OF ALL TIME
The term “Tridentine Mass” traces
back to 1570, when—following the Council of Trent—Pope Pius V extended to the
whole Church the use of the Roman Mass as it had already been celebrated for
many centuries in Rome itself. However, as Inside the Vatican editor Robert Moynihan emphasizes (here), One important point to note: many
say, wrongly, that the old Latin Mass "dates from 1570," the year Pius
V promulgated it. No.
The old Mass dates at least to
Pope St. Gregory the Great (590-604) a thousand years(!) before Pope Pius
V, and, arguably, at least in part -- and I realize details of this point
are debated -- all the way back to the Apostles, and so, to Christ
Himself. In other words, the Mass
that Francis has decided -- advised, I suggest, by his courtiers -- to
suppress, is the Mass of the Catholic Church since the beginning. As Fr. Adrian Fortescue wrote in his
1912 work, The Mass: A Study of the Roman Liturgy: There
are many days still on which we say the Mass [with the very same propers and readings] that has been said for centuries,
back to the days of the Gelasian
and Leonine books. And when they do come, the new Masses only
affect the Proper. Our [Roman] Canon is untouched, and all the scheme of the
Mass. Our Missal is still that of Pius V. We may be very thankful that his
Commission was so scrupulous to keep or restore the old Roman tradition. Essentially the Missal of Pius V. is the
Gregorian Sacramentary; that again is formed from the Gelasian
book, which depends on the Leonine collection [of
Mass prayers attributed to Pope Leo I, 440-461]. We find the prayers of our
Canon in the treatise de Sacramentis and allusions to it in the 4th century. So our Mass goes back, without essential change, to the age when it first developed out of the oldest liturgy of all. It is still redolent of that liturgy, of the days when Caesar ruled the world and thought he could stamp out the faith of Christ, when our fathers met together before dawn and sang a hymn to Christ as to a God.

Ioseph TO
thee, O blessed Joseph,
do we come in our tribulation, and having implored the help of thy most holy
Spouse, we confidently invoke thy patronage also. Through that charity which
bound thee to the immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal
love with which thou embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg thee to
graciously regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his
Blood, and with thy power and strength to aid us in our necessities. O most watchful Guardian of the Holy
Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; O most loving father,
ward off from us every contagion of error and corrupting influence; O our
most mighty protector, be propitious to us and from heaven assist us in our
struggle with the power of darkness; and, as once thou rescued the Child
Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God's Holy Church from the snares of
the enemy and from all adversity; shield, too, each one of us by thy constant
protection, so that, supported by thy example and thy aid, we may be able to
live piously, to die holy, and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen. Published
in Pope Leo XIII’s 1889 encyclical on devotion to St. Joseph. But when has
the Church needed more than now help in its struggle with the power of
darkness and protection from the snares of the enemy? ONLINE WEEKLY LATIN MASS NEWSLETTER |
