The Freeing Up of the Roman Rite is Imminent

October 2, 2006 |

As it had been already anticipated months ago by the Archivum Liturgicum, in a few weeks the Holy Father will promulgate the document freeing up of the Roman Liturgy. Numerous informed sources had confirmed the date of publication of the decree as November. As far as we know, the content of the document would deal with the total freeing up of the Tridentine Rite, according to the Rubrics of 1962 - placing it side by side with the Novus Ordo; the new liturgy would be defined as the “ordinary rite” while the traditional rite would be known as the “extraordinary rite”, without any limitation on the celebration on the part of any Catholic priest. It seems that in the decree, already signed by the Holy Father at the beginning of September, there is the hope that the main churches will celebrate at least one Sunday Tridentine Mass. If what is being said in the Roman Curia comes to fruition,..this freeing up [of the Mass] will represent one of the more important actions of the pontificate of Benedict XVI,… including his Papal celebrations of the Mass…
