Hello all, I was checking out the post of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. I would have posted this question there but I didn’t want to derail the post. So I started this one what is the Black Rubric? Come to think of it, How many Rubrics are there and who uses them? is it a uniquely Orthodox, Catholic, and Anglican phenomenon?

It’s not a rubric at all, by definition. Rubrics are instructions to clergy, as to liturgical actions required. And are printed in red, hence the name. The black “rubric” was a statement stuck into the 1552 Prayerbook, when Edward’s regime was shifting the Church of England toward a reformed mode. On the face of it, informs the laity that by kneeling to receive they are not to be worshiping the Body. Elizabeth took it out of the 1559 Book, but it was re-inserted in the 1662 one. It is seen as a repudiation of the Real Presence, but is not necessarily so; Anglo-Catholics being adept and interpreting that sort of thing in a Catholic direction. Try googling it. It’s in Wiki. But it’s not in the 1928 Book.

The Black Rubric was an excessively protestant Martin Bucer/Calvinist attempt to push the Church of England in the wrong direction. It was mostly just anti-Catholic and the darkest low point for Cranmer other than drawing and quartering Catholic priests…
This is the time when Anglicans coined the “hocus pocus” mockery of the “hoc est corpus meum” statement during the liturgy of the Eucharist. For Anglo-Catholics I’d suppose this is a time they’d rather not think much of! For evangelicals it’s a high point…

It’s an example of Anglican intra-mural sports. In in 52, out in 59, in again in 1662, out again in 1789 and 2000.
