But separating it from the Consecration, and attaching it to the "Christ has died etc." acclamation was a misdeed of ICEL. Let us be sure to apply blame where it is due.

This was done by Bugger Bugnini and his Very Best Pal, Rembert (and others on the Consilium.)

The Mysterium Fide is chanted, and the chanted response is Mortem Tuum annunciamus Domine, ...(etc.)

It was built into the NO as an acclamation/response after the Consecration.

And it was a lousy idea.

I don't for a minute doubt the perfidy of Bugnini or Rembert the Depraved ... but I stand by my interpretation that by its placement it refers to the consecration. I've always found the placement of the "memorial acclamation" wierd ... Christ is right there on the Altar, why are we blithering about end-times?

As for the scarlet N.O. ... Matt 5:11-12
