unusual facts about Roman Missal


Antipope Felix II

As well as the Roman Martyrology, the Roman Missal identified the Saint Felix of 29 July with the antipope.


Common Worship

The wording of the ordinary of the mass was therefore very similar to that of the first English version of the post-Vatican II Roman Missal (used until 2011).

Exsultet

Since the 1955 revision of the Holy Week rites, the Roman Missal explicitly gives the title "Praeconium" to the Exsultet, as it already did implicitly in the formula it provided for blessing the deacon before the chant: "ut digne et competenter annunties suum Paschale praeconium".

Gugliemo Sirleto

He collaborated in the publication of the Roman Catechism, presided over the Commissions for the reform of Roman Breviary and Roman Missal, and directed the work of the new edition of the Roman Martyrology.

Martin Mosebach

The book argues for a return to the Tridentine Rite of the Mass, the form of the Roman Rite before the Second Vatican Council, the use of which, in accordance with the Roman Missal of 1962, is authorized, under certain conditions, by the 2007 motu proprio Summorum Pontificum.
