You feel it, too, don’t you?<\/p>\n

There have been so many little hints and small incidents coming to light of late – all related to liturgy. I’m not prepared to make sense of it, particularly since hardly any of what we’re hearing is official yet. <\/p>\n

An indult freeing the Tridentine\/Pian\/Classical Roman Rite\/Mass? <\/p>\n

No more indult allowing lay extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist to purify sacred vessels?<\/a><\/p>\n

The music question.<\/p>\n

A "ruling" from Pope Benedict that the Latin pro multis <\/em>in the Eucharistic Prayer be translated "for many" in English, rather than "for all?"<\/a> <\/p>\n

(This last point has been buzzing around since last week, and I’ve not yet blogged on it because I wanted to do so after studying up on the issue myself. Tuesday, I hope)<\/p>\n

And then – extending far beyond liturgy, of course, the speculation that some rapprochement<\/em> is in the works with the SSPX. Somehow. <\/p>\n

And then…noises from others. The statement of those French bishops, noted below. The question of the implementation of the purification rubric in at least two dioceses (LA and the OC) , being noted at Closed Cafeteria<\/a> and other blogs. A rather narrow view of these issues expressed by many in the hierarchy. Hints, implications, something between nervousness and defensiveness. <\/p>\n

Perhaps I’m wrong. Perhaps there is no big deal coming at all and I’m being overly dramatic. It wouldn’t be the first time. I guess we’ll just wait and see. And work on that Tip Sheet, to pass the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The Catholicism comes from her side. Amy grew up in a number of places - Indiana - Washington, DC - Lubbock Texas - Arlington, Virginia - DeKalb, Illinois - Lawrence, Kansas - and Knoxville, Tennessee, where the family settled in 1973. She attended Knoxville Catholic High School, then the University of Tennessee where she majored in history. She received an MA in Church History from Vanderbilt University, where she wrote a thesis on the changing role of women in 19th century American Protestantism, and the ways Scripture was used to justify those changes. She worked as as a teacher in Catholic high schools and a Parish Director of Religious Education and started writing for the diocesan press - the Florida Catholic - in 1988. Amy has written columns for Our Sunday Visitor and Catholic News Service at times over the past twenty years. Her articles have been published in venues ranging from Our Sunday Visitor to the New York Times to Commonweal. She has written 17 books. 18, if you included the as yet tragically unpublished novel. Amy has five children, ranging in age from 26 to 4 and was married to Michael Dubruiel, who died unexpectedly in February 2009. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/author\/awelborn"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4902\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
