It, rather than the Missal of Paul VI, is properly the "Missal of Vatican II".<BR/><BR/>If only things had stopped there...Alnwickianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00313935455554823762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-34715701484639455102008-01-10T17:59:00.000+00:002008-01-10T17:59:00.000+00:00I too would agree with Waugh, a brilliant writer ...I too would agree with Waugh, a brilliant writer and a very sensitive man, (perhaps too sensitive,) whose entire being was revolted by the liturgical changes of the 1960s.<BR/><BR/>I have always wondered if the loss of the "old" Mass did not help kill him off at the early age of 63.<BR/><BR/>Certainly, it caused him great anguish.<BR/><BR/>At least his death, shortly after luncheon on Easter Sunday 1966, when he had just that morning attended the Mass at Combe Florey, was mercifully sudden.<BR/><BR/>After all these years, I still think : Evelyn Waugh R.I.P.Dr. Peter H.

I have often wondered if people at the time, thought of it as an interim rite,a stop gap before the new mass came in.<BR/>I have a small edition of '65 missal, which belonged to my father.I have always been struck by how traditional it was.Iindeed i used it for a long time at traditional masses before I got an earlier edition of the missal. There is no suggestion that it was only a temporary rite.<BR/> This missal was flexible enough to allow for very traditonal and very avant- garde celebrations. So I have often wondered why was there a completely new form of the mass within 5 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
