New Liturgy of the Hours Hymnal
In 2020, Msgr. Wadsworth told me that USCCB would eventually publish the texts; and all permissions issues would lie with the USCCB. So I expected that the Conference will own the texts. But other people may have more up-to-date information.

Parish Music Meeting A'Coming. Add Your Thoughts.
One note about the "Great Amen": it doesn't seem to be an official concept in the Church's liturgical books. While some writers have said impressive-sounding things about a big noisy Amen in early-church practice in some places,…

Use of instruments during Lent?
Can we (or have the bishops) define " a suitable reason, "? Let's not. If the bishops' conference were to work out a list of specific suitable reasons, it would inevitably include a catch-all clause for cases not covered by the …

First time using Texworks and it's not going great
Have you been using TeX already for a while? It's a complicated technical typesetting package with a big learning curve, and I don't recommend it for most users. If your needs are not complicated (e.g., if you're not creating lon…

I've added a couple of books to that directory: the 1959 Discalced Carmelite propers; and the 1960 Antiphonale Missarum.

French bishop comments on relations with traditional Mass communities
Indeed not entirely: there are lists of the policies bishops have adopted, so one can see where bishops rushed into imposing rigid bans.

Bea Psalter in «Communio» (2008) by Rice (ed.)?
When the Communio book was issued, TLMs were not very common, Summorum Pontificum had not been issued, and CMAA wanted to help choirs to sing the antiphons at Masses in the modern Roman rite. Since the modern liturgical books use the Nova Vulgata, …

Since Eric Sammons is mentioned above in a quotation, a new article of his may be helpful for understanding his words about rethinking the papacy. He outlines four positions on the papacy that are voiced within the Catholic community; he identif…

I think a word needs to be clarified. The term "Magisterium" refers to the teaching office of the Church; that is, her function of presenting the Church's doctrine. This function is entrusted, of course, to the Pope and the bishops…

ICEL Hymns for the Liturgy of the Hours, Second Edition
I don't know who the publisher is either, but it seems that ICEL is having custom engravings prepared, much as they did for the Roman Missal melodies; they aren't leaving it to the publisher.
