Parishes will still do whatever they want and that will cause any number of problems when new pastors will want to implement the things the GIRM really say after a period where any number of abuses have become 'the tradition'.Gabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307116304179835358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981956.post-81456292417976060212011-10-18T00:08:29.423-04:002011-10-18T00:08:29.423-04:00A dubium was already submitted to the CDW on this ...A dubium was already submitted to the CDW on this very topic.<br /><br />"Numerous inquiries" received by the BCL led Cardinal Francis George, chairman of the BCL, to submit a dubium (doubt, question) to the Holy See's Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments (CDW) on May 26, 2003:<br /><br /> <i><b>Dubium: In many places, the faithful are accustomed to kneeling or sitting in personal prayer upon returning to their places after having individually received Holy Communion during Mass. Is it the intention of the Missale Romanum, editio typica tertia, to forbid this practice?<br /><br />Cardinal Francis Arinze, Prefect of the CDW, responded to the question on June 5, 2003 (Prot. N. 855/03/L):<br /><br /> Responsum: Negative, et ad mensum [No, for this reason]. The mens [reasoning] is that the prescription of the Institutio Generalis Missalis Romani, no. 43, is intended, on the one hand, to ensure within broad limits a certain uniformity of posture within the congregation for the various parts of the celebration of Holy Mass, and on the other, to not regulate posture rigidly in such a way that those who wish to kneel or sit would no longer be free.</b></i>Gabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307116304179835358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981956.post-29756433666022268612011-10-17T20:51:59.593-04:002011-10-17T20:51:59.593-04:00I too am in the Diocese of Antigonish.

I for one will not be going along with that and I know of a few others who also will not follow that bizarre rule. Hopefully the Bishop will not follow the precedent sent by one of his previous confreres in dealing with people who decide to ignore an unlawful rule. <br /><br />capebretonerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981956.post-76618525176160530632011-10-17T19:23:02.792-04:002011-10-17T19:23:02.792-04:00Here in the Diocese of Victoria, a spot of good ne...Here in the Diocese of Victoria, a spot of good news!<br /><br />Some of our parishes have been accustomed to kneel through the entire Eucharistic Prayer, some (most) stand at the Memorial Acclamation, and others stand all the way through. Once the new translation comes in, the following rules will apply:<br /><br />- For churches with kneelers (again, most of them), the new practice will be to kneel <i>all the way through the Eucharistic Prayer</i>.<br />- For churches without kneelers, the new practice will be to stand throughout the Eucharistic Prayer, and to make a profound bow at the Consecration.<br /><br />For most parishes, the change will be minor: simply remain kneeling instead of standing at the Mysterium Fidei. It will be interesting to see whether the "standing" parishes without kneelers obey the directive to make a profound bow. And it will be even more interesting to see whether those "standing" parishes <i>with</i> kneelers will obey the new directive to kneel.<br /><br />After receiving Communion, we are free to kneel, sit or stand as we please. We have also been explicitly told that there is no requirement to stand in the new GIRM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
