Altar Candles?

I care nothing about the 1962 missal.

We probably should NOT discuss bee’s wax ratios either

Well you should know that if you don’t have 51% beeswax, the Mass is invalid, and the priest, sacristan and anyone responsible will go to hell. Just want to clear that one up.

You should. It’s a current legitimate liturgical book in the roman rite. How would you react if I said:

“I care nothing about the 2003 Missal”

In addition to that, don’t forget about this:

Attention must therefore be paid to what is determined by this General Instruction [of the Roman Missal] and by the traditional practice of the roman rite [ie, the rubrics contained in the 1962 Missal and those before it] and to what serves the common spiritual good of the people of god, rather than private inclination or arbitrary choice.

This is a very wrong attitude. One does not have to prefer or even attend the Extraordinary Form of the Mass but to “care nothing” is contrary to the mind of the Holy Father, who requests that the EF Missal “must be given due honour for its venerable and ancient usage” (SP Art. 1). I can’t see how to “care nothing” is to follow this exhortation.

Further, the Holy Father has always desired a hermeneutic of continuity, not rupture. One way of applying this hermeneutic is to look to the past if current legislation is unclear. This candle issue is a perfect example. The General Instruction of the current Form is not strict on this matter, but if one looks to the traditional practice, one can very easily put six candles during a Sunday or Solemnity, two during a weekday Mass and four during a Feast.

I think every Catholic should care for the ancient Missal as much as they should care for the modern Use of the Roman Site.

Is this the “Traditional Catholic” forum?

What kind of backhanded comment was that? He even backed up his points with documents.

Do you need to be in the traditional catholic forum to discuss church documents, or do you think the “LITURGY AND SACRAMENTS” board might be a reasonable place to discuss RECENT LITURGICAL DOCUMENTS? Did that ever occur to you?

I’m really getting sick of this horrible, stuck-up attitude you’re flaunting here.

“I care nothing about the 1962 missal.”
“Is this the “Traditional Catholic” forum?”

Tell that to the Holy Father. Like the previous posted mentioned, your attitude and views are in direct contradiction with the teachings of the church, and of the holy farther. You really need to think and pray about this before you keep spewing this trash.

This and the other statement is rather inflammatory here on CAF and downright nuclear else where. Prudence is called for here.
