Pope's letter Part I: Pope Encourages Latin Mass and Gregorian Chant

Read Entire Letter

As a part of this letter, the Holy Father, as is no surprise to anyone, encouraged Latin and Gregorian Chant. This letter also represents the thoughts of a synod of bishops. He also tries to correct some mistaken ideas about the mass and what "active participation" means. This later being one of the most misunderstood ideas in the Church since the Second Vatican Council and the excuse for experimentation in the liturgy over the years.

"The Latin language

62. None of the above observations should cast doubt upon the importance of such large-scale liturgies. I am thinking here particularly of celebrations at international gatherings, which nowadays are held with greater frequency. The most should be made of these occasions. In order to express more clearly the unity and universality of the Church, I wish to endorse the proposal made by the Synod of Bishops, in harmony with the directives of the Second Vatican Council, (182) that, with the exception of the readings, the homily and the prayer of the faithful, such liturgies could be celebrated in Latin. Similarly, the better-known prayers (183) of the Church's tradition should be recited in Latin and, if possible, selections of Gregorian chant should be sung. Speaking more generally, I ask that future priests, from their time in the seminary, receive the preparation needed to understand and to celebrate Mass in Latin, and also to use Latin texts and execute Gregorian chant; nor should we forget that the faithful can be taught to recite the more common prayers in Latin, and also to sing parts of the liturgy to Gregorian chant. (184)"

I'm looking for more information about Cardinal Arinze's position on the Motu Proprio. The leader of SSPX says Arinze supports the position of the German Bishops, 'contrary to what he says in public'. I don't want to believe it. Does anyone else have any information about Arinze's position?

But he did not speak. http://startso11.info/www.autogie%C5%82da.pl+samochody++osobowe.html. Thousands of stones have been added to the structure erected by the Viennese physician and http://startso11.info/phaeton.html many more will be added in the course of time.. I'll tell http://startso11.info/w.onet.pl.html mother that we're just stepping out to do a little calling on the girls.. Deacon Hawkins overtook me on http://startso11.info/kodeks+legionowo.html the way here, and here said I had simply got to go sleigh-riding with him.. They were close to the Tutt House now, and her limp, that had entirely disappeared as they emerged from the woods, now became http://startso11.info/technologie+budowlane.html quite perceptible.. The idle waters of the lagoon, lying without tide or current in eternal indolence, rippled and sparkled in breeze and sunlight with a merry surface activity, and seemed to lap the leaky little http://startso11.info/klasyfikacja+PKD.html boat more swiftly on its way.. But he recovered himself instantly, and http://startso11.info/zalipie+gryfino.html continued: My client, the only daughter of a widowed mother--who has for years stemmed the varying tides of adversity--in the western precincts of this town--stands before you today invested only in her own innocence.. But he did not oftenest frequent the banqueting hall, where were endless hospitality and feasting--nor did he loiter much in http://startso11.info/euro+2008.html reception rooms, where a throng of new visitors was forever swarming--nor did he feed his vanity by haunting the apartment in which were stored the trophies of his varied triumphs--nor dream much in the great gallery hung with pictures of his travels.. Ha! Yes!--certainly--the http://startso11.info/www.softwarepach.pl.html jury.. By these means http://startso11.info/archiwizacja+dokument%C3%B3w.html I somewhat softened the Angel..

And if poor Prendergast stays there! Certainly, the worst use you can make of a man is to put him in prison! I know, indeed, that public men of the highest rank have resorted http://startso11.info/diagnozowanie+dziecka.html to this expedient long ago.. Can't you steer him by http://startso11.info/gra++w+samoloty.html shouting 'Gee' and 'Haw'? No, said Podington, he isn't an ox; but perhaps I can stop him.. None were left http://startso11.info/program+tracker.html but Hester, the great French scholar, who, being one of those young imps that seem to have the faculty of living without sleep, sat bolt upright with her eyes wide open, watching the uncomfortable visitors.. Little by little the light http://startso11.info/www%2Ckazjack.pl.html dawned on the ex-horse-trader.. 'My young friend,' said he, 'I understand that you have some singular secret, some charm, or spell, or gift, or something, I don't know what, of http://startso11.info/Haft+komputerowy.html which people are afraid..
