This isn\u2019t an international event that calls for Spanish and English and Vietnamese and so forth, though people from all over will be there. This is a celebration of the diocese of Rome, and they speak Italian there.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, eight years ago when Benedict took possession of the cathedral, the liturgy didn\u2019t look that much different from this. Benedict began his administration in continuity with what went before. But gradually over the course of Benedict\u2019s eight-year papacy, at the behest of Benedict or his MC Guido Marini, papal liturgies increasingly shifted to Latin. Near the end, in Rome or elsewhere, Benedict was pretty much always doing the Eucharistic Prayer in Latin. But now with Pope Francis it\u2019s in Italian.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/p>\n<p>In his first year as pope, on December 22, 2005, Benedict gave a very famous speech to the Roman curia. He criticized ways of interpreting Vatican II which he called \u201chermeneutics of discontinuity and rupture.\u201d The problem here is that the church after Vatican II is treated as something entirely new, a complete break with the preconciliar church. In contrast to this, he proposed a \u201chermeneutic of reform\u201d which emphasizes continuity between the church before and after the council. He has also called this way of interpretation a \u201chermeneutic of continuity,\u201d and it is this phrase which became most identified with his viewpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Benedict is certainly correct that the Catholic Church after Vatican II is the same church as the one before. We don\u2019t create a new church. We respond to the promptings of the Spirit who ever renews and reforms \u2013 sometimes markedly \u2013 the one church of Christ. But Benedict also took a sour, pessimistic view of liturgical renewal since Vatican II, including a pretty sharp critique of the supposed invention of a new liturgy under Pope Paul VI. He couldn\u2019t bring himself to accept the \u201cnew thing\u201d (cf. Isaiah 43:19) the Spirit was doing.<\/p>\n<p>Benedict\u2019s \u201chermeneutic of continuity\u201d was never about continuity with the past fifty years of Catholic liturgical renewal. It wasn\u2019t about the sensitivities of <em>current-day <\/em>worshipers or continuity with <em>current<\/em> liturgical practices. It was about establishing continuity with practices lost fifty years ago. It was about re-doing the liturgical reform as it supposedly should have been done. Ironically, Benedict\u2019s \u201chermeneutic of continuity\u201d meant a rupture with present practices and became a\u00a0pretext to introduce liturgical changes, sometimes great changes, of a traditional sort. (Think wall of candles between celebrant and congregation, or two forms of the Roman rite.)<\/p>\n<p>It was always a rather small group which supported Pope Benedict\u2019s liturgical thing, albeit a very vocal and enthusiastic group. Most of those by far in liturgical and musical ministry saw their life\u2019s work being called into question by the new direction under Benedict, and they had reason to feel confused or worried or demoralized. (Think new English missal.)<\/p>\n<p>Most of the Catholic church, most of the PIPs (\u201cpeople in the pews\u201d), wouldn\u2019t have been tracking all this. They don\u2019t read <em>Pray Tell<\/em> or <em>Worship<\/em> magazine. They go to Mass on Sunday and Father does it in their language, and they would wonder what all the fuss is about around here. They would have little reason to know that Pope Benedict had packed the Congregation for Divine Worship with advisors sympathetic to the 1962 missal, or that there was talk of re-writing all the introductions to the reformed liturgical rites. For these people, it is entirely unremarkable that Pope Francis celebrates Mass this Sunday in vernacular, facing the people, with simple but attractive vestments: he\u2019s doing what most all the Catholic Church does.<\/p>\n<p>But for those of us who track what\u2019s going on behind the scenes and what it means for the future of Catholic liturgical renewal, Pope Francis\u2019 Mass this Sunday at the Cathedral of John Lateran is one more indication of the direction of his papacy. It is part of Francis\u2019 \u201chermeneutic of continuity\u201d \u2013 with Vatican II, with Pope Paul\u2019s reform of the rites, and with the rest of the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n<p>awr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mass at John Lateran in Rome this Sunday is part of Francis\u2019 \u201chermeneutic of continuity\u201d \u2013 with Vatican II, with Pope Paul\u2019s reform of the rites, and with the rest of the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[10,28,2224],"tags":[1121,1570,1641,2229,3010,3021,882,2277],"class_list":["post-18990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ddw-holy-see","category-pope-benedict-xvi","category-pope-francis","tag-hermeneutic-of-continuity","tag-hermeneutic-of-rupture","tag-liturgical-renewal","tag-papal-liturgy","tag-pope-benedict-xvi","tag-pope-francis","tag-the-lateran-basilica","tag-vernacular"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
