[Catholic Caucus] Francis: The Zairean Rite Is "Promising Model" For Amazon Liturgy

The Libreria Editrice Vaticana published “Papa Francesco e il «Messale Romano per le Diocesi dello Zaire». Un rito promettente per altre culture” (“Pope Francis and the ‘Roman Missal for the Dioceses of Zaire.’ A Promising Rite for Other Cultures”).

Its preface is by Francis. He shows a highly emotional and diffuse understanding of the liturgy, calling it “something that touches the soul, the thought, the sensitivity, the cultural world of people.”

For Francis “the liturgy must touch the hearts” and “be evocative,” a postulate, contrasting with his own dry celebrations.

The Zairean rite represents a promising example and path for the development of an Amazonian-rite liturgy, he wrote.

Zaire is in Africa; the Amazon is in South America. The Atlantic ocean separates the two and the citizens of the two regions do not have a common language.

If the Franics wants a universal Mass, why not the TLM?

...calling it “something that touches the soul, the thought, the sensitivity, the cultural world of people.”

How about the worship of God, Jorge? Not the thought, the sensitivity, the cultural world of the people. That's resorting to the "humanism" you have been promoting.

I yearn for the past when the Mass could only be said in Latin.

Well maybe the Francis will send off his Pachamama from the Amazon to Brazil, in her canoe:
