Liturgy Test 4 — The New Mass & Sacred Music

Give me three of the hours of the Divine Office, and give a few words about the purpose of each.

What is commonly meant by the “Spirit of Vatican II”? What is that “code” for?

What is it that Msgr. Bugnini said that shows us that the NOM has ecumenical intent? (not word for word)

What are the three dogmatic truths of the Mass? Give one example each of how the NOM can undermine it.

“The faithful could get an erroneous idea about when Transubstantiation happens during the NOM, simply because the priest doesn’t genuflect immediately after the words of Institution.” Why is this a true statement? What does it mean?

A liberal Catholic says: “Communion in the Hand is fine because the Pope said it’s OK, and he can’t make errors — and second, because it was done in the early years of the Church!”
Refute his first point. Then refute his second point.

What is the problem with the phrase “The Paschal Mystery”? What new theological principle is wrapped up in this innovative phrase/concept?

Give me three things — there are more than three, but pick three — that differentiate Gregorian Chant from other music, with a few-word explanation of each.

Traditional understanding of Redemption: the Reason is Love, the Motive is Love.

Both Ecumenism and the New Theology influenced the New Mass.

In the new Offertory, the prayer comes from an early Catholic prayer before meals.

In the new Mass, there are no longer any altar linens, compared with the 3 linens in the Old Rite.

In the New Rite priests are no longer mandated to keep their fingers closed after touching the Sacred Host.

In the new Offertory the phrase “work of human hands” has a very Catholic, traditional meaning.

Anyone who lives in a monastery has to say the Divine Office under pain of sin.

A priest has to say the hours of the Divine Office at the proper time.

Instruments during the Mass are allowed as long as the singing has a “principal place.”

We call the musicians the Choir because they used to sit in the Choir, which is in the Sanctuary.

The Divine Office is a room where priests go to pray so they aren’t distracted.
