Question: Examine the formation of the advent season and its theology |
||
| Question Answered by Mr. Jacob Slavek
Dear Denis,
There are many resources in libraries and on the Internet on Advent that are provided by those who are much better historical and theological writers than I am. :-)
I would recommend starting with the Catholic Encyclopedia's page on Advent:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01165a.htm
Thank you!
Mr. Slavek Footer Notes: (a) A Eucharistic Minister is clergy (Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion). Laity are Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion and should never be called Eucharistic Ministers. (b) There is no such Mass called the Novus Ordo. The Current Mass is the Roman Missal of 2000, or the Oridinary Form of the Mass. The Tridentine Mass is the Roman Missal of 1962, or the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. Please refrain from using the term, Novus Ordo. Thanks. (c) The titles of Acolyte and Lector belong exclusively to the Installed Offices of Acolyte and Lector, who are men (only) appointed by the Bishop. These roles performed by others are Altar Servers and Readers, respectively. |
