From what I understand, Annib. Bugnini (quite influential in the reform) detested anything having to do with ‘offering’ or ‘sacrifice’ and ended up eradicating all the Offertory prayers, replacing th…

MatthewRoth: but that’s just it, you want to do what you want: it’d actually be more honest if you said that the law is worth ignoring and that we should just do what we want.

But the gradual in translation is off limits.

This is not accurate. And many bishops have given explicit permission for precisely that. The cardinal archbishop of Boston (one of the mo…

In terms of whether one can sing the Gradual in place of the Responsorial Psalm, the 1970 rubrics explicitly permit and envision this—in Latin or English. Some liturgical books seem to prefer the Res…

“Christ has died…” was arguably the most popular acclamation prior to the implementation of the current Missal.

For myself, I think that's a terrible one. It's not in the off…

Some authors also believe the words mysterium fidei may have 'originally' (ahem) been spoken by the deacon, who often 'took care of' the chalice. But, for what it's worth, sc…

Nobody seems to know the 'true' (ahem) reason it was added, and you're correct that it completely breaks up the flow of the Canon. Some authors claim P6 added it “because it can be fou…

CGM, your version of 'Ave Regina Cælorum' strikes me as even nicer than the original in lingua latina!
