EXTRACTS FROM

THE ANALYTICUS CONSPECTUS AND ACTA ET DOCUMENTA REGARDING THE LECTIONARY Compiled and edited by Matthew P. Hazell

Introduction On June 18, 1959, the President of the Antepreparatory Commission for the Second Vatican Council, Domenico Cardinal Tardini, sent a letter to all Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops (residential and titular), Superiors Generals of clerical religious orders, Apostolic Vicars, and Prelates, asking them to submit their views on the upcoming Council and what, in their opinion, ought to be discussed at it.* The deadline for responses was September 1, 1959, but a follow-up letter was sent on March 21, 1960 to those who had not responded, asking them to do so by the end of April 1960. These responses (known as vota) fill eight volumes of the Acta et Documenta: three volumes are dedicated to the European responses, and one volume each for Asia, Africa, North & Central America, and South America, with the responses of religious Superior Generals given their own volume. These volumes contain over 2,100 vota in total, some which are very terse and say very little, others which are very in-depth and wide-ranging. As this was a huge amout of information, the Antepreparatory Commission organised and distilled the responses into 9,348 brief propositions organised by subject, contained in two more manageable volumes, called the Analyticus conspectus. The first volume contains the vota on doctrine, canon law, clergy discipline, seminaries, and laypeople; the second volume contains those on sacraments, sacred places, the precepts of the Church, divine worship, the magisterium, the temporal goods of the Church, procedures, delicts and penalties, missions, ecumenism, and the charitable and social activity of the Church. Attached to each proposition are the names of each diocese or religious order whose Bishop/Prelate/etc. mentioned something akin to the proposition in their vota, though these footnote lists are often not exhaustive. Sometimes the propositions are direct quotes of Bishops’ vota, and other times they are approximations. Sometimes only one diocese/religious order is cited in the footnotes, and at other times the list is very long.† The following pages contain the 43 propositions specifically on the lectionary‡ from the Analyticus conspectus, vol. II, pp. 264-270, with the relevant portions of those responses cited in the vota and quoted underneath each proposition. Following the propositions are portions of other vota that are not quoted in the Analyticus conspectus, but do mention the lectionary in varying degrees. Any footnotes are my editorial additions, and are explanatory in nature. A set of indices, along with some brief statistics, rounds off this document. I hope that this document is a useful aid to what the Bishops were asking for with regards to the lectionary before the Second Vatican Council, and that it gives part of the historical context for the post-conciliar liturgical reforms that, in my opinion, has been sorely neglected up to the present. M.P.H.

The (Latin) text of the letter can be found in ADA II.1, pp. x-xi.

† For example, the nearly 220 vota referenced under the proposition “Error communismi damnetur” (cf. AC I, 199-200). ‡ Note that other related issues and questions that could be considered alongside the subject of the lectionary (e.g. the use of vernacular languages in the liturgy) are not dealt with here.

Liturgia Missae praesertim dominicalis ita in partibus variabilibus reformetur ut annum liturgicum vere comitetur et statuat ea quae discenda sunt ad vitam spiritualem fidelium. Rev. Paul Achkar, M.S.P., Superior General of the Society of Missionaries of St Paul

ADA II.4, 451-462*

[458] III. Questions Liturgiques 6. Nous souhaitons que les prières et les cérémonies liturgiques, tout en restant le plus possible fidèles à la tradition des Pères, puissent évoluer normalement, comme toute expression de vie, de manière d’être comprises de tous les fidèles et vécues par eux; certains rites ont besoin d’être abrégés et variés; d’autres pourraient être utilement revus quant à l’expression plus exacte des vérités qu’il contiennent. Tous devraient être célébrés dans la langue du peuple. En ce qui concerne les Eglises orientales, cette évolution devrait se faire de manière, cependant, à ne pas accentuer les différences qui nous séparent de nos frères orthodoxes et, si possible, de concert avec eux.

2 Missa catechumenorum reformetur et in illa maior usus fiat Veteris et Novi Testamenti. Gerard Marie Franciscus van Velsen, O.P., Bishop of Kroonstad, South Africa

ADA II.5, 543-544

[544] 15. Quod Liturgia Ecclesiae magis adaptetur mentalitati hodiernae, praesertim: quod lingua vernacula utatur in sacramentorum administratione, praesertim in illis partibus ubi instructio pro fidelibus continetur; quod caeremoniae nimius longae coarctentur; quod Missa catechumenorum mutetur et in illa maior usus fiat Veteris et Novi Testamenti; quod consuetudines locales in liturgia inserantur et quod consuetudines archaicae in liturgia quae hodie a fidelibus non intelliguntur removeantur; quod officium divinum ad novam formam redigatur et quod libellum precum ad instar divini officii pro laicis edatur.

* Reply in French. Achkar is cited in the Analyticus Conspectus, but his reply is a collective one with the following nineteen bishops and prelates: Maximos IV Saigh (Patriarch of Antioch), George Hakim (Bishop of Akka [Melkite], Israel), Isidore Fattal (Archbishop of Alep [Melkite], Syria), Joseph Malouf (Bishop of Baalbek [Melkite], Lebanon), Philippe Nabaa (Archbishop of Beirut & Jbeil [Melkite], Lebanon), Athanase Ach-Chaer (Bishop of Bāniyās [Melkite], Lebanon), Pierre Chami (Archbishop of Bosra e Haūrān [Melkite], Syria), Athanasios Toutoungi (Archbishop of Homs [Melkite], Syria), Mikhayl Assaf (Archbishop of Petra e Filadelfia [Melkite], Jordan), Basile Khoury (Archbishop of Saïdā [Melkite], Lebanon), Agapios Salomon Naoum (Archbishop of Tyr [Melkite], Lebanon), Eftimios Youakim (Bishop of Zahleh e Furzol [Melkite], Lebanon), Antonio Farage (Titular Bishop of Laodicea in Syria [Melkite]), Pierre Kamel Medawar (Titular Bishop of Pelusium dei Greco-Melkiti, Auxiliary Bishop of Antioch [Melkite], Syria), Dionysios Kfoury (Titular Bishop of Tarsus dei Greco-Melkiti [Melkite]), Elias Zoghbi (Titular Archbishop of Nubia, Patriachal Vicar of Egypt & Sudan [Melkite]), Rev.

Formetur Missa catechumenorum ita ut sit partier cultus Deo devotus ac instructio fructuosa plebis christianae. Carl Joseph Leiprecht, Bishop of Rottenburg, Germany

[659] [II. Quoad cultum divinum] 2. Formetur Missa Catechumenorum ita, ut sit pariter cultus Summo Deo devotus ac instructio fructuosa plebis christianae, quia talis instauratio maxime proderit fidelibus inter acatholicos vitam degentibus. 3. Admonuerunt Summi Pontifices a Pio X usque ad Ioannem XXIII sacrificii Missae participationem, quam dixerunt, actuosam.

Ut numerosiorem alliciant plebem et uberiores ferant fructus Hebdomadae sanctae sollemnitates, ulterius abbrevientur ritus sacri, imprimis lectiones in Vigilia Paschali Wilhelm Sedlmeier, Titular Bishop of Aulon & Auxiliary Bishop of Rottenburg, Germany

ADA II.1, 681-685

[684] Quoad celebrationes s. Missae sacrificii placeat nonnulla instaurare secundum historiae liturgicae scientias a theologis noti nominis hisce diebus demonstratas; Missa Catechumenorum, ex. gr., magis dissolvatur ab ipsa S. Eucharistiae celebratione. Liceat repetere votum, quod Rev.mus Dominus Carolus Iosephus Leiprecht, Episcopus Rottenburgensis, hac de re edidit: « Formetur Missa Catechumenorum ita, ut sit pariter cultus Summo Deo devotus ac instructio fructuosa plebis christianae, quia talis instauratio maxime proderit fidelibus inter acatholicos vitam degentibus.

Johannes Baptist Neuhäusler, Titular Bishop of Calydon & Auxiliary Bishop of Munich, Germany

ADA II.1, 690-709

[696] In ea saltem Eucharistiae celebratione, quam parochus aliusve pastor peragit die Dominica vel festis cum grege sibi commisso, Missa catechumenorum, quae dicitur cum Orationibus et annuntiatione verbi divini ab ipsa celebratione mysterii sive eucharistiae ipsius clare distinguatur. Sacerdos celebrans missam similiter ac in Missa Pontificali sollemni et in Vesperis psalmo 42 recitato et Confessione cum ministris facta ad sedilia accedat, ubi Orationes dicat et Hymnum Angelicum et Symbolum intonet, si opus est. Ex ambone vero vel e cancellis legat (si lector desit) Epistolam, deinde (deficiente diacono) annuntiet Evangelium. Ne prius quam ad oblationem accedat ad mensam altaris. Haec distinctio maxime perspicua inter duas partes missae facienda christifidelibus, qui assistunt, intellectum actionum faciliorem reddet. […] [698] Enixe precamur, ut Ordo pericoparum sive textuum e Sacra Scriptura in Missa annuntiandorum amplificetur. Imprimis Pericopae ex Epistulis Sancti Pauli Apostoli diebus Dominicis pronuntiandae populo vere difficiles sunt intellectu et interpretatu. Ordo pericoparum triennio repetendarum in Missali sive Lectionario peculiari edi expediet, ut divitiae veritatis in Sacra Scriptura revelatae magis quam adhuc populo suppeditent. Forsitan bonitas orationis sacrae sive artis homileticae hoc delectu textuum multum adiuvari possit.

4 Missae Catechumenorum restituatur function catechetica. Corrado Bafile, Titular Bishop of Antioch in Pisidia & Apostolic Nuncio to Germany

ADA II.1, 679-681*

[679] In questa situazione è necessario che vengano valorizzate in pieno alcune risorse dell’apostolato catechetico, che non lo sono sufficientemente, e segnatamente: a) il tesoro del Vangelo con la sua divina forza d’attrazione; b) la presenza in Chiesa di imponenti masse di fedeli per l’assistenza alla S. Messa nelle domeniche e feste di precetto. Ad a): Attualmente l’impiego del Santo Vangelo è ben lungi dall’esser pieno. Nelle domeniche e feste di precetto si leggono e si commentano complessivamente una sessantina di brani, che si ripetono tutti gli anni, per cui finiscono per avere una presa attenuata sugli ascoltatori. Al contrario altri brani, fra i più belli ed efficaci, non capitano mai nei giorni di precetto. Eppure il popolo cristiano è avido di Vangelo. Occorrerebbe quindi stabilire più cicli annuali di lezioni scritturali, in maniera da valorizzare sostanzialmente tutto il Vangelo. Si ha, per alro, l’impressione che la Sacra Congregazione dei Riti sia già entrata in questo ordine di idee. Ad b): Occorrerebbe trarre maggior profitto dalla assistenza dei fedeli alla S. Messa nei giorni di precetto. E, siccome l’uso della predicazione simultanea allo svolgimento della Liturgia della Messa è troppo stridente con lo spirito liturgico, che si fa sempre più vivo nel popolo fedele, si pensa che la soluzione migliore del problema sia quello di [680] ricondurre la Messa dei Catecumeni alla sua originate funzione di Catechesi.

5 Lectionarii reformentur. Giacomo Cardinal Lercaro, Archbishop of Bologna, Italy [117]

ADA II.3, 114-118

E) Reformatio liturgica, iam a Pio Papa XII valide promota, prosequenda videtur et complenda; iisdem pastoralibus praeoccupationibus ducta simulque solidis innixa historicis studiis. In particulari: a) Lectionarii tum Missalis quam Breviarii reformation urgeatur, ut Sacrarum Scripturarum frequens ac utilis lectio praebeatur tum clericis, tum fidelibus. […] Augusto Gianfranceschi, Bishop of Cesena, Italy

ADA II.3, 188-204*

[198] Can. 803. – […] La Messa dei catecumeni diventi veramente didattica: in essa si faccia lettura seguita del nuovo Testamento, una pericope degli Atti, o Epistole, o [199] Apocalisse, o un’altra dei Vangeli, riservando alle domeniche « per annum » i passi più espressivi per la vita cristiana. Giovanni Cardinal Urbani, Patriarch of Venice, Italy

ADA II.3, 719-722

[[Contrary to the citation in the Analyticus Conspectus, I can find nothing particularly relevant in this vota—the Cardinal asks for revisenda ac ad simpliciorem formam redigenda of the Ritual, Missal and Breviary (along with the Pontifical and Ceremonial of Bishops: cf. p. 722) but not specifically the lectionary. –MPH]]

6 Reformatio Missalis ita fiat, ut varietas sit in lectionibus Epistolarum et praesertim Evangeliorum. Louis-Marie-Fernand de Bazelaire de Ruppierre, Archbishop of Chambéry, France

ADA II.1, 266-271

[270] In Missali reformando, praecipue providendum ut pericopae pro « epistola » et « evangelio » sedulo deligantur, secundum antiquam traditionem et ad maiorem populi aedificationem, et ut aliquae missae preces et caerimoniae ad simplicem et authenticam formam redigantur.

[662] B) Liturgia: Reformatio Breviarii, Missalis et Pontificalis Romani necnon Caeremonialis Episcoporum. In specie: augmentatio Praefationum, v. g. pro tempore Adventus, pro Dominicis post Pentecosten, pro Communibus Sanctorum; usus linguae vernaculae in Missa ante Offertorium, praesertim in lectione Epistolae et Evangelii; nova selectio pericoparum; abbreviatio ritus dedicationis ecclesiae et consecrationis altaris. Josef Stangl, Bishop of Würzburg, Germany

Franz Cardinal König, Archbishop of Vienna, Austria† [78]

ADA II.1, 75-85

Sacrae Scripturae capita in Missali singulis anni dominicis attributa aliis pericopis ita amplificentur, ut eadem non quotannis, sed longiore spatio relegantur explicenturque. Segundo Garcia de Sierra y Méndez, Bishop of Barbastro, Spain

ADA II.2, 142-145

[144] XIX. Ut lingua vernacula adhiberi possit in administrandis Sacramentis, [145] saltem in precibus praeparatoriis et formulam sacramentalem insequentibus. Idemque in Epistulae et Evangelii lectione et in propriis diei orationibus collectis. Pericopae, quae in Epistula et Evangelio leguntur, forsitan plures essent oporteret, quo fideles sacram Scripturam aptius meliusque cognoscerent.

* The precursor organisation to the German Bishops’ Conference, the Fulda Conference was established in 1867. In 1966, it was renamed as the German Bishops’ Conference (Ger. Deutsche Bischofskonferenz) and given new statutes following the Second Vatican Council’s decree Christus Dominus (1965). At the time, the following twentythree bishops were part of the Fulda Conference (cf. ADA Indices, 227-230): Johannes Pohlschneider (Bishop of Aachen), Josef Freundorfer (Bishop of Augsburg), Josef Schneider (Bishop of Bamberg), Julius Cardinal Döpfner (Bishop of Berlin), Joseph Schröffer (Bishop of Eichstätt), Franz Hengsbach (Bishop of Essen), Hermann Josef Schäufele (Archbishop of Freiburg im Briesgau), Adolf Bolte (Bishop of Fulda), Heinrich Maria Janssen (Bishop of Hildesheim), Josef Cardinal Frings (Archbishop of Köln), Wilhelm Kempf (Bishop of Limburg), Albert Stohr (Bishop of Mainz), Otto Spülbeck, C.O. (Bishop of Meißen), Joseph Cardinal Wendel (Archbishop of Munich & Freising), Michael Keller (Bishop of Münster), Helmut Hermann Wittler (Bishop of Osnabrück), Lorenz Jäger (Archbishop of Paderborn), Simon Konrad Landersdorfer, O.S.B. (Bishop of Passau), Michael Buchberger (Bishop of Regensburg), Carl Joseph Leiprecht (Bishop of Rottenburg), Isidor Markus Emanuel (Bishop of Speyer), Matthais Wehr (Bishop of Trier), and Josef Stangl (Bishop of Würzberg). The Polish dioceses of Wrocław and Warmia were sede vacante, and had been since 1945 and 1947 respectively; during the antepreparatory period of the Council, both were still technically part of the Fulda Conference, as the organisation of dioceses had yet to catch up with the relatively new post-World War II national borders.

The following Austrian bishops also signed Cardinal König’s vota: Josef Schoiswohl (Bishop of Seckau); Franz Jáchym (Titular Archbishop of Maronea & Coadjutor Bishop of Vienna); Joseph Streidt (Titular Bishop of Macri & Auxiliary Bishop of Vienna); Franz Sales Zauner (Bishop of Linz); Michael Memelauer (Bishop of Sankt Polten); Stefan László (Titular Bishop of Metellopolis & Apostolic Administrator of Burgenland). †

IV. Liturgia 1. Lingua vernacula adhibeatur: pro Epistula et Evangelio in Missis cum assistentia fidelium celebratis, in administrandis sacramentis et sacramentalibus. 2. Cyclus pericoparum per plures annos distribuatur. Léon Lommel, Bishop of Luxembourg

ADA II.2, 565-568

[567] IV. De re liturgica et de pietate 9. Prosequenda est restuaratio liturgica ab ultimis Romanis Pontificibus feliciter inchoata et quidem secundum sana principia organica, ita ut sacrum Missae sacrificium, instructione et communione fidelium integrum, in medium ponatur ante omnes alias legitimas formas pietatis vel devotionis. Itaque in divino sacrificio renovando omnes (sacerdotes, chorus cantorum, fideles) suam partem agant quin alter alterius partem assumat, nisi in casu verae necessitatis: […] Excerpta ex libris Veteris et Novi Testamenti fidelibus legenda ita seligantur ut melius adiunctis hodiernis ac menti captionique fidelium adaptentur.

II. De usu linguae vernaculae in missa catechumenorum et de reformatione pericoparum sacrae scripturae missarum dominicalium in missali romano Expetitur ad fovendam participationem fidelium quod in missa catechumenorum vernacula lingua uti liceat. Item quod pericopae sacrae scripturae in missis dominicalibus legendae cuidam recognitioni subiiciantur. Optatur vero quod in hac revisione textus lectionum sacrae scripturae ita multiplicentur ut celebrans unum alterumve legere possit quando in hebdomada officium dominicale resumit. In hac optione textuum seligantur pericopae ditiores et populo magis intelligibiliores. Antoni Pawłowski, Bishop of Włocławek, Poland

[250] 6. Aliqui opinantur multas Missas in Romano Missali epistola vel evangelio apto carere. Alii spirant epistolas ac evangelia durante quadragesimae tempore abbreviari ita ut operarii sine incommode missam horis matutinis attendere possint. Propter longas epistolas vel evangelia isti nunc ante finam Missae abire compelluntur eo quod in officio vel officinal tempore fixo adesse debent. [251] 14. Desiderabile videtur ut diebus dominicis e pluribus epistolis ac evangeliis sacerdotes eligere permittantur vel ut cyclus eorum per tres annos componatur ita ut unoquoque anno non semper eadem epistola ac idem evangelium diebus dominicis legantur.

[766] 6. In emendando Missali, iam in actu, mihi videtur utillimum fore pro christiana fidelium instructione ut fiat nova selectio locorum Evangeliorum magis apta ad catechesim. Scimus enim praesentem structuram Missalis pendere historice ab antiquis Stationibus quae determinatis festis fiebant, Evangelium ac Epistulam selecta esse pro opportunitate illius ecclesiae in qua Statio fiebat. Cum hodie fideles fere omnes, maximo cum nostro dolore, diem festum sanctificent solum S. Missam audiendo et laborant magna ignorantia in re religiosa, optimum esset si in ipsa Missa catechesi catholica imbuerentur per explanationem loci Sancti Evangelii ad hunc finem selecti. Simul cum reformatione Evangeliorum optimum esset si etiam Epistulae vel Lectiones Missarum seligerentur ad eumdem finem: omnibus notum est qui thesauri in SS. Scripturis contineantur.

Sacrificii Missae aliquot modo fidelium captui adaptetur…

5. Quoad S. Missae Sacrificium: […] b) Lectiones Epistolae et S. Evangelii, praesertim in festis Sanctorum maiori varietate, ex diversis S. Scripturae libris, enixe sumantur, ita tame nut fideles S. Sacrificio participantes, aliquam saltem de unoquoque S. Scripturae libro partem, noscere et meditare valeant. c) S. Evangelium et Epistola semel legatur, lingua vernacula, ad fideles, si adsint, versus.

ADA II.4, 271-278

[274] IV. SACRA LITURGIA 1. Sacramenta […] c) Celebratio Missae. Usus linguae vernaculae saltem pro partibus directe fidelibus destinatis concedatur (e. g. lectiones, cantus, preces communes etc.). Magna commutation efficiatur in Pericopis in diebus Dominicis: [275] 1) augmentando: numerous pericoparum dominicalium a Sacra Scriptura desumptarum augeatur, quatenus cyclo e. g. quattuor annorum thesaurus Sacrae Scripturae fidelibus magis aperiatur; 2) eliminando locos longiores et difficiliores e. g. epistolam Sexagesimae et Dominicae IV Quadragesimae.

ADA II.1, 629-633

[631] Munus praedicationis urgeatur. Fontem primarium veritatis catholicae esse S. Scripturam, solemniter affirmetur, Traditionem vero non esse creatricem revelationis, sed fontem, qua revelata nobis patescunt. Maximi momenti mihi videtur diremptio controversiae exortae de relatione inter traditionem et S. Scripturam tamquam fontes revelationis. Idem mihi valere videtur de applicatione dogmatis de inspiratione ad methodum sic dictam « formgeschichtliche Methode », respective de compatibilitate huiusce methodi cum dogmate inspirationis. Cum perperam saepe dicatur, Ecclesiam catholicam esse Ecclesiam sacramentorum, non vero Verbi divini, affirmetur oportet, Verbum Dei esse vivum et efficax (cf. Hebr., 4, 2), ideoque lectionem Verbi divini in cultu (statim lingua vulgari) peractam, in homilia ac catechesi explicatam et etiam singulis—eo sensu, quern tenuit et tenet sancta mater Ecclesia—commendatam, esse maxime salutarem.

Problème: on constate: — Un fossé grave entre la Messe d’un part et la “vie concrète” des fidèles, d’autre part, la Messe est un “à côté” alors que c’est en elle que devrait se faire l’unité de toute la vie. — Une incompréhension de la Messe-sacrifice: c’est presque une impossibilité psychologique pour l’ensemble des chrétiens de réaliser que la Messe est leur sacrifice, tan test abstraite cette cérémonie! 1) Emploi de la langue vivante pout toutes les prières de la Messe sauf le Canon. 2) Rendre obligatoire la participation active des fidèles: à toutes les prières pouvant être dialoguées; au geste de l’offertoire: un geste réel (quoique pouvant être symbolique). 3) Laisser un certain choix de lectures saintes (épitre et Evangile) à y faire, en réponse aux besoins des fidèles, des lieux, des circonstances.

Fideles active participes Sacrificii Missae fiant. Ratio: Longiores epistolae et evangelia fervori nec sacerdotis nec Christifidelium favent.

ADA II.5, 20-25

Episcopus Arcis-Lamy desiderat aliquas mutationes fieri in lectionibus sive Evangelii, sive Epistolarum, in Missis diebus Dominicis. Nonnula loca Sancti Evangelii manent minus nota a fidelibus, quia numquam leguntur in Missis dominicis, v. g. Evangelia de Nicodemo, de muliere Samaritana, narrationem Resurrectionis Domini et apparitionum in pago Emmaus et in Galilea post resurrectionem… quae lectiones opportune recitari possent loco evangeliorum difficiliorum vel minus aptorum dierum dominicarum post Pascham. Insuper, cornu Epistolae, raro legitur in Missa dominica Vetus Testamentum. Nonnullae epistolae sancti Pauli, plenae sensu spirituali ac theologico, videntur inaequales intellectui populi. Fortasse melius esset praebere populo aliquot narrationes e Veteri Testamento excerptas, v. g. duplicem narrationem

creationis, peccati originalis, momenta praecipua Primi Testamenti, ut vocationem Abrahae, sominum Iacobi, nativitatem [22] Moysis, arbustum ardentum, transitum maris rubri, res propheticas itineris in deserto, mannam, aquam salientem e rupe, theophaniam in monte Sinai, Decologum, orationem Moysis (Ex. XXXII, 7-14), vocationem Samuelis, Unctionem David; quaedam loca ex libris prophetarum desumpta, ut theophaniam Isaiae, Canticum Vineae, visionem Ezechielis: aliis verbis, loca biblica quae successive lecta, ut in Breviario, ennarrent quasi per summitatem Historiam Salutis.

ADA II.6, 382-391

[386] Forte considerationem meretur ordinarium Epistolarum et Evangeliorum quae disbus Dominicis praesertim post Epiphaniam et Pentecosten leguntur, ita ut populus magis fruatur lectionibus quae in Sacra Scriptura continetur. Provideri possunt per additionem aliarum partium Revelationis multa themata quae hodie a plurimus fidelibus ignorantur. Ista ordinario certo requiret distributionem Epistolarum et Evangeliorum per spatium duorum vel etiam trium annorum. Talis distributio providebit abundantiam materiarum utilium pro sacerdotibus ad privatam meditationem et ad exercendum officium praedicandi.

[105] De S. Missae Sacrificio. […] Praeterea ut Christifideles totum Evangelium cognoscant, in Catechumenorum Missis Liber Sanctus continenter legatur, ut primis saeculis maiores nostril faciebant, nec solum eosdem locos quos nunc in Missale habemus. Francesco Marchesani, Bishop of Chiavari, Italy

ADA II.3, 204-207

[205] Quoniam maxima pars Christifidelium, praesertim in paroeciis urbanis, ordinarium praedicationem parum frequentant, sed ad Missam festivam numerosi conveniunt, optandum videtur ut in reformatione textus variabilis Missalis Romani, pro diebus festis, ponatur lectio evangelica ex factis, miraculis et parabolis Christi quae aptari possit ad instructionem catecheticam populi christiani. Roberto Massimiliani, Bishop of Civita Castellana, Orte e Gallese, Italy

ADA II.3, 217-221

[220] CIRCA POPULI DISCIPLINAM […] e) Liturgia sit denuo magistra populi christiani: in Missa leguntur, lingua vulgari, partes S. Scripturae multo maiores numero quam hodie: item scripta Patrum, Scriptor. Eccl., Summ. Pont. Hoc fieri posse cyclus periodibus trium vel quatuor annorum, ita ut tota doctrina Ecclesiae eo modo et medio exponatur: haec est solutio catechism ad adultos et usus Ecclesiae talis fuit plus quam mille annis.

The bishop attached the suggestions of his diocesan study commission to his own vota, from which the following extract is taken. The study commission was comprised of the following clergy: Can. Luigi Stella (president), Sac. Angelo Fasolio, Don Guglielmo Visenti, Sac. Renno Monticone, as well as the bishop himself (cf. ADA II.3, 84). †

[255] 6. Item optandae ut s. Evangelii particulae, dominicis diebus in Missae celebratione legendae, rectius seligantur et disponantur, ita ut per plures annos distributae evangelicae lectiones commodius serviant christianae doctrinae ex ordine illustrandae pro iis praesertim qui nullam praeter Missae auditionem servant religiosam observantiam, nullaque alia ratione instrui et efformari valent. Natale Mosconi, Archbishop of Ferrara, Italy

ADA II.3, 261-263

[263] De Sacris Ritibus […] 6. Ut in Missali, praesertim quoad Sacrum die festo litandum, S. Scripturae loci revisantur, ut praestantius ac plenius fideles imbuantur. Paolo Rota, Bishop of Fidenza, Italy

ADA II.3, 263-268

[266] [DE RE LITURGICA] 10. In Missae sacrificio quaedam Epistolarum lectiones et Evangelii substituantur pro aliis V. et N. T. lectionibus ad intelligentiam, commentaria et applicationes magis accomodatis, quaeque numquam leguntur nisi in temporibus quadragesimalis Missis, insuper legantur lingua vernacula. Elia Cardinal dalla Costa, Archbishop of Florence, Italy *

ADA II.3, 272-286

[277] V. IN RE LITURGICA […] 5. Circa emendationem Missalis Romani, accedendum nobis videtur ad vota duorum Conventuum Internationalium, idest I ac II Conventus Internationalis Studiorum Liturgicorum apud Maria Laach et S. Odiliam anni 1951 et 1952 habitorum (cf. Partecipazione attiva alla Liturgia, Atti del III Convegno Internazionale di Studi liturgici, Lugano-Como, 1953, pp. 239-245). 6. Latina lingua, cum emineat antiquitate, nobilitate ac mirabili indole synthetica polleat et hucusque efficax unitatis ecclesiasticae instrumentum et signum extiterit, videtur omnino servanda in Missa, nisi forte excipiantur Lectionarium et Evangeliarium. Ad hoc in Missali Romano textus « bilinguis » exoptatur. Pacifico Maria Luigi Perantoni, O.F.M., Bishop of Gerace-Locri, Italy

[368] Aliqui loci Sacrarum Litterarum in Missa, bene selecti, ut in lingua maternal clara voce fidelibus legantur. Ilario Roatta, Bishop of Norcia, Italy

ADA II.3, 443-445

[444] IV. De divino Cultu exercendo […] In S. Liturgia, praesertim in Missa, amplius adhiberi debet S. Scriptura; praeterea necessarium est modum invenire ut sensus sacrae lectionis et orationis, quae Sacerdos nomine et ad instructionem fidelium legit, patefiat. Urget autem in S. Liturgia novas recipere expressionis formas, aetatis nostrae progressioni et in mundo Ecclesiae propagationi aptas.

[623] IV. De re liturgica […] C) Quibus omnibus cordi est spiritum colere, in re liturgica feliciter instauratum a Pontifice Pio XII, imm. et ven. memoriae, certo rarefaciendae videntur quaedam partes liturgicae ut Epistulae Sabbatorum Quattuor Temporum, quaedam vero removendae ut Epistula castae Susannae et contra in usum inducendi qui Evangelii loci habitualiter huc usque praetermissi sunt, neque dedecere videtur suppression Psalmi 42 « Iudica me, Deus … » in Missae initio et Evangelii S. Ioannis in fine. Heinrich Forer, Titular Bishop of Memphis, Auxiliary Bishop of Trento, Italy

ADA II.3, 877-879

[878] 4. Pericopae Evangeliorum, proh dolor, nimis usitatae iam difficultatem explicationis secum ferunt, nisi maiori variatate amplificentur, ita ut cyclo 3-5 annorum totum fere Evangelium proponatur populo. Quod quidem certe compaginem antiquam et venerabilem Missalis turbare poterit, sed sicut tunc illae pericopae vel lectio Evangelii pro aedificatione fidelium exortae sunt, etiam nunc foecunditas Ecclesiae amplificationem salutarem admittere possit. Ferdinando Guercilena, P.I.M.E., Bishop of Kengtung, Myanmar [20]

ADA II.4, 19-21

Inter cultores S. Liturgiae nunc agitur de convenientia disponendi in Missali largiorem numerum pericopum S. Scripturae; cursus cyclicus trium annorum supplere potest cum iucunda varietate ampliorem notitiam utriusque Testamenti et, rebus opportune dispositis, possibilitatem profundius exponere catecheticam instructionem praebere potest. Quae omnia consideratione digna existimo. Alfredo Lanfranconi, P.I.M.E., Bishop of Toungoo, Myanmar

[26]

ADA II.4, 26-28

3. Ut itidem recognoscatur Missale Romanum, saltem quoad pericopes Evangeliorum dominicalium. Sive copiosior material ex Evangeliis seligatur, distribuenda in quatuor annos, prout pluribus liturgiae cultoribus placet, sive (ut potius mihi arridet) una tantum series locorum pro unius anni dominicis, prout nunc extat, intacta maneat, opt out aliqui loci sufficiantur aliis ex Evangelio locis facilioribus, vel pulchrioribus, vel demum aptioribus ad hoc ut parochi ex eis depromere valeant homilias magis consentaneas huic nostrae aetatis menti, v. g. de conversione mulieris peccatricis, de parabola filii prodigi, de parabola Divitis et Lazari, etc. Pericopes minus aptae mihi videntur illae quae assignantur dominicae 4 post Pascha, et dominicis 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, post Pentecosten. Peter Arikata Kobayashi, Bishop of Sendai, Japan

[105] III. Circa Liturgiam Sacram […] 3. Melior selectio fiat ex libris sacris pro Epistolis et Evangeliis anni liturgici. Nicolas Martinus Schneiders, C.I.C.M., Titular Bishop of Cos, Vicar Apostolic of Makassar, Indonesia

ADA II.4, 237-239

[238] 2. Quoad Liturgicum […] Altera ex parte cum gratitudine accepimus, quae ultimis hisce temporibus a Curia Romana renovata sunt tum quoad Breviarium tum quoad Missale Romanum. Speramus fore ut ulteriores emendations tum in Breviario — lectiones — tum in Missali — epistolae et evangelia — in praxim deducantur quam primum. Jan Antonius Klooster, C.M., Titular Bishop of Germanicopolis, Vicar Apostolic of Surabaia, Indonesia

ADA II.4, 257-259

[258] 2. Pericopae in diebus Dominicis. Magna commutatio efficiatur in Pericopis: a) augmentando, e.g. parabolam filii prodigi; locos faciles orationis Domini nostril ante eius passionem (Io. XVII); parabolem vitis (Io. XV). b) eliminando generatim locos longiores ac difficiles, e. g. epistolam Sexagesimae et Dominicae IV in Quadragesima. Luis Valdesco del Rosario, S.J., Archbishop of Zamboanga, Philippines

ADA II.4, 305-307

[306] De reformatione Missalis et Pontificalis Romani. In Missali Romano [307] breviori forma redigendae sunt Missae dicendae in Feriis Quartis et Sabbatis Temporum, in Feria Quarta post Dominicam IV Quadragesimae, necnon in Feria Quarta Maior Hebdomadae. Supprimantur oportet orationes pro Imperatore, additis earum loco orationibus pro res publicas moderantibus, ut in Ordine Hebdomadae Sanctae instauration factum est. Giuseppe Obert, P.I.M.E., Bishop of Dinajpur, Pakistan*

ADA II.4, 425-426†

[426] 2. Riforma liturgica: […] d) Riforma del Messale, specialmente in riguardo ai Vangeli domenicali che gradatamente, durante l’Anno liturgico, rispecchino tutta la vita e dottrina di Cristo. Dante Battaglierin, S.X., Bishop of Khulna, Pakistan*

ADA II.4, 429-430

[430] 4. Evangelia (et epistolae) dominicarum magis varia et selecta sint ita ut quotannis vel melius singulis trienniis principaliora dogmatis et moralis puncta ordinatim enucleare fas sit. Leopold Brellinger, S.J., Bishop of Jingxian, China

ADA II.4, 515-516

[515] 2. Missale Romanum, quoad lectiones Epistolae et Evangelii dierum dominicalium, modificetur. Quaedam enim Epistolae intellectu difficiliores sunt, Epistolae et Evangelium plerumque nullam connexionem inter se habent, nulla cohaesio systematica inter Evangelia dominicalia anni liturgici apparet. Quaedam Missae partes, maxime Epistola et Evangelium, in Missa publica lingua vernacula legantur. Lector illam partem legat, Celebrans auscultet sicut « Ordo Hebdomadae Sanctae Instauratus » in pluribus locis iam habet. Rev Pietro Moretti, O.F.M., Apostolic Prefect of Tongzhou, China

ADA II.4, 602-604

[603] 7. Evangelii loci Sacro diebus dominicis assignati et renoventur et alternis vicibus assignentur in anno liturgico.

[633] Ad Sacram Congregationem Rituum […] 3. In omnibus Missis IV Temporum, in Ecclesiis ubi non celebrantur neque Baptismi Catechumenorum neque Ordinationes, Lectiones supprimantur aut saltem facultativae sint. Simon Hoa Nguyên-van-Hien, Titular Bishop of Sagalassus, Vicar Apostolic of Saigon, Vietnam

ADA II.4, 646-648

[647] Circa Sacram Liturgiam Ut Liturgia sacra sit Gratiarum action (adoratio) et catechesis, optandum est ut lectiones desumantur e Sacra Scriptura quibus illustrentur Mysteria, eligantur Psalmi magis respondentes sensui Mysterii; ut actus liturgici apti sint ad excitandos sensus familialis admirationis, gratitudinis, amoris, etc. Raymond-Marie-Joseph de La Moureyre, C.S.Sp., Bishop of Mouila, Gabon [29]

21. Ut “Temporale” et “Sanctorale” ut aiunt, e Sacris Libris semper maiora desumant: sic plurimam diversitatem obtinebunt ad imaginem v. g. liturgiae temporis quadregesimalis. André-Joseph-Prosper Dupont, M. Afr., Bishop of Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso

Ensuite que le Propre des Messes Dominicales apporte au fidèle l’essentiel d’un thème biblique avec possibilité de pouvoir au cours de l’année, présenter auc fidèles tous ceux qui sont accessibles à la masse. Et cela en langage clair, à la portée des masses populaires sans que le texte [45] lui-même ait besoin d’une sorte de traduction en un langage plus clair comme si le texte lui-même ne pouvait pas déjà comporter cette clairté.

[III. De liturgia pastorali] 56. Quoad celebrationem Missae: a) ad fideles constantur docendos et praeparandos ut Liturgiae active participent, et etiam ad illuminandos acatholicos qui Missae adsunt, magis viva Liturgia Verbi in prima parte Missae (Catehecumenorum) reddatur; ad id ipsum: 1) ut in Liturgia Verbi usus exclusivus fidelium linguae permittatur, 2) in Missa lecta, ab initio usque ad Credo, 3) in Missa in cantu, pro orationibus et pericopis i. e. lectionibus quando adsunt et epistola, 4) ut Celebrans in Lectionario probate a Sede Apostolica, textus magis diversos et aptatos eligere possit.

Ad fidelium scientiam de Verbo Dei magis locupletandam, Epistolae et Evangelia dominicarum de tempore, tam in Missis quam coram populo lingua vulgari ad legendum adhibita, possint multiplicari, seligendo e Scripturis Sacris alias partes idoneas, easque ita disponendo ut habeatur secunda, vel etiam tertia, series Epistolarum et Evangeliorum, quae per vices annuales cum vigentibus partibus ad hoc usum adhiberi possint.

Parochi et omnes, qui animarum curam habent, diebus dominicis omnibus ceterisque per annum festis de praecepto intra omnes Missas sub gravi praedicare requirantur.

5. Ut fidelibus detur occasio audiendi in Missis Dominicalibus maiorem numerum lectionum ex Epistolis et Evangeliis, ita ut magis cognoscant et aestiment abundantiam locorum qui nunc omittuntur inter dies Dominicas per annum, summa cum reverentia proponitur ut augeatur numerus Epistolarum et Evangeliorum post Epiphaniam et Pentecosten, ita ut infra biennium compleatur lectio omnium locorum. Sic saltem duplicaretur numerous lectionum nunc vigens. Germiniano Esorto, Archbishop of Bahia Blanca, Argentina

ADA II.7, 383-387

[385] II. votum Praemissa: Causa ignorantiae in rebus religiosis, his in terries est multiplex. Praeter alia argumenta haec adducimus: a) Sacra Biblia nostris catholicis liber ignotus est: nec tenent librum nec legunt nec audiunt lectiones. Sed protestantes “evangelici” ample diffundunt libros S. Bibliae inter omnes populi gentes.

The following four bishops replied along with Cardinal de Vasconcellos Motta: Antônio Maria Alves de Siqueira (Titular Bishop of Chalcis in Syria, Coadjutor Archbishop of São Paulo, Brazil), Paulo Rolim Loureiro (Titular Bishop of Bria, Auxiliary Bishop of São Paulo, Brazil), Antônio Ferreira de Macedo, C.SS.R. (Titular Bishop of Attuda, Auxiliary Bishop of São Paulo, Brazil), Vicente Angelo José Marchetti Zioni (Titular Bishop of Lauzadus, Auxiliary Bishop of São Paulo, Brazil). *

b) In Missis nostris fideles praeter paucas pericopas Evangeliorum et homilias de iisdem nihil audiunt e S. Scriptura. Sic fit, ut Missa Catechumenorum, quae ad fidelium instructionem et orationem instituta antiquitus es, nihil fere aut parem ad tollendam ignorantiam confert. Conclusio: Peto humiliter Patres Concilii future ut videant: a) Quomodo Missa Catechumenorum meliori fidelium institutioni inserviat (lingua vulgari in lectionibus et orationibus et psalmis, si populus adest). b) Quomodo maiore varietate pericoparum cognitio Verbi Dei augeatur. Nam tam in Vetere quam in Novo Testamento haeretici confundunt ignorantiam multorum catholicorum. c) Quomodo editiones integrae S. Bibliae a protestantibus late divulgatae cum texto authentic plene concordantes nostris catholicis permittantur. Mihi videtur haec res magnae utilitatis, dummodo de authenticitate constet ad normam can. 1385. [386] Rationes: 1) Hae conclusiones videntur traditioni pristinae Ecclesiae plane consentaneae. 2) Novis modis vetera colentes melius fundamentum unionis cum haereticis ad catholicam fidem regredientibus paramus. 3) Ampla diffusione Bibliarum optime editarum utimur ad “captivam ducendam capivitatem” haereticorum in sinum Ecclesiae remigrantium, atque ad nostros melius instituendos in rebus S. Scripturae. Rev. Nevin William Hayes, O. Carm., Prelate of Sicuani, Peru

[659] Du Missel Romain 1. Que soient achevées brièvement la simplification, la transformation des textes du Missel Romain pour l’Eglise Universelle; — que pour les pays et les époques de l’année où une leçon de la Messe vienne à contre temps ou soit mal comprise, le Missel propose d’autres textes ad libitum; mais que l’initiative du choix des épîtres ou des évangiles ne soit pas laissée à la discrétion de l’officiant lui-même. 2. Que l’on propose des introits en langue vulgaire ou en latin qui puissent se chanter pendant une période assez longue des différents cycles liturgiques; — ceci pour éviter que des gens peu habitués au chant grégorian aient à apprendre une messe propre différente chaque semaine.
