Vatican website translation:<\/p>\n

72. The rite and formulas for the sacrament of penance are to be revised so that they more clearly express both the nature and effect of the sacrament.<\/p>\n

Latin text:<\/p>\n

72. Ritus et formulae Paenitentiae ita recognoscantur, ut naturam et effectum Sacramenti clarius exprimant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Slavishly literal translation:<\/p>\n

72. The ceremonies and texts of [the Sacrament of] Penance are to be so revised, that they might express the nature and effect of the Sacrament more clearly.<\/p>\n

By the time of the Second Vatican Council, historical studies had delineated the quite diverse ritual structures by which post-baptismal forgiveness of sins was celebrated in the Church. Although the ordinary post-baptismal sacrament of reconciliation remained the eucharist, need for further structures of reconciliation had arisen when sin separated sinners from Eucharistic communion. The two central structures that developed were: 1) a solemn public process followed by a solemn public reconciliation (so-called \u201ccanonical penance\u201d) and 2) a private exchange between a penitent and a confessor, usually a presbyter (so-called \u201cCeltic tariff penance\u201d and forms derived from it).<\/p>\n

When the editio typica of the Ordo Penitentiae was promulgated in 1974, it presented three ritual structures for sacramental celebration as well as some models for non-sacramental penance services: a rite of reconciliation of individual penitents (Rite I); a rite of reconciliation of several penitents with individual confession and absolution (Rite II), and a rite of reconciliation of several penitents with general confession and absolution (Rite III). Although initially all three rites were employed fairly extensively in pastoral settings, increasing restrictions have been placed on the use of Rite III.<\/p>\n

Pray Tell<\/em> readers might wish to discuss how well the Order of Penance has been received in the half century since Vatican II; what the ritual, theological and pastoral advantages and disadvantages of each of the rites might be; how well the faithful have been catechized about sin, grace and reconciliation; and what further reforms of this sacrament\u2019s ritual celebration might be called for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
