Oct 27, 2023 · For centuries, the liturgy was conducted exclusively in this ancient language, which was largely unknown to the average worshipper. This linguistic barrier, coupled with changing societal norms, hampered the full engagement of the faithful in the sacred ritual. The Vernacular Revolution.
1069 The word "liturgy" originally meant a "public work" or a "service in the name of/on behalf of the people." In Christian tradition it means the participation of the People of God in "the...

At the outset of this discussion we are confronted by three of the most difficult questions of Christianarchaeology, namely: From what date was there a fixed and regulated service such as we can describe as a formal Liturgy? How far was this service uniform in various Churches? How far are we able to reconstruct its forms and arrangement? With rega...
For the first period we have of course no complete description. We must reconstruct what we can from the allusions to the Holy Eucharist in the Apostolic Fathers and apologists. Justin Martyr alone gives us a fairly complete outline of the rite that he knew. The Eucharist described in the “Teaching of the Twelve Apostles” (most authorities now put ...
From about the fourth century our knowledge of the Liturgy increases enormously. We are no longer dependent on casual references to it: we have definite rites fully developed. The more or less uniform type of Liturgy used everywhere before crystallized into four parent rites from which all others are derived. The four are the old Liturgies of Antio...
From these four types—of Antioch, Alexandria, Rome, and the so-called Gallican Rite—all liturgies still used are derived. This does not mean that the actual liturgies we still have under those names are the parents; once more we must conceive the sources as vaguer, they are rather types subject always to local modification, but represented to us no...
We have now arrived at the present state of things. It remains to say a word about the various medieval uses the nature of which has often been misunderstood. Everyone has heard of the old English uses—Sarum, Ebor, etc. People have sometimes tried to set them up in opposition to what they call the “modern “Roman Rite, as witnesses that in some way ...
We are now able to draw up a table of all the real liturgies used throughout the Christian world. The various Protestant Prayer-books, Agendae, Communion-services, and so on, have of course no place in this scheme, because they all break away altogether from the continuity of liturgical development; they are merely compilations of random selections...
Catholic Church. Catholic liturgy means the whole complex of official liturgical worship, including all the rites, ceremonies, prayers, and sacraments of the Church, as opposed to private devotions. In this sense the arrangement of all these services in certain set forms (including the canonical hours, administration of sacraments, etc.) is meant.
The Catholic Church in Spain has a long history, starting in the 1st century. It is the largest religion in Spain, with 58.6% of Spaniards identifying as Catholic. Attempts were made from the late 1st century to the late 3rd century to establish the church in the Iberian peninsula.
v. t. e. The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition ( Spanish: Tribunal del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición ), commonly known as the Spanish Inquisition ( Inquisición española ), was established in 1478 by the Catholic Monarchs, King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile.
Jan 11, 2012 · If we open Part Two of the Catechism we read that the word "liturgy" originally meant "service in the name of/on behalf of the people." In Christian tradition it means the participation of the People of God in "the work of God" (CCC, 1069).
