What is your opinion of the Anglican Use mass? Do you think it is an organic liturgical development?
Do you go to the anglican use regularly or every now and then.It is beautiful. Very reverent.
Could you expand on why you consider the Ordinary Form of the Mass “groovy?”More organic than the post Vatican II grooviness!
Well, in and of itself it may not be, though the way many of them are celebrated gives one pause. I am still adjusting to it. Tarpeian Rock didn’t specifically say there was anything wrong with the OF properly celebrated anyway. But I want to keep this on topic and talk about the Anglican Use and what members of this subforum think of the liturgical principles underlying it.Could you expand on why you consider the Ordinary Form of the Mass “groovy?”
I think they do use the Ordinariate liturgy. I was there just a few weeks ago and they used the NO offertory prayers.The San Antonio parish does not use the Ordinariate liturgy, I believe the Bishop wanted them to continue using the BDW.
As I recall there have been many non reverent Holy Communion services in many Episcopal parishes.
The OF Mass I attend is very reverent and I also attend an Anglican Use Mass, which is closer to the EF Mass. Both are equal, just different in several respects.

Isn’t Our Lady of Atonement part of the ordinariate now? If so I would think they would use the Ordinariate liturgy.I think they do use the Ordinariate liturgy. I was there just a few weeks ago and they used the NO offertory prayers.
They have always used the NO/OF prayers for the offertory and consecration as I recall.I think they do use the Ordinariate liturgy. I was there just a few weeks ago and they used the NO offertory prayers.
Really? Huh. I remember going there last year (before the Ordinariate liturgy was approved) and can’t recall the NO offertory prayers being used, but I can’t recall that they weren’t, either. I wish my memory weren’t such swiss cheese!They have always used the NO/OF prayers for the offertory and consecration as I recall.
Oh my goodness! I wish you a speedy recovery. I broke my ankle in 3 places in 2011 so I understand the time needed to heal.To 7 Sorrows,
In answer to your question, I go to the Anglican use Mass on special occasions. It is my brother’s parish. He had a requiem Mass celebrated for my parents and all deceased members of our extended family.
The Mass was quite beautiful. The priest faced towards the Tabernacle. The cantor was excellent, singing quite reverently. The women wore veils but it was optional. My brother probably especially enjoys it because he is old enough to remember the TLM.
I believe this is somewhat similar.
I enjoyed kneeling for Holy Communion because I miss the reverence. It was hard to get up afterwards because it was a newly remodeled church with no altar rails whatsoever. (And I am no spring chicken.
I plan to go back soon. I am housebound for 4-5 months with a broken hip. God bless you.
Well if it would help to bring more episcioalians and anglicans to the Catholic church I would like to see the Ordinariates succeed and continue to expand.Hi 7 Sorrows,
Thank you very much for your kind wishes. In answer to your question,
the Mass I attended was Anglican use at St. Patrick’s in Stoneham MA,
a suburb ten miles north of Boston.
Our beloved Cardinal Sean O’Malley very recently gave that parish permission to use the space at St. Patrick’s, a Latin rite Novus Ordo parish.
I am sorry, I am not familiar with the growth of the ordinariate.
God bless you.
Very much so. Even arguably more so than the Ordinary Form of 1970 from the Use of 1962.What is your opinion of the Anglican Use mass? Do you think it is an organic liturgical development?
