Things like the Communion fast are based in canon law. All Catholics are bound to the current canon law, which is one hour before reception of Communion.
I thought vigil Masses were permitted by 1962?That would be something. Anyone who attends the Traditional Latin Mass has to live up to 1962 expectations. Maybe we should instituted this and see how it goes.
No more 11:30 AM high Mass for Dad. From now on its rise-and-shine for the 9:00 AM low Mass and straight to IHOP afterwards.

As others here have stated, we are not bound by the old law. I attended the EF for seven years, and it was made clear that we only need fast for an hour before Mass, but it was also recommended that for those who were able and willing to do so, that a longer fast could be made, but not at all required. I’ve only ever fasted for an hour. I’m glad the norms were changed!
The restoration of the 3-hr fast has been proposed by more than EF attendees.That would be something. Anyone who attends the Traditional Latin Mass has to live up to 1962 expectations. Maybe we should instituted this and see how it goes.

I believe that was in 1970, but AFAIK there are Sat vespere Masses performed in the EF. Actually I know of only one.
That actually started in 1953 (Pope Pius XII in Christus Dominus) but there were limitations. The most significant was that the local bishop had to approve them for his own diocese. The result was that from 1953 to 1983 (new code of canon law), every diocese had a different implementation date. Some never did so, until the new code eliminated the need for the bishop’s permission.
I know of one Saturday evening EF mass in Delaware, near my parent’s home. The Mass is at 7PM each Saturday.
Interesting. The one I know is in Indiana.I know of one Saturday evening EF mass in Delaware, near my parent’s home. The Mass is at 7PM each Saturday.
I try to attend it when I’m visting my parents, especially since the priest was a friend of mine before he was a priest.
Wow.
It’s merely saying that because Summorum Pontificum is itself a form of “special law” it has the force-of-law and when the rubrics (key word) of the post-62 books are incompatible, the rubrics as they existed in 1962 have the force-of-law in the extraordinary form. It’s merely addressing the rubrics.
I’m saying that people are going to claim that anything they don’t like is “incompatible” with the rubrics of the 1962 liturgical books and that it has therefor been derogated.
Well that’s just people, and they would be wrong, cuz it’s simply a matter of looking at the rubrics and provisions that were in effect, and doing them. If they complain that they don’t like the congregation singing the ordinary, or the readings being done in the vernacular, or “dialogue” Low Mass, or the 1955 Holy Week, etc. the Kiss of Peace being extended to the Choir(and theoretically to the Congregation) well then they need better education in the Tridentine Mass.
Most of the people I know who attend the EF already follow the 3 hour Communion fast, and AFAIK, everyone at our parish still observes the Friday abstinence throughout the year. I don’t think you’d see much, if any, change if this was implemented.That would be something. Anyone who attends the Traditional Latin Mass has to live up to 1962 expectations. Maybe we should instituted this and see how it goes.

I think it’s also important to note that IGMR/GRIM doesn’t apply in the EF, but it doesn’t mean the altar can’t be a free-standing one, for example.
