The Anglican Mass started as an English translation of the old pre-Tridentine Catholic Mass.Yeah, when I went to the first Anglican Use parish down in San Antonio a few months ago, it seemed a lot like a TLM but in higher English, with a few OF features mixed in (e.g., “the body of Christ”) etc.
The sermon was preached by Monsignor Andrew Burnham, Assistant to the Ordinary and a member of the special working party set up by Rome which devised the new Use.
ordinariate.org.uk/newsIn his sermon, Mgr Burnham said: “…Have we, in the Ordinariate, dreamed up our very own ‘hermeneutic of rupture’? Certainly, we have broken away from the Church of England, in which most of us had spent most of our lives. We have broken away too from the trajectory of modern Anglican liturgical revision… But … we have most truly discovered in place of rupture ‘a hermeneutic of continuity’, that is we have found a way of joining together Cranmer’s linguistic brilliance, and feel for translation, with the ancient Canon of the Mass, prayed everywhere in England from the time of St Augustine until the Reformation, that is, a thousand years. And that Canon continues to be prayed throughout the Universal Church. There’s continuity for you.”
He may have been a brilliant linguist, but he was a heretic who destroyed the validity of Anglican orders through his changes.Some might disagree:

It seems those “OF” features (communion formula, English, etc.) were implemented in 1964.Yeah, when I went to the first Anglican Use parish down in San Antonio a few months ago, it seemed a lot like a TLM but in higher English, with a few OF features mixed in (e.g., “the body of Christ”) etc.
Oh Good,He may have been a brilliant linguist, but he was a heretic who destroyed the validity of Anglican orders through his changes.
God Bless
That’s why they came back to RomeHe may have been a brilliant linguist, but he was a heretic who destroyed the validity of Anglican orders through his changes.

Yup.The Anglican Mass started as an English translation of the old pre-Tridentine Catholic Mass.
Cranmer messed it up some, but it’s largely based on the TLM.
God Bless
You’re correct. That would be the Mass prior to the Council of Trent. But there were many rites in existence at that point, most of those which Pope Pius V abrogated in 1570, including the Anglican version. The Sarum Rite, I believe, survived.The Anglican Mass started as an English translation of the old pre-Tridentine Catholic Mass.

Maybe because it’s dead?That’s why they came back to Rome
But you have to admit (well you don’t have to) that the language is beautiful.
The only Anglican parishes that had the last Gospel and the preparatory prayers were Anglo Catholic parishes.They’ve always had the last gospel etc. It’s part of the Anglican rite.
Yeah but now they are home!!! woohoooThey’ve always had the last gospel etc. It’s part of the Anglican rite.
Oh yeah, the language is great.That’s why they came back to Rome
But you have to admit (well you don’t have to) that the language is beautiful.
The Anglican Use congregation of St. John the Evangelist here in Calgary now uses this revised liturgy as well; they are part of the U.S. Ordinariate.I wish we would please stop arguing about Cranmer’s heresy. Yes he was a major heretic but that is not the point of this thread.
The point of this thread is that the Anglican Ordinariates, not just in the UK but everywhere, now have a gorgeous liturgy.
vouchsafe, quicken, spake, etc.Oh yeah, the language is great.
