... Masses said according to the GIRM ...

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the GIRM?

[wideawake]

The General Instruction on the Roman Missal. What we used to call the rubrics. It's printed in the front of every altar missal.

It was revised in 2000 to close the loopholes for some abuses - two years later the National Conference of Catholic Bishops has yet to provide an English translation of the Latin original.
