Classical Roman liturgy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Classical Roman Liturgy is primarily the celebration of mass in the Church of Rome in late antiquity and the early Middle Ages , i.e. the Roman rite before it was influenced by the “Franconian-German liturgy” and before the ritual customs of the Roman Curia became style-defining, which then became the Tridentine rite shaped. The Classical Roman Liturgy was held as a parish mass by the Roman Pope (or a bishop representing him ) or a Roman presbyter , usually surrounded by concelebrants , especially in the great basilicas of the Holy City, namely in the Lateran Basilica and Old St. Peter , celebrated. The classical liturgical books of Rome are: (1) as collections of prayer the sacramentaries and (2) as ceremonial instructions the Ordines Romani . The classical Roman liturgy served as the liturgical reform of Pope Pius XII. and the Second Vatican as a model (“ norm of the fathers ”).

The Tridentine liturgy or the liturgy of 1962 (“Pianic liturgy”) must be distinguished from the classical Roman liturgy .
