The
International Federation Una Voce (FIUV), to which the Latin Mass Society is
affiliated, announces the publication of a collection of short Position Papers
on aspects of the Traditional Mass (Extraordinary Form), which represent
an important contribution to the
ongoing debate about the Catholic liturgy.
The
papers are short but include many references to the Magisterium, and seek to
express the main arguments on each topic in a pithy and easily understood way.
The
topics include the manner of receiving Communion (in the hand or on the
tongue), worship facing east, the use of Latin, altar girls, the Eucharistic
fast, and the role of the traditional liturgy in the New Evangelisation. Copies
are available from Lulu:
"Let
me say simply that reading and ruminating over the FIUV Papers on the Liturgy
could serve as a marvellous primer for anyone, clergy or laity, on how to
address what often ends up being controversial, doing so in a very different
and respectful manner."
Archbishop Thomas Gullickson, Nuncio to the
Ukraine.
