Under Canon law, no one, even if he be a priest or bishop, has the power to add, change or delete anything from the prayers of the Mass. While there are certainly some extreme circumstances, such as with St. Maximilian Kolbe in the Nazi concentration camp, under which some of the vestments etc. could be dispensed, it doesn’t seem that anyone other than the pope has the authority to reduce the Mass to the bare minimum.Now that we all agree that the Mass/Liturgy/Qurbono/etc… cannot be reduced to only the Epiclesis and Institution Narrative, what are the constitutive parts of the Mass/Divine Liturgy/Qurobono/etc…? What are the parts with which we cannot dispense?
I could be wrong, but I think the Leonine prayers after Low Mass were against Modernism.Also Pope Leo XIII added the St. Michael prayer that he composed to the end of the Mass
Question: Who knows what their original intention was?
Caveat lector, indeed. Temporal power was lost in 1860, fairly early in the very long reign of Pius IX.It was for a solution to the loss of the temporal power of the Pope (according to Wikipedia.) Caveat Lector.
It was Pius IX who prescribed the first prayers in 1859 for the Papal States, and Leo XIII later extended them to the universally to the Latin churches and expanded them. The intention was, as was said, for the resolution of the question of the Church’s temporal possessions, and, after this was achieved, Pius XI prescribed them for Russia. Moreover, 1860 is not a cut off date, since, for example, Rome was taken in 1870I could be wrong, but I think the Leonine prayers after Low Mass were against Modernism.

No, I meant Pius XI - he did so through a consistorial Allocution in 1930 and subsequent legislation.after this was achieved, Pius XI prescribed them for Russia.
I believe it was Pius XII.
True about the date 1860, which is taken as the date of the unfication of Italy. The Papal States “last stand” if you will, was 1870 yet Pius IX added the prayers after Low Mass in 1859.

Considering that he had, through Cardinal Gaspari, concluded the Concordat in 1929, PP Pius XI had little choice but to either eliminate the Leonine prayers completely or else totally change their focus.No, I meant Pius XI - he did so through a consistorial Allocution in 1930 and subsequent legislation.
In the Syriac Churches, the Anaphora is considered a unit, and of course it includes the Qadish (Holy Holy Holy).The Catholic Encyclopedia says that the constitutive parts are the Offertory, the Consecration, and Communion. But the Heavenly Liturgy has the Holy, Holy, Holy as referenced in the Books of Isaiah and Revelation. So, if they do it in Heaven, it has to be a fundamental part of the Liturgy, right?
By the way, I found the article in the Catholic Encyclopedia after I had already posted the original post.
