I was posting on another thread about the difference between the Mass of vatican II & the Novus Ordo thar we see today. Your answers to the poll will help us understand whether the Mass we celebrate today is true to the council.

For instance, at my old Novus Ordo only parish…extraordinary
eucharistic Ministers are used at EVERY Mass.

I have not heard ANY Latin within this Mass ever, though the council recommended that Latin be **part of **the Mass.

In the past 50 years there has been NO Gregorian Chant, no Polyphony sung at the Mass I attended until a year ago.

We were not given the option of receiving Christ on the tongue ETC.,ETC., ETC.

I have not heard Eucharistic Prayer II used in many, MANY years.

Let us know about these things in your area.

I don’t understand that because the option of receiving on the tongue or in the hand is not the priest’s but the person receiving. You cannot be denied Communion on the tongue.
 
I was only able to pick the third and fourth option.

Eucharistic Prayer III was mandated by Vatican II? The one I go to at Holy Family exclusively uses EP I - the Roman Canon.

Also, they distribute Communion kneeling at the altar rails, exclusively on the tongue.
 
I wish that there were an option for the following:

Latin is used in some Masses, but not all.
and
Gregorian Chant is used in some Masses, but not all.

Generally, the Priest that presides on Saturday evenings will incorporate Latin about 75% of the time. I would say that chant is also used about 50% of the time with this priest. Sundays are a different story with little to no Latin and chant about 25% of the time.

I know that…but I am. If someone opens their mouth to receive that way (not kneeling, you understand…for that would distrupt the flow of the Communion line)…but just standing in front of the Priest with tongue extended to receive, the priest just looks beyond them & gestures for the next person to step forward.

This is the point of the poll. How many really attend the Novus Ordo as it was promulgated by the Council?

BTW. I left out an option to answer “none of the above”. Sp. just put that in your post if it applies.

THANKS

I haven’t gone to any of the vernacular Masses at Holy Family, only the Latin. I wonder if the English Masses would be the same as the Sung NO, except for language.

I may check it out, as my ability to attend the Mass I want to is generally affected by my work schedule (I work retail, so am at the mercy of Sunday shoppers).

Edit: BTW, I love the Latin N.O., but the TLM takes a bit of getting used to…
 
At our parish, every other Sunday has the Gloria, Credo, Sanctus and Agnus Dei chanted in Latin at the NO Masses.

The Kyrie is said in Greek each Sunday.

(And we do the ‘Alleluia’ in Hebrew 😉 )

Eucharistic Prayer I ( Roman Canon) is used more often than not.

Interesting, I have never seen a N.O. Mass in Latin around here. Just about all that is offered is the NO exclusively in the vernacular (sometimes with a few prayers in Latin) or the TLM at a few (3) parishes in the diocese. I would love to be a part of the NO in Latin though, I really love it when the priest incorporates a few prayers in Latin at my parish.

Eucharistic Prayer III is the norm although Eucharistic Prayer I is used for feast days. We chant the Kyrie, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei during Lent. The choir routinely uses plainsong chant as a choral prelude before Mass and sacred motets in Latin for the Offertory and Communion.

There is a NO in Latin in New Orleans but none here. The only ones I have ever seen were on EWTN.
 
source V2 doc for your claims in OP please, with doc and paragraph citation.

Oh my - this is BEYOND reprehensible behavior on behalf of that priest!!! :eek:

You need to let your Bishop know this. This is totally wrong and should not continue.

Remember that at the time of the Council, the Missale Romanum of 1962 was alive and well. The 3 “alternate” EPs made their debut in 1970 with the Novus Ordo (oh, horrors … I used that expression again :eek: )
 
I’ve heard EP1 just 3 times in my life, all in the last year. EP2 and EP3 are the most common at my parish-- I can’t figure out a pattern between the priests or daily/Sunday Mass.

EP4 is like a unicorn, **** Vitale fans and Guam-- some people swear it exists, but I’ve never seen any proof.

edit: why couldn’t I vote in the poll? In any way: people receive communion in both methods, they can also get “roadies” after Mass if they carry a pyx up to the side of the sanctuary. I guess it’s for hospital/shut-in visits, but it looks like a free-for-all to me.

further edit: hahahaha! CAF won’t let me say “**** Vitale”. If only it were that easy to get rid of him in real life…

My Bishop knows. He’s fairly new & is doing all he can to change things. However, he’s facing a lot of opposition, as the Bishop before him allowed all sorts of things like this.
 
we follow all except some Latin in Mass. I would like to have some Latin in our mass though

“Doing all he can”??? Dang - it is a good thing I can’t be a bishop. I would make it EXTREMELY clear what is right and what is wrong.

What part of obedience do these priests like this not understand? :mad:

Ugh.

  1. The choice the priest picks is between 1,2, and 3. With 1 being the most common and then 2.
  2. All our Masses have this choice.
  3. There is Latin at the Vigil Mass There is less Latin (very little) at 9am Mass; and none at the 11:30 Mass…which has folk music and such.
  4. There is Gregorian Chant only at the Vigil Mass.
The Vigil Mass is what I attend.
 
We have used no Latin & no Greek in recent years.

When you have our type of choir Gregorian Chant is only wishful thinking. Any chant is limited to a few Taizé pieces. No, we are a Massive Cremation parish and the children of the 60s & 70s that form the choir have done their best to resurrect some of the music from that era including Carey Landry’s Gloria for Masses with Youth (rather funny considering the average age of our congregation) which we now sing every Sunday (:banghead: :crying:

AFA our Eucharistic Prayer goes, we use EP III a lot, usually interspersed with EPII

That may be the rule. I had a priest two years ago grab my hand and shove the host into it. I can just say I was so shocked I almost dropped Our Lord. He did this also to my daughter and grandsons.
