"It was felt necessary to revise and enrich the formulae of the Roman Missal. The first stage of such a reform was the work of Our Predecessor Pius XII with the reform of the Easter Vigil and the rites of Holy Week (1), which constituted the first step in the adaptation of the Roman Missal to the contemporary way of thinking"
(Paul VI, Apostolic Constitution Missale Romanum, April 3, 1969)

Modus operandi.

(thanks for posting this in the Library SeanJ)

Yes, it is interesting that their idea of "enrichment" is always synonomous with "impoverishment," and is always the prelude to significant and substantial excissions and reductions.

Prayers they dont like are termed as "medieval accretions," and chopped on this basis.

Excellent find!

Its primary value is to put the reforms into historical context.

Thank You!

Fr. Pfeiffer, when he was up here on Palm Sunday, used the old ritual.

I really think it depends on what is provided to them. If a Mass center provides Fr. Pfeiffer with the modernized Holy Week rituals, they'll do that, but if a Mass center would provide the old version, he would do that.

If the Mass centers would uniformly provide the old Holy Week ritual, by giving them the old missal (the 1945 missal is the one we have up here) they would provide us with the received and approved rites as it should be.

Ah, that makes sense.
