| | The ROMAN CATHOLIC MASS and the BIBLE |
 | | All the blessings of the Gospel are withheld from those who accept the doctrine of the Mass, for it is in complete and deadly opposition to the Gospel. | | | The Christian sees in the Lord's Supper a memorial, a communion, a feast of thanksgiving, and some indeed regard it as a sacrament, but in Rome it is a "Sacrifice"!—ceremony in which the celebrant boldly claims to offer for the living and the dead, a repetition of the atoning sacrifice of Christ on Calvary. | | | First: The doctrine of the Mass denies the all-sufficiency of the sacrifice of Christ,-the Atonement,-a truth which the Bible has safeguarded at every point, in language that cannot be misunderstood. |

| | Whenever he is present at a Mass with a congregation, it is fitting that the bishop himself preside over the assembly and associate the presbyters with himself in the celebration, if possible by concelebrating with them. | | | Included among the external actions of the Mass are those of the priest going to the altar, of the faithful presenting the gifts, and their coming forward to receive communion. | | | Every Mass is offered for both the living and the dead and there is a remembrance of the dead in each eucharistic prayer. |

| | The Mass is a sacrifice, an act by which the Church gives to Almighty God, officially and in the name of all, the worship that is due to Him alone. | | | "The Most Beautiful Thing This Side of Heaven" When we attend this Mass, we are directly connected with our Lord, with the Apostles themselves, with the saints and martyrs who died for the privilege of attending this Mass, and with all the Catholic faithful from the first century up to the present day. | | | Amen." A Mass in which the priest recites the prayers is called a Low Mass. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Liturgy of the Mass |
| | Only in churches which have no ordained person except one priest, and in which high Mass is thus impossible, is it allowed to celebrate the Mass (on Sundays and feasts) with most of the adornment borrowed from high Mass, with singing and (generally) with incense. | | | But, in churches that have no official conventual Mass and in the case of the priest who says Mass for his own devotion, one only of the coinciding Masses is said, the others being (usually) commemorated by saying their collects, secrets, and post-Communions after those of the Mass chosen. | | | The Roman Mass, even apart from the testimony of Justin Martyr, Clement, Hippolytus, Novatian, still bears evidence of its development from a type of liturgy of which that of the Apostolic Constitutions is the only perfect surviving specimen (see LITURGY). |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Canon of the Mass |
| | The old distinction, in all liturgies, is between the Mass of the Catechumens (the litanies, lessons from the Bible, and collects) and the Mass of the Faithful (the Offertory of the gifts to be consecrated, Consecration prayer, Communion, and dismissal). | | | This prayer is commonly believed to be the remnant of the Roman Epiklesis (Duchesne joins the preceding "Supra quæ" to it as making up the Invocation, "Origines", 173). | | | By the tenth century the Missal, containing whole Masses and including Epistles and Gospels, takes the place of the separate books ("Sacramentarium" for the celebrant, "Lectionarium" for the deacon and subdeacon, and "Antiphonarium Missæ" for the choir). |

| | Theo~Logical, 1st Quarter 1998 |
| | For the Roman Catholic priest to assert that he serves at the same altar as Christ is to confess openly that he ministers at the altar of a different Christ than the one spoken of in the Bible. | | | The epistle to the Hebrews, when comparing the Old Covenant with the New Covenant, makes much of the fact that under the old priestly caste, the sacrifices offered in the temple were of no effect in removing sin, "as the high priest enters the Holy Place yearly with blood not his own" (Hebrews 9:25b). | | | This is what the priest is alleged to do when he serves at the altar to offer the transubstantiated wafer sacrifice to God. |

| | The Roman Mass |
| | The Mass was not the only sacred service in the Roman liturgy: a series of eight shorter daily prayer services known as the Divine Office (or "The Canonical Hours") was also developed during the Middle Ages. | | | For hundreds of years, Christians were persecuted by Roman authorities; however, during the fifth century in a miraculous turnabout, the once-underground Christian Church became not only tolerated—but formally established as the official church of Rome. | | | The prayers of the Mass Ordinary were among the most important musical texts of the Middle Ages and all subsequent historical eras. |

| | St. Francis and the Roman Rite |
| | This episode is instructive; the latter Pope in his letters on this subject to the Kings of Aragon, Castile, and Navarre reminds them energetically of the Papal right to the charge of Divine worship, and also to that of establishing the Roman liturgy in all Catholic countries, especially in Spain. | | | The activity of the Franciscans at that time was prodigious; and in all the countries through which they passed as missionaries they established this use of the Missal and Breviary which they themselves followed; though they slightly modified it, especially in the case of the Franciscan Feasts. | | | Each Religious Order, each diocese has its own Feasts, its own Patrons, which they celebrate with great solemnity; they are the "Proper," as it is called, of the diocese or Order. |

| | A SHORT HISTORY OF THE ROMAN MASS |
| | It is a summary of the authentic teaching of the Church, it reveals the true significance of the mystery which is accomplished in the Mass and of the prayers which the Church uses. | | | The Missal, being concerned directly with the Mass and the Holy Eucharist, which is the chief of the Sacraments, has the most right to our veneration, and with it the Pontifical and the Ritual, because those three in the early Church formed one volume, as we have seen when speaking of the Sacramentary. | | | For the Roman Church to throw it overboard would be tantamount, in the eyes not only of the Orthodox, but also of the Anglicans and even Protestants having still to some extent a sense of tradition, to a denial of all claim any more to be the true Catholic Church? |

| | Mass (Liturgy) : Roman Mass |
| | The Sacramentary[?] is the liturgical book containing the prayers and rubrics of the Roman Mass, used by the priest at the altar. | | | Synopsis : The beginning of the Mass usually begins with a hymn and an exchange of greetings between the priest and the congregation. | | | The Mass, as the principal worship service of the Roman Catholic Church, has acquired through its long history several names, like Eucharist, Agape, the Lord's Supper, and Holy Communion. |

| | Medieval Sourcebook: Mass of The Roman Rite [Latin/English] |
| | On Sundays before the principal Mass the church and congregation are sprinkled with holy water. | | | This Novus Ordo [still in Latin!] is the current standard mass for the Roman Catholic Church [excepting the affiliated eastern churches]. | | | The distinction between High and Low mass was removed, as were many repetitions, ritual gestures, and the requirement that the priest say as "his" prayers also said by the people and choir. |

| | THE HISTORY OF THE MASS |
| | The Roman Mass is a liturgical form that we find first, not in the laws of some medieval pope, but in the Epistles, the Acts of the Apostles, and the Gospels. | | | It is still redolent of that liturgy, of the days when Caesar ruled the world and thought he could stamp out the faith of Christ, when our fathers met together before dawn and sang a hymn to Christ as to a God. | | | THE first source for the history of the Mass is obviously the account of the Last Supper in the New Testament. |

| | THE MASS OF THE FAITHFUL OFFERTORY.--It is still the custom for the celebrant to turn towards the people after the Gospel and to say: "Dominus vobiscum, Oremus." This salutation is generally followed by a prayer. | | | THE ROMAN CANON.--The word "Canon," Canon Missae" in our Missal, is the title of all the prayers which follow the "Sanctus." No other indication is furnished in the Missal to show where the "Canon" ends, and it would seem to continue till the Last Gospel inclusively. | | | The diaconal prayer at this juncture was also suppressed and the Mass of the catechumens closed with the reading of the Gospel. |

| | Angelus: The Excellence of the Roman Mass |
| | The Blessing and Procession of Holy Water at the beginning of the Sunday Mass, and the censing of the altar at the Offertory, are also foreign importations in the Roman Mass. | | | This elevation was formerly the principal elevation of the Mass and this doxology is the most solemn of all the numerous doxologies in the Catholic Liturgy; it was also the principal doxology in the Mass-we might say, the only one. | | | Innocent I (401-417), in a famous letter to Decentius, Bishop of Eugubio, written in 416, protests against liturgical innovations, and insists that the bishop shall remain faithful to the tradition of the Roman Church; he particularly mentions the place of the Kiss of Peace, the recitation of the Diptychs, and several other observances. |

| | A SHORT HISTORY OF THE ROMAN MASS |
| | This is a topic of immense importance to all Catholics, for the Mass is at the very heart of the Catholic religion. | | | Liberal scholaars assure us that there are presently in the world "two churches", that the old one must be put to death before the new one can reign supreme, and that they are well along with their program. | | | Keeping our ancient Catholic liturgical traditions is a key to keeping the Catholic Faith, without which it is impossible to please God, and saving our souls. |
