid's "The Organic Development of the Liturgy" and am forming my own opinions more concretely on this topic. I voted "worried" on Mortify's other thread about the current state of the Roman Church. I agree with many of the things that the people on this thread have said. While the NO Mass is valid and in some ways more accessible to modern man, I cannot deny that some of the changes implemented are impovrished of doctrinal emphasis and seem bereft of solid connections with the missal that proceded it. It is unfortunate that it seems that the individuals who implemented Sacrosanctum Concilium considered many of the liturgical developments between 400AD and 1600AD to be decadent and unnecessarily rubrical and thus in need of deletion. My own experience with Catholics who have a completely heterodox understanding of the True Presence is proof in many ways of the failure of the NO Liturgy (and modern Catechetics) to instill belief in the transubstantiation; there is ABSOLUTELY NO confusion about the sacredness of the Blessed Sacrament in the EF Liturgy. Despite my own frustrations, I am quite hopeful for the future of the Latin Rite liturgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
