Lavabo Water vs. Water Mingled with the Wine?

[Solomonson]

At the parish where I grew up they used only one water cruet in the Mass in the 50s and 60’s.

And, where the rubrics specifically called for one cruet/flagon, it would be an abuse, illicit, to use 2.

HMMM just looked and couldn’t find a rubric on “one cruet”…so it may not be illicit in the EF

It certainly wouldn’t be an “abuse.” I seriously doubt it would be considered “illicit” if say a gold basin and ewer made for the lavabo was used at a Mass back in the day. More like going the extra mile to add a teeny-tiny bit of solemnity.

The funny thing is that the posture had not been changed. The posture of standing from after the Consecration to the end of Mass, except for sitting in the period of silence after Communion, was the same as it had been in article 21 of the universal 1970 GIRM. Nobody seemed to pay much attention to it back then though.

The US National Conference of Catholic Bishops had, at its meeting in November 1969, made one adaptation to article 21: it decreed kneeling from after the Sanctus to after the Amen of the Eucharistic Prayer for everyone. In later years it allowed bishops to decide for their diocese whether to kneel for the entire prayer or only for the Consecration.

May I assume you are familiar with the dubium?

Yes. I’ve read it.
