Three years ago today, the Feast of the Holy Cross in 2007, joined the Motu Proprio "Summorum Pontificum " by Pope Benedict XVI. in force, with the celebration of Holy Mass and the Office according to the liturgical books of 1962, again without limitation for the whole church was allowed. In his former ACCOMPANYING LETTER to this legal text, the Holy Father to the bishops, among other things: can
"Moreover, both forms of usage of the rite Romanus fertilize each other: (...) In the celebration of Mass according to the Missal of Paul VI can. stronger than ever is the case, well, appear that sacredness that draws many people to the former usage. The surest guarantee that the Missal of Paul VI. municipalities one and is loved by them consists in the awesome performance of its requirements , of its spiritual richness and theological depth of his can be seen. "
Today, three years later, one must determine disillusioned that this papal wishes, at least in the southern Bavarian "Pope" dioceses that I can see something that was consistently ignored and will. In none of the Diocese Homepages of Passau, Regensburg and Munich-Freising is found today a note on this occasion: just a symptom, not more - but a telling symptom. Here, where it holds so much to highlight the life stages of the current pope, due, it has clearly not necessary to devote to with particular enthusiasm his concerns: "We are (themselves) Pope!"
in the various parishes of my diocese, I among others through church music services closer know, I would not like to bet that the relevant minister the contents of the Motu Proprio might reasonably indicate true (which of course apply to other liturgical-related announcements such as "Redemptionis Sacramentum" is expected). A few places are there, even though they where the Holy Mass is celebrated more or less regularly in the "extraordinary form of the Roman Rite", without reliable car and a fuel-erkleckliches budget will remain but their visit is a rare case.
What would be much more important, namely in the quotation above mentioned conception of the "New Mass" by the spiritual richness of the "old" knowledge is happening in my area absolutely not. celebrate Still, most priests according to the motto "In my parish I am the Pope," every few miles you will find a regional self-Rite, the older the celebrants are, the more "creative" often is her handling of the Meßformularen (in 15 years Diocese of Passau I can remember at least weekly church attendance in spite of hardly a fair that would not have at least a basic requirement of "Redemptionis Sacramentum" ignored). Latin Masses in the "ordinary form", perhaps with an attractive church music or even Gregorian chant, are simply non-existent. The Pope himself is these conditions well known, but he writes in the accompanying letter referred to literally
"... especially since the new missal in many places his order not true celebration, but almost as authorizing or even requiring creativity" was conceived, which frequently led to deformations of the liturgy almost unbearable. I speak from experience, since I've lived through that period with all its hopes and its confusion. And I saw how deeply people who are totally rooted in the faith of the Church, were violated by the arbitrary deformations of the liturgy. "
But that does not help us, the Pope is far away, even if it comes from here. Sun remains the remaining Catholics in our area for now no choice but to continue get with the dry black bread and stale water of all places and singular narrow-liturgy the small mustard seed hope for improvement in life, rather than the wine of joy to fill a rich Catholic liturgy, as it Pope Benedict wants us to set before so much.
