It was that Novus Ordo liturgy that was shoved down the Roman throat in A.D. 1014. Today, we call it Tridentine, but the Tridentine roots are Alcuinian, not Roman and certainly not Petrine.

Please, that's absurd. The roots of the Tridentine (the Canon, etc.) are recorded in the Leonine, Gelasian, and Gregorian Sacramentaries which long predate Alcuin.

Roots away, me boys, roots away! "The roots of the Tridentine (the Canon, etc.) are recorded in the Leonine, Gelasian, and Gregorian Sacramentaries which long predate Alcuin." Yes indeedy. OK, so he did not invent the liturgy for Aachen out of cloth. But it was indeed Alcuin who did the dirty deed and Henry II who shoved it right down the throat of the Roman pope.

Details are all layed out for you in glorious detail by Gerald Eliard,S.J., Master Alcuin, Liturgist: A Partner of Our Piety (Chicago, Loyola University Press, 1956).

Read and weep baby!
