Hm...this is big. That's Archbishop Hepworth, current head of the TAC. I guess the thinking is since he was ordained a priest in the Roman Rite, to the Roman Rite he must return. It will perhaps be a blow to him personally, although he has been remarkably humble in accepting whatever Rome was going to decide.
Without excluding liturgical celebrations according to the Roman Rite, the Ordinariate has the faculty to celebrate the Holy Eucharist and the other Sacraments, the Liturgy of the Hours and other liturgical celebrations according to the liturgical books proper to the Anglican tradition, which have been approved by the Holy See,
This one will be interesting to watch. AS things stand now, presumably this means the current Anglican Use. Will the English/Knott Missal be approved? (I've heard that Hepworth said Rome is in the process of revising those books) And what about the Sarum Rite...which some think has never been abrogated?
I would love to see Cranmer's Prayer Book make a big comeback. I've said over and over again that we need a new and scholarly translation (from the Sarum Missal!) of the parts of the AU Rite that were substituted for the mutilated portions of the Edwardine service . . . . so that we have a smooth, seamless 17th c. Catholic prayer book.
It also excludes the like of the infamous Florida “Cutie”, of recent memory....... (that’s the ex Fr. Alberto....:-)
I have it on good authority that those charged with the task were told to have the new Missal ready by Christmas. So, hopefully we will have all our questions answered soon.
