Encountering God through Mass in Extraordinary Form
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.”
Why are objects kissed during Mass?
The fifth in a series by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf about the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.
In this short series we are looking into what Bishop Robert C. Morlino is up to when you see reports that he has celebrated a “Pontifical Mass at the Throne in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite” (PMATTITEFOTRR).
So far, we’ve made distinctions about what the Roman Rite and the Extraordinary Form are, we’ve seen the different levels of solemnity with which Holy Mass can be offered in the older, traditional form, and we’ve touched one of the most obvious differences between how a bishop says Mass in the traditional Form and the Ordinary Form, that is, the additional vestments he uses and the different ministers he has to help him.
Objects kissed
Here is another thing which might make you scratch your head when you attend your first PMATTITEFOTRR.
In the older, traditional Form, when objects are handed to and taken from the priest celebrant or the bishop, they are kissed, along with Father’s hand. What’s up with that?
It’s a good question, given the fact that it is so out of keeping with the style of 99 precent of Masses you have seen in the last 50 years.
