The seventh and last in a series by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf about the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.
In this series we drilled into what’s up with Bishop Robert C. Morlino celebrating Holy Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, especially when he celebrates “at the Throne.”
We have looked into what his “throne” is, the symbolic meaning of vestments, gestures, levels of solemnity, Latin. Let’s wrap this up, since by now you pretty much know “what that’s all about.”
The first in a series by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf about the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.
“Bishop Morlino did what? What’s that all about?”

It is possible that some of you, seeing “Throne,” and “Pontifical,” and “Extraordinary,” might say “What’s that all about?” as you turn the page.
In a short series over the next few issues of the Catholic Herald, let’s drill into “what that’s all about.”

MADISON — The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of the Lord, or Corpus Christi, celebrates the Eucharist in more focused way than Holy Thursday. It is traditionally celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, although in many places it is transferred to Sunday.
In 1246, Robert of Thourotte, Bishop of Liège in Belgium, had instituted a feast for the Eucharist at the request of an Augustinian nun and mystic, St. Juliana of Cornillon. Corpus Christi was established for the whole Church by Pope Urban IV in 1264. Its Mass and Office were composed by St. Thomas Aquinas (+1274).
