Word of the Day: Sacrosanctum Concilium


SACROSANCTUM CONCILIUM. The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy of the Second Vatican Council. It was the first document issued by the Council, whose purpose was expressed in the opening paragraph: ". . . to impart an ever increasing vigor to the life of the faithful; to adapt more closely to the needs of our age those institutions which are subject to change; to foster whatever can promote union among all who believe in Christ; to strengthen whatever can help to call all mankind into the Church's fold" (December 4, 1963).
✠✠JMJ✠✠
A complete failure, probably because the (evil) 'Spirit of Vatican II' totally prevented its implementation, and perverted what was done in its name.

It did not mandate, nor did it foresee the vernacular Mass or celebration versus populum, it ordered that there be 'no innovation' in the Mass (hah!), that Gregorian chant be given 'pride of place', all of which gave way to the 'Spirit of Vatican II', the protestantising of the Mass, and the destruction of the Roman Rite.

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.
