Why does the priest process down aisle in NO?

[LilyM]

I don’t think that it’s specifically “Novus Ordo” for teh priest to process down the aisle. I am the senior server for my parish, a normal Catholic parish without NO. We have always processed in and out. I think it’s just to allow the full hymn to be sung, and the whole atmosphere to seem active and full. Just my ideas

Are you implying the NO is other than ‘normal’??

By any definition of that word the NO, and NO parishes, are entirely ‘normal’

Why are you getting so riled up for?

He wasnt implying anything derogatory about the NO.

If I went like that when people on this forum say things like this, or other ‘questionable’ things about the Traditional Mass, my post count would be a lot higher.

“Normal Catholic Parish without the NO”, Indult parish I’m guessing… non-sede, non-sspx. etc.

My apologies for getting steamed up.

There’s plenty of questionable attacks against both the NO and TLM on these forums. I guess it makes me a little jumpier than need be.

Very nice. I like the KofC.

Thanks! That’s me in the front as thurifer- all you can see is the back of my bald head . This was back in 2000 when my Latin Mass Mission church had our first Solemn High Mass for the Assumption at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception - Diocese of Camden. We go back every year for the Assumption Mass now.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the priest process not from the sacristy in my country, though I’ve seen it in a single church abroad, where it was a custom. In my church, they will sometimes start from the sacristy and circle the pews instead of going through the sacristy right to the altar, like on big celebrations, but there’s no starting anywhere else than the sacristy. And this church was built in the early 90-ies. The parish existed before with a provisory church and it surely doesn’t date back to pre-Vaticanum II times.
