What is your opinion of the Anglican Use mass? Do you think it is an organic liturgical development?
 
I was episcopalian and anglican at one time.

I converted in 2008 and as yet I have not attended an anglican use mass. I hope to sometime if I am ever in a city where one is available.
 
Could you expand on why you consider the Ordinary Form of the Mass “groovy?”
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.
 
I am not sure but I thought they use to have one of the masses from our lady of atonement in san antonio online on their website.
You might check.
 
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.

I think they do use the Ordinariate liturgy. I was there just a few weeks ago and they used the NO offertory prayers.

Isn’t Our Lady of Atonement part of the ordinariate now? If so I would think they would use the Ordinariate liturgy.

They have always used the NO/OF prayers for the offertory and consecration as I recall.

The last I heard they do not use the Ordinariate liturgy as they are not in the Ordinariate. No one really knows why this is, I would really like to know the reason. I have my own suspicions.

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!
 
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.

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.

The communion rail is something I dearly miss too.
It was a reverent way to receive communion - on one’s knees.

Is it in san antonio that you attend on special occasions or another part of the country?

I am not sure how the ordinariate is doing here in America or how it is growing?
 
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.

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.
The only chance I get to read about them is here at CAF.

Very much so. Even arguably more so than the Ordinary Form of 1970 from the Use of 1962.

The Ordinariate Use Mass is an organic development from the Roman Rite, on both its Tridentine and Ordinary expressions, the Sarum Use, and the Anglican Book of Common Prayer.

It’s an extraordinarily beautiful liturgy.
 
I would love to go to an Anglican Ordinariate Mass, but I think the closest one is at least 4 hours from my house. Is the text of the Mass online anywhere? Thanks.
