Plainsong, as venerable a relic of antiquity as any part of the ritual, is composed for the Latin text only, supposes always the Latin syllables and the Latin accent, and becomes a caricature when it is forced into another language with different rules of accent. For instance the Rumanian Church uses liturgically the ordinary language of the country, while Latin is used by the Latin Church for her Liturgy without regard to the mother tongue of the clergy or congregation. A Catholic may be able to receive permission to receive Orthodox sacraments but it is largely irrelevant since the Orthodox will not give sacraments to Catholics. Msgr.

Three points, however, may seem opposed to this and therefore require some explanation: the supplanting of the old Gallican Rite by that of Rome almost throughout the West, the modification of Uniat rites, the suppression of the later medieval rites.

The Episcopal Church in Scotland has a Prayer-book, formed in 1637 and revised in 1764, which is more nearly akin to the first Prayer-book of Edward VI and is decidedly more High-Church in tone.

Much of the old order of the Mass remained, but the Canon disappeared to make way for a new prayer from Lutheran sources. Besides the practical instruction that forms a part of pastoral theology, lectures on liturgical history would form a valuable element of the course of church history.

The Protestant rites are deliberate compositions made by the various Reformers to suit their theological positions, as new services were necessary for their prayer-meetings. The Byzantine Office for St. Peter and St. Paul (June 29) contains plain statements about Roman primacy. The question of a special unified rite for the order received no official attention in the time of St. Dominic, each province sharing in the general liturgical diversities prevalent throughout the Church at the time of the orders confirmation (1216).

When the parent rites were finally written down in the fourth and fifth centuries Eastern liturgical language had slightly changed. The recent launch of a dedicated year for vocations to the Catholic diocesan priesthood is a daring one in these times. Some dioceses (e.g. By changing the language of the Liturgy we should lose the principle of uniformity in the Roman patriarchate. Despite the general prejudice that Uniat rites are mere mutilated hybrids, the strongest impression from the study of them is how little has been changed. Good question, Paul.

In this unjustifiable centralization we have a defiance of the old principle, since Antioch, Jerusalem, Alexandria, Cyprus, in no way belong to the Byzantine Patriarchate. It would be tremendously messy at best. Along the Eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea the Roman Rite has been used in Slavonic (with the Glagolitic letters) since the eleventh century, and the Roman Mass is said in Greek on rare occasions at Rome. The Monophysite Churches have kept the old tongues even when no longer spoken; thus they use Coptic in Egypt, Syriac in Syria, Armenian in Armenia.
