Latin Tridentine Mass, Mass of the Ages

Fri., 4pm (U.S. Eastern Time) Course Description: Liturgical Latin refers to the language of the Roman Catholic Liturgy, or the language of worship. It must be pointed out that in the last fifty years, liturgical Latin was not only suppressed by the Church, but actually forbidden for use in worship, and replaced with the vernacular tongues. It was not until 2007, when Pope Benedict XVI, in a Motu Proprio entitled Summorum Pontificum, restored Liturgical Latin to its place in the church. The texts of Liturgical Latin consist of the Missale Romanum, Divinum Officium, and the Liber Usualis, (literally the “useful book.”). This course learns the Mass of Pope St. Pius V. DETAILS Level: This course is intended for students of Latin at all levels. Textbook: The New Roman Missal, 1945 edition, by Father Lasance.  Sections capped at: 5 students. If the course is sold-out, please fill out this waiting-list form. William Torchia, Esq.
