CathInfo posters, who are fixedly devoted to the 1962 Bugnini transitional Missal that was adopted by the SSPX as their liturgical standard in the early 1980s, and who are defenders of Bakery and Wine Cellar consecrations, having no practical experience of the immemorial "received and approved" liturgical tradition, are most likely ignorant of the first Bugnini transitional Missal instituting the 1956 Holy Week changes, so, this should be of interest.
Bakery and Wine Cellar consecration theology drives a wedge between the Passion and the Holy Eucharist. This theology believes that wine can be consecrated alone without bread, it believes that bread can be consecrated alone without wine, and it believes that either species can be consecrated alone or together without the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. As said before, this is the theology of the Novus Ordo.
Pope Paul VI introducing the Novus Ordo Missal in 1969 said:
"This renewal has also shown clearly that the formulas of the Roman Missal ought to be revised and enriched. The beginning of this renewal was the work of Our predecessor, this same Pius XII, in the restoration of the Paschal Vigil and of the Holy Week Rite, which formed the first stage of updating the Roman Missal for the present-day mentality."
Ordo Hebdomadae Sanctae (OHS), published November 16, 1955 and became effective during Holy Week of 1956, eliminated many immemorial liturgical customs. One novelty adopted was the uniting of the readings of Passion and the Gospel that heretofore were distinct readings.
In 1956 they were not only combined together but the Passion reading eliminated the institution narrative of Holy Eucharist!Fr. Stefano Carusi wrote a treatise entitled, "The Reform of Holy Week in the Years 1951-1956 from Liturgy to Theology by Way of the Statements of Certain Leading Thinkers (Annibale Bugnini, Carlo Braga, Ferdinando Antonelli)" that was published in
Disputationes Theologicae, translated to English by Fr. Charles W. Johnson, and made available through Rorate Caeli. This was previously posted on CathInfo but received relatively few readings and no comments. Fr. Carusi writes:
OHS 1956, page 11: Elimination of the Gospel passage which connects the institution of the Eucharist with the Passion of Christ (Matthew 26: 1-36).
Fr. Stefano Carusi Commentary: We now come to a pass that to us seems the most disconcerting, above all because it seems, as far as the archives reveal, that the Commission had decided not to change anything in regard to the Passion, since it was of the most ancient origin (Msgr. Nicola Giampietro, op. cit., pp. 304, 305*). Nevertheless, we know neither how nor why the narrative of the Last Supper was expunged. It is hard to believe that for simple motives of saving time thirty verses of the Gospel would be struck out, especially considering the relevance of the passage concerned. Up till then, tradition desired that the narration of the Passion in the Synoptics always include the institution of the Eucharist, which, by virtue of the sacramental separation of the Body and Blood of Christ, is the herald of the Passion. The reform, with a single stroke aimed at a fundamental passage of Sacred Scripture, obscured the vital relation of the Last Supper, the sacrifice of Good Friday, and the Eucharist. The passage on the institution of the Eucharist was eliminated as well from Holy Tuesday and Holy Wednesday, with the astounding result that it is nowhere to be found in the entire liturgical cycle! This was the result of a climate of hasty change, which disrupted centuries-old traditions yet was incapable of considering the entirety of Scripture read during the year.
(*Msgr. Nicola Giampietro, liturgical historian, kept the notes and minutes of the discussions of the preparatory commission preserved in the archives of the Congregation of Rites.)
There you have it! It was Bugnini and his liturgical commission who drove a deep wedge between the Passion and the Holy Eucharist destroying their necessary relationship for benefit of "present-day mentality." Do you suppose that Bugnini had the presence of mind to envision Bakery and Wine Cellar consecrations as the end result of his theological-liturgical novelty?
