Two stories have emerged over the last day or so. First, hints on the content of Benedict’s post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation on the Eucharist:<\/a><\/p>\n

According to a Vatican source, the commission will approve \u201ca proposal and a plan for liturgical reform,\u201d which will be made public in the Apostolic Exhortation that the Holy Father will tentatively issue in October.<\/p>\n

The Vatican source said that the exhortation would include an invitation to greater use of Latin in the daily prayer of the Church and in the Mass\u2014with the exception of the Liturgy of the Word\u2014as well as in large public and international Masses.  <\/p>\n

The document would also encourage a greater use of Gregorian chant and classical polyphonic music; the gradual elimination of the use of songs whose music or lyrics are secular in origin, as well as the elimination of instruments that are \u201cinadequate for liturgical use,\u201d such as the electric guitar or drums, although it is not likely that specific instruments will be mentioned.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Archbishop Marini on the Pope and the Papal liturgies:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Archbishop Piero Marini, the master of ceremonies for papal liturgies, spoke to the Italian internet site on March 20, during a visist to Milan for the publication of his book, Liturgy and Beauty. Archbishop Marini revealed that Pope Benedict XVI has been more demanding than his predecessor in watching plans for liturgical celebrations at the Vatican. <\/p>\n

"With John Paul II I had a bit more freedom," the Italian prelate told the Affaritaliani.it web site, "We had an implicit pact, because he was a man of prayer and not a liturgist." With the new Pope, he continued, "I have to be a bit more attentive, because he is an expert on liturgy." <\/p>\n

The master of papal ceremonies said that he and the Pope are now carrying out a re-examination of papal liturgical celebrations. He reported that he regularly sends his notes to the Pontiff, who returns them with corrections, suggestions, or a note of approval. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
