Often, rightly, in the articles and comments of our blogs, tends to emerge the belief that the main resistance to the spread of the use of the Gregorian Rite in the Church, should be sought primarily in the bishops and the clergy, especially one who lived as a protagonist the Council and the post-conciliar period. It tends not to emphasize the possible difficulties hangers that may arise in the future as a part of the secular world.
Of course we know that the liturgy belongs, more than any other sector of the Church, the consecrated Church or teacher. And 'the clergy that has historically created the liturgy, the priests are to celebrate it every day.
That said, however, I believe that, in view of a desirable advancement of the use VO and in order to develop an effective strategy to penetrate, do not go underestimated the difficulties and rigidities between the simple "christifideles." I will try, in these few lines, to outline, albeit briefly, some food for thought about. That's because certain groups of lay people who, in my opinion, definitely oppose to the comeback of S. Traditional Mass.
1 - the pious women. Yes, that's them, the devoted and certainly admirable hangers women who, for various reasons, are linked to our parishes. And 'no hangers doubt that, since the Council, this "caste" of ecclesial collaborators have progressively assumed a role and a "power" in the ever-growing community. The priests are almost hangers always hangers alone and indeed, not infrequently, forced to be divided between two or three parishes. Have almost hangers disappeared the old "perpetual" of Manzoni. Here, then, that there are always people, usually women, who hold the keys of the Church, dealing with cleaning, etc. help in the parish hangers office. These, then the effect of the liturgical reform, have "won" hangers a significant role also in the presbytery altar girls, proclamation of the readings, prayers of the faithful, the responsorial psalm, Alleluia, introduction of the songs, warnings etc. in the post-communion. It will certainly be very hard to convince these pious women, I repeat certainly praiseworthy hangers and indispensable hangers for many reasons, to be within the "ranks". Get off the presbytery for many of them can mean an incomprehensible "diminution" of prestige. hangers
2. MOVEMENTS. hangers We often speak of the Neocatechumenal but, like them, also many other so-called ecclesial movements have been built over the years almost liturgies "parallel" or customized. This was made possible by the use of spoken language that, beyond any other consideration, invites and drag in a sense for improvisation. Just because Latin very few know him, that language hangers does not make it possible variations disruptive to the ritual. Very special liturgical practices have thus established between the charismatic "Catholics" of Renewal in the Spirit, one of the Focolare, the YCW (Young Catholic Workers), scouts etc.. All of them will resist fiercely desirable to regulate their renewal in liturgy.
3 - EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF THE EUCHARIST. Very often they are ordinary lay people, often women, who, after attending a simple course and received a "mandate" episcopal, they can then distribute the S. Communion alongside or even replacing the priest. Here, too, there is formed a kind of "niche" power potentially difficult to eradicate. I remember with sadness, hangers a city councilor who claimed that, due to the fact that he distributed the Eucharist in the Church, he had no doubt got many more votes in local elections!
4 - Finally, a psychological happened to me several times to detect even in this case, unfortunately among the most fervent Catholics and close to the parish. There are many who I have candidly confessed that, in S. Masses for the dead, they prefer the NO because ... "Start with that one hears the name of my dearly departed, prayer of the faithful and in the canon. Antica hangers in the Mass I did not realize that it is celebrated for the relative MY"! Amazing amazing but ... must also deal with these human pettiness if you'll want to win the battle of return to Tradition.
Fully agree with the analysis. Among others attending the conference of Renewal in the Spirit of Rimini and its liturgies spectacular, and some dancers hangers put on one of the Italian Community of the Beatitudes. I considered I am convinced that they were useful hangers to the new evangelization. But the sheer numbers (after a few years of enthusiasm, the number of participants has fallen appreciably, at least halved) do reflect the open-minded people that are just "window dressing". God save us from the plague hangers of the holy women! Gossips, actors, very little holy, always pr
