Because they’re using the pre-1955 Holy Week rites.
No communion for the laity on Good Friday in the Extraordinary Form?

Okay, thanks. I know you had mentioned that previously. Is the option to use these rites applicable to all who offer Mass in the EF, or only to certain entities and/or under certain circumstances?

Certain groups were recently given Vatican approval to use them.

They must be using the pre-1955 rites of Holy Week. The FSSP got permission to use them this year as well. Post-1955, all the faithful may communicate from hosts consecrated the previous day. Post-1955, only the celebrant does.
The pre-55 rites are starting to make something of a comeback; my confrères and I are considering seeking permission to use them next year.

I admit that I didn’t spend a great deal of time researching this, but it appears that the permission was granted to “a handful of traditional priestly societies” including the FSSP and the ICRSS. I can’t find a comprehensive list of those to whom permission was given, and each individual parish must also seek permission from its superior before employing the pre-1955 rites so even within the FSSP, ICRSS, et. al. as a whole there may be inconsistency of application.
At this time, permission is temporary (three years, of which 2018 is the first) and restricted to that “handful of traditional priestly societies.” There may be parishes who already use the pre-1955 rites without permission as well as entities not included in the original “handful” who will now seek permission because the precedent has been set. Time will tell.

Thank you! That was quite helpful.
It seems the news was kept on the hush a bit right up until Holy Week. It’s a shame I missed Palm Sunday! Pray that I live another year to catch it in 2019.

I missed Palm Sunday as well because I was scheduled to serve the Mass in my territorial parish (same time as the ICRSS’s Mass), and the Vigil because I was ill. Looking forward to Holy Week 2019!

Yes, I have heard that the Institute of Christ the King has used the Mass of the Presanctified in the past, and an indult from the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei was formally given for this year.
No, this is not a peculiar practice of the Institute of Christ the King. It would have been observed in every Roman Rite Parish until 1955.

No Communion on Good Friday? That’s going to be about as popular as Amish Pizza. :cowboy_hat_face:

I think what @Brandon_Cal wanted to know is if using the pre-1955 Holy Week liturgies today is exclusive to the ICRSS, not if it was the only entity ever to use them.
I dunno. There were a lot of people at the Office of the Pre-Sanctified on Good Friday. I guess the real test will be how many come next year, although the folks who affiliate themselves with the ICRSS in this Archdiocese tend not to attend liturgical services anywhere else so even that isn’t necessarily an indication.
If this practice were ever extended to diocesan parishes, however, yes, I agree many would be displeased. The first point of contention would not be the absence of Communion for the laity, though - it would be the fact of the liturgy being EF.

Its the traditional practice, I’m sure its popular with folks who like to abide by tradition- although maybe not with you.

No, the pre-1955 Holy Week was also used by the FSSP (Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter), Monastere Saint-Benoit (a small monastery in southern France), as well as the Institute of Christ the King.
There was an indult given by Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei for the pre-1955 Holy Week to be celebrated for the next few years.

Okay, now I have a question 
Was/Is the indult restricted to those three (FSSP, ICRSS, Monastère Saint-Benoît) or were others included? One of the links I provided earlier in the thread speaks of a “handful of traditional priestly societies” but did not mention a specific quantity or provide a complete list.
