Latin Mass (ef) Question Thread (aka: Hey, Nihil Et Alia!)

What was different that made it stress important feasts more?

It is not the 'technical reason', but it sort of feels like they carried out the Holy Week renovations, which consisted of tinkering with most of the rubrics and ceremonials, and they just had so much fun that they wanted to do it with everything else too. :P

 

Part of it was a desire to simplify the classes of feasts, so they moved from the somewhat complicated older system to the current (perhaps not quite flexible enough) system of feria-memorial-feast-solemnity. As they changed the ranking system, they also began to move things around and also suppress some things and add others.

Also conical. Conical is super cool, but easy to screw up really badly.
 
Good:

 

 
 
Very appropriately named: How to properly or improperly wear a conical chasuble.

 

 

 

Now that is cool! I'd like one of them, some day.. (God willing) Ordination gift? :P

Thanks for the answers, and info on types of chasubles!

 

Another vestment-type (not particularly rite-related) question: Why do I see stoles worn over the chasuble sometimes and under it other times (most of the time)?

That one is simple. :) Wearing the stole over the chasuble is wrong. Some priests do it (and I believe it was somewhat more common in the last few decades) because presumably they think it looks better. But they are wrong, and they should not be doing it.

I would like one like Saint Ignatius of Loyola. You can see here how the gothic chasuble eventually became a fiddleback by cutting away more and more fabric around the arms.

 

 

And wearing a stole over the chasuble is just wrong. I have even seen chasubles with stoles fixed on them on the outside! White ones, on a chasuble of a different colour!!
