Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Mass; Its Doctrine, Its History: The Story of the Mass in Pen and Picture Of all the Christian Rites not one is more universally known or more important than that of the Mass. The only proof of this which we will give here is that all heresies, all the Protestant sects which have eliminated the greater number of the other rites have, under one form or another, kept this one. The only exception of which I know is that of the Quakers, who have rejected this as well as all the other Catholic Ceremonies. The complete history of the Mass has not yet been written, but it would be a truly marvellous history. It would show how the Mass, mysteriously celebrated in the vaults of the catacombs, on the tombs of the martyrs, became in the fifth and sixth centuries, in that same Rome which for 300 years had persecuted Christianity, a public solemnity where the Pope, surrounded by numbers of his clergy and followed by crowds of the faithful, went in procession to the church of the Station to offer the Holy Sacrifice as Supreme Pontiff. The synaxis, or liturgical assembly described in the Acts of the Apostles and by the writers of the first centuries, had become everywhere - in the churches of Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, Edessa, Constantinople, Milan, and Rome; in Gaul, in Spain, and throughout the whole Catholic world--a solemn ceremony, surrounded with symbolic rites; the centre of Catholic worship.
