Liturgy Test 1 — Introduction & History

Explain why the Divine Office is considered part of the Liturgy.

Explain to me like I’m a skeptic: “Why does God need sacrifice to prove to him you love him?”

Refute this: “There’s no point for me to go to Mass. I don’t get anything out of it.”

There were two types of liturgies between 31–100 AD. Briefly tell me what the second liturgy looked like (the one without the Sacrifice).

In the 9th–11th centuries, a lot was added to the Mass. Why was this not a corruption of the Mass?

Why did Charlemagne promote the “Romanitization” of the Liturgy? (three reasons)

Give 3 examples of private prayers of the priest that eventually made their way into the codified Mass.

How did the Franciscans influence the Roman Missal?

How did Pius V decide what to keep and what to remove from the Roman Missal (1570 — Quo Primum)? In other words, how did he decide what was important and what was unnecessary?

Should St. Joseph have been added to the Canon by John XXIII?

Any prayer that is said out loud, in public, and in a church is considered Liturgy.

Early Christians in the 1st century would go to Mass and the Jewish Synagogue.

The practice of religion is a learned behavior of man.

A Mass, recognizable to us today, would be found by the turn of the 5th century.

The Roman Rite as we know it today is a mix of various other Catholic rites.

The Palm Sunday and Easter Vigil ceremonies come to the Roman rite from the Byzantine Rite.

Quo Primum “calls down the wrath of Almighty God” on any Pope who changes the Mass.

Communion in the hand was accepted widely in earlier eras of the Church.

The Mass is about Anthropocentrism, not Theocentrism.

“Power of Assimilation” means outside influences shouldn’t influence the Mass’ primary character.

“Anticipation of the Future” means if we change the Mass, we do it so future Catholics find it fulfilling to them and the way they want to worship.
