Classical Roman liturgy
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 .
