Question Answered by Mr. Jacob Slavek
Dear Rev. Mr. Lottier, Well for starters I would spell it correctly. :-) It is "Ecclesiae de Mysterio", not "Ecclesaie". Could be why you had trouble finding it. It is in our library here at http://www.saint-mike.org/library/Curial_Docs/Lay_and_Priest_roles.html under its English name, ON CERTAIN QUESTIONS REGARDING Please let me know if I can be of any further help, 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. |
