""The Communion Rite at Sunday Mass" by Gabe Huck that says precisely this."
The day that Gabe Huck has any official teaching capacity in the Magisterium of the Universal Church will be the day that I become a sede vacantist.
His infantile theology is widespread and heretical, but it has never been taught by the Pope or the organs of the Holy See.
As his was one of the first scalps to fall to Cardinal George, I would suggest that he does not have universal appeal.
"I can tell you that virtually every "suggestion" in this book was implemented in the New Mass parish we used to attend."
I'm sure they were, and I'm sure they were all implemented in the French parishes where I have spent the last two weeks, and where the Masses were some of the worst travesties that I have ever seen. (I thought the situation was bad enough in England but in France I was so disgusted that I couldn't receive Communion.)
That still does not make his ideology the official teaching of the Church, though!
Time to become a sedevacantist! Here is what Vatican II says about the teaching authority of the bishops:
"Christ gave the Apostles and their successors the command and the power to teach all nations, to hallow men in the truth, and to feed them. Bishops, therefore, have been made true and authentic teachers of the faith, pontiffs, and pastors through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to them.Remember, the Archdiocese of Chicago published this stuff, they own the copyright, I think they might even own the publisher, Liturgy Training Publications. Virtually every bishop in the US (and in France according to your report) has followed the same theology and taught the same things. I'm friends with a seminarian in a New Mass seminary, and I can confirm that this is what he is being taught, and what he will believe when he becomes a priest -- that his job is to preside over assembly as they celebrate the eucharist. This is the teaching of virtually the entire Catholic hierarchy which shares in the collegial magisterium, according to Vatican II.Bishops, sharing in the solicitude for all the churches, exercise this episcopal office of theirs, which they have received through episcopal consecration, in communion with and under the authority of the supreme pontiff. As far as their teaching authority and pastoral government are concerned, all are united in a college or body with respect to the universal Church of God."
