From Vivian McPhail re documents.I was reading (July 17, 2007) the magazine's website seeking out information on the two latest documents issued by Rome. I could not find anything. I am particularly interested in the Motu Proprio A motu proprio is a papal rescript in which the clause motu proprio (Latin, "of his own accord") is used, signifying that the provisions of the rescript were decided by the Pope personally and not by a cardinal or other advisors. that authorizes the never-abrogated codified cod·i·fy tr.v. cod·i·fied, cod·i·fy·ing, cod·i·fies 1. To reduce to a code: codify laws. 2. To arrange or systematize. Mass of St. Pius V Pius V, Saint Originally Antonio Ghislieri. 1504-1572. Pope (1566-1572). A leading figure of the Catholic Reformation, he excommunicated Elizabeth I of England. Noun 1. . Will the dioceses in Ontario be offering the Latin Mass The term Latin Mass refers to the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Mass celebrated in Latin. Specifically, the term is frequently used to denote the Tridentine Mass: that is, the Roman-Rite liturgy of the Mass celebrated in accordance with the successive editions of the Roman in September? Also the other document, concerning the Church, re-affirming the dogma that the Catholic Church alone is Christ's Church? Catholics, particularly the last generation or two need to be aware of these important issues. Thank you. Nanaimo, BC Editor's note: There are actually three new documents: one on China, one on the Church, and one on the Latin Mass. See News in Brief under Vatican and under China. Those who desire instant access to Vatican documents should access the Vatican website, www.vatican.va. |
