Do you see anything wrong with the use of an electronic Missal by the laity during Mass? I've seen pictures of novus ordo priests using electronic missal to say Mass; that seems wrong.

I didn't even know there was an e-Missal for the true Mass.

Divinimofficium would be an example.

It's probably not wrong with a layman using an e-reader to follow the Mass. The more I think about it, however, the more I wonder if it might be distracting to others.

I would think an e-reader on the altar would be wrong; it would certainly look silly. I think it would also violate the spirit and the letter of the rubrics.

I have seen priests use an iPad or something similar when delivering the sermon but never on the altar.

I once saw an SSPX priest use an app on his smartphone that had the prayers in it when he was giving a blessing.
