SARUM RITE. The regulation of the details of the Roman liturgy as they were carried out in pre-Reformation England, Scotland, and Ireland. This rite was sponsored by St. Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury (d. 1099), who incorporated into the Latin Rite certain Norman liturgical traditions. Closely resembling the present-day Dominican Rite, it was superseded by the revised Roman ritual of Pope St. Pius V.

Also called the Use of Sarum. Father neglects to mention the derivation of 'Sarum'. It is from 'Salisbury', St Oswald's See City, a Latinization of Sar, a medieval abbreviation for Middle English Sarisberie.
The two names for the city, Salisbury and Sarum, are humorously alluded to in a 1928 limerick from Punch:
There was an old Sultan of Salisbury
Who wanted some wives for his halisbury,
So he had them sent down
By a fast train from town,
For he thought that his motor would scalisbury.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
