BOMBSHELL! THE EXTRAORDINARY FORM IS WHAT THE 1962 ROMAN MISSAL IS CALLED IN POPE FRANCIS’ REORIENTATION OF THE ROMAN CURIA AND THE NOW DICASTERY FOR DIVINE WORSHIP

 

FROM PRAYTELL WHICH YOU CAN READ THE FULL COMMENTARY HERE:

The only other noteworthy point that struck me in my first reading is that the name of “Extraordinary Form” seems to be back.  Thus solving the linguistic quandary as to how we should refer to the celebrations of the Eucharist according to the 1962 edition of the Roman Missal promulgated by Pope John XXIII.  Article 93 says “The Dicastery deals with the regulation and discipline of the sacred liturgy as regards the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite.”  While there is a lot that could be said about the merits of this term, at least it gives us a common vocabulary for these debates.
