I was speaking with a Parish Pastor and good friend, and he told me that in his little corner of the world, he had adopted the "Benedictine Arrangement." The people loved it. It was, he believed, more conducive to an appreciation for and increased devotion of the Holy Eucharist which he felt was lacking. The New Liturgical Movement and What Does the Prayer Really Say? both followed this development closely. Shawn Tribe often showed a Mass--whether inside or outside the Vatican--in which this arrangement was used . The phenomenon has been noted by many in the blogosphere as this list can attest ; the arrangement is spreading to more Parishes now. It is no wonder that this was adopted by Cardinal George Pell during WYD . I hope to see more of this. The rationale for this arrangement is clear . It is clearly something dear to the heart of our Holy Father.

Jeffrey Tucker of The New Liturgical Movement puts the issue of new musical settings into perspective with regard to the copyright and taxation standards in place with ICEL. It is an essay well worth reading. The letter from CDWDS specifies that new musical settings are now needed.

Ever on the ball, Shawn Tribe and the New Liturgical Movement has provided the link to the "White Book" from the USCCB for the Ordo Missae as found in the Missale Romanum, editio typica tertia, including most of those texts used in every celebration of the Holy Mass. The NLM story is here . The NLM provides the link to the USCCB here . The entire White Book (PDF) is provided here . And yes, "pro multis" is translated "for many." Laus Deo!

Earlier today, a blog posited that other blogs stayed away from this subject as if it were "the third rail." As fools rush in where angels fear to tread, here is a reading list for your enlightenment which is by no means exhaustive. Amazon.com could provide a library for one to study: "Eschatology: Death and Eternal Life" (Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger) The Last Things: Judgment, Heaven, Hell, Purgatory (Fr. John Corapi, S.O.L.T.) Eschatology (William G. Most; EWTN, 1994) Life Everlasting (Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange; EWTN) The Church Fathers on Purgatory (Phil Porvaznik; Phatmass) Cathechism of the Catholic Church (Section 2, Article 7) Eschatological Fact and Fiction (Carl Olson) Hell & The Devil/ Eschatology (Last Things) (Coming Home Network)
