Concelebration in these contexts is officially described as symbolizing the unity of the Priesthood, of the Sacrifice and also the whole People of God [see GIRM (2011) no. 199].\u00a0 It should be noted, however, that within some monastic communities of men and women, greater sensitivity is often shown by limiting concelebration at Mass in order to down-play the differences between ordained and non-ordained members within a monastic community.<br>\u00a0<br>It is worth considering whether this type of\u00a0<em>ecclesial sensitivity<\/em>\u00a0could be adopted by the Church community more broadly when large-scale local and international Eucharistic celebrations are organised.\u00a0 In a time in the Church\u2019s history when serious consideration is being given to ways to re-engage with Catholics\u00a0<em>en masse<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 especially religious and lay women and men \u2013 many of whom, sadly, no longer participate at Mass regularly on Sundays (e.g. around 90% of Catholics no longer participate at Mass in some first-world countries), organisers should consider how hundreds of concelebrants vested at Mass, often standing closest to the altar and with the best sight-lines, frequently (although un-intentionally) block even the view of the non-ordained in the assembly.<br>\u00a0<br>Are there more appropriate \u2013 more thoughtful &#8211; options that could arrive at a better and more sensitive balance of ministries and prevent the liturgical processions and visual optics from becoming too distorted in terms of an ordained ministerial focus, with resultant implications for the ritual flow and a sense of noble simplicity?\u00a0 It is interesting to note in the GIRM (2011) no. 199 that concelebration is recommended, \u201cunless the good of the Christian faithful requires or suggests otherwise.\u201d\u00a0 Two questions for consideration are:\u00a0 what does \u201cthe good of the Christian faithful\u201d require or suggest from the point of view of synodality, and should Eucharistic concelebration\u00a0<em>on a large scale<\/em>\u00a0still be considered preferable in a synodal context?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Paul Taylor, Ph.D., is currently Assistant Director of the Australian Catholic University Centre for Liturgy and Organist and Director of Music at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Bendigo, Victoria.\u00a0 From 2012 until 2022, he served as Executive Secretary of the ACBC Bishops Commission for Liturgy and of the National Liturgical Council before joining ACU in 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PAUL TAYLOR &#8212; Two questions for consideration are:\u00a0 what does \u201cthe good of the Christian faithful\u201d require or suggest from the point of view of synodality, and should Eucharistic concelebration\u00a0on a large scale\u00a0still be considered preferable in a synodal context?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":65985,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3118,1081,19,25,3899],"tags":[3700,1859,3894,3572],"class_list":["post-65970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ars-celebrandi-new-ws","category-church-reform","category-mass","category-ordained-ministry","category-synodality","tag-australian-catholic-university-centre-for-liturgy","tag-concelebration","tag-paul-taylor","tag-synodality"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Large Scale Eucharistic Concelebration &amp; Synodality:\u00a0 What Is Appropriate Today?
