Why didn’t the Church keep the order of the Mass in the traditional way but just in English?
They did, in the 60’s. DIdn’t last too long. But as YTC says, much of the Mass remained. A lot of the silent parts were cut out.Why didn’t the Church keep the order of the Mass in the traditional way but just in English?
I think when he said “order” of mass, he was referring to the entirety of the mass as in “Novus Ordo” and “Vetus Ordo” rather than the rough sequence of the prayers.
Actually the order is pretty much the same–there is very little reordering–but some of the individual *parts *are different.
For example, the Offertory remains, however, the prayers are different.
One of the only major examples of actual reordering is the blessing-dismissal order.
Even so, the differences are not a different as people might have otherwise believed (especially if Eucharistic Prayer 1 is during mass!)I think when he said “order” of mass, he was referring to the entirety of the mass as in “Novus Ordo” and “Vetus Ordo” rather than the rough sequence of the prayers.![]()
Most people wouldn’t probably know or tell the difference between a Latin OF and an EF.Even so, the differences are not a different as people might have otherwise believed (especially if Eucharistic Prayer 1 is during mass!)
Right, assuming the music is Gregorian chant and music is, in fact, used, ie so that the priest doesn’t have the option of praying the Offertory prayers aloud in the OF. In such a case, it would be virtually the same parts, just different rubrical actions, and even then, only a few would notice.Most people wouldn’t probably know or tell the difference between a Latin OF and an EF.
