The Ordinariate Missal is an attempt at the RotR, but all it did was make a committee try and fix a committee’s work. That’s not how liturgy has ever worked. It has to be organic, springing from actual inculturation with respect for Tradition. Even if you think committee liturgies are a good thing…
The Ordinariate Missal is an attempt at the RotR, but all it did was make a committee try and fix a committee’s work. That’s not how liturgy has ever worked. It has to be organic, springing from actual inculturation with respect for Tradition. Even if you think committee liturgies are a good thing, so many of the historical and liturgical assumptions made by Bugnini have been proven to be hogwash.
The fact is that the Missal printed in the US in 1965 made all the changes the council actually called for. Retranslate that and restore the calendar.
A committee determined to be faithful to the tradition handed on instead of a committee determined to incorporate the zeitgeist. I understand your point but unless you believe you can simply rewind the clock the Ordinariate liturgical project is amazingly traditional, beautiful and the best thing going.
As I said on Twitter: Lipstick, meet pig.

That was not my experience using it along with the NO and 1962 Missal simultaneously.
