With these essential writings, discover how the Catholic Church brings Vatican II to the Mass and honors the Sacraments with instructions for every diocese around the globe.

“Among some peoples, singing is instinctively accompanied by hand-clapping, rhythmic swaying and dance movements on the part of the participants. Such forms of external expression can have a place in the liturgical actions of these peoples on condition that they are always the expression of true communal prayer of adoration, praise, offering and supplication, and not simply a performance.” (source)
“a text which is sung is more deeply engraved in the memory than when it is read” (source)
“Adaptations of the Roman rite, even in the field of inculturation, depend completely on the authority of the church” (source)
“Inculturation is not left to the personal initiative of celebrants or to the collective initiative of an assembly” (source)
“ other person, not even if he is a priest, may on his own initiative add, remove or change anything in the liturgy” (source)
