Synod prop. 36

[arieh0310]

Is this just for “international gatherings” or does this allow any priest to do parts of the NO mass in Latin?

Proposal 36

The Use of Latin in Liturgical Celebrations

To express better the unity and universality of the Church in the celebration of the Eucharist during international meetings, ever more frequent today, it is proposed:

– to suggest that the concelebration of the Mass be in Latin (except Readings, the homily and the Prayer of the Faithful). So also should be the prayers of the tradition of the Church, and musical compositions of Gregorian chant should eventually be sung;

– to recommend that priests be prepared in the seminary to understand and celebrate the Mass in Latin, as well as to use Latin prayers and know how to value Gregorian chant;

– to not neglect the possibility that the faithful themselves be educated in this respect.

Also, if the NO was done reverently, with Latin, and ad orientum would this quell some of the traditionalist issues or is the NO mass fundamentally different from the TLM?

The NO has always had a provision for at least some parts and prayers especilly the Canon in Latin. The Instruction also noted the high place pf honor for Gregorian chant in the current liturgy.

the proposal seems to speak mostly about how the liturgy is celebrated in international gatherings. However the portion about the faithful seems to speak about education and the formation of priests in being able to celebrate this way for the faithful so it would imply that it would be a step toward the more avid use of latin in the parish. As a side note, the NO can always be celebrated in latin by any priest at his discression unless he has been specifically been asked not to by his local Bishop.

To the second point - no. The issues surrounding the Tridentine v. Novus Ordo are not fundamentally about the language used but are more focused around the verbage used and some other issues concerning forms found in the Tridentine Liturgy and are not found in the Novus Ordo.
