Interest is growing amongst many Catholics who 2 years ago would never have thought of attending Mass in Latin.Says what we all feared, there is massive resistance against the motu proprio. We’d be lucky to get it before the end of the year.
I guess all I can say is that I’m glad this is all getting laid out in the open by the secular and religious presses. Interest I hear is growing amongst a lot of non-Catholics and that can’t be bad.
Actually, what HE Bishop Fellay said was that Paul VI did not read the text of the promulgation of the NOM, which contained heresy. Could someone shed more light on this, what were the heresies in this text?
Perhaps he was referring to this canon from Trent session 7.
The storyline is that Bugnini did not intend to create a new Rite, only to make changes so drastic that it would create a version that would be unrecognisable to the trads, yet there would be no going back. Paul VI, in response, said, no, this would be a New (Order) Mass, probably forgetting that any new rites would be a violation of Trent. In effect, though, what he did saved the Old Rite. Maybe that’s what he wanted to do.
There was a omission in the first promulgated version of the Mass which mentioned “God and the Son and the Holy Spirit”.
