Word of the Day: Congegration for Divine Worship
CONGREGATION FOR DIVINE WORSHIP. Established in 1969 by Pope Paul VI, it became an autonomous part of the Roman Curia, with authority over all questions of divine worship, both liturgical and extraliturgical. Its three offices were as follows: 1. approval of calendars, interpretation of liturgical norms, and the care of doctrinal, pastoral, and ritual aspects of liturgical worship; 2. communication with episcopal conferences on all questions of worship; 3. promotion of the liturgical apostolate, of sacred music and art, and maintaining contact with liturgical and pastoral institutes. In 1975 it became part of the new Congregation for the Sacraments and Divine Worship.

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.
