I personally get very upset when I see liturgical abuses. I am looking for a way to justify my upset to priests and liturgists who disregard the rubrics laid out in the GIRM and elsewhere. I need to be able to go further than just pointing to the GIRM and saying: “there! you see, the Church says no!”
Where do the rubrics derive their importance from?
Has every single rubric have firm Scriptural/Traditional grounding?
And is it a sin for a priest to disobey the liturgical rubrics?
The types of abuses I refer to are not the essentials like the words of consecration. I am talking about issues such as: the employment of extraordinary ministers in less than extraordinary circumstances; those who can and cannot retrieve the Eucharist from the tabernacle; parishioners holding out their hands in the orans position during the Lord’s Prayer; and postures of the faithful during the different parts of the Mass (kneeling vs standing during the consecration.)
Some help would be greatly appreciated!
