Formula Missae

And so at the...

You know, when he writes, for example, the Formula missae, he says, "Just keep the Mass as it is textually, um, but change the rubric." So one of the hu- you know, biggest i- changes of rubric there was we're going to actually not just speak the, the, uh, words of Christ's institution, but we're going to sing them, we're going to chant them.

And this was a thing that used to be whispered inaudibly.

And if you go to a modern Latin Mass, which everybody that knows me in my online existence knows I am not a fan of the medieval Latin Mass, I think it's crap.

Yeah.

This is Wittenberg, right? So then you get the Deutsche Messe or you could even call it like the, the, the Volksmass as Pastor Roland Weisbrod likes to call it, right? The people's, the people's liturgy.

Um, a- and the main sort of change here is organically moving from the Formula missae into the Deutsche Messe, where he's talking about it in that book, which is just on the Deutsche Messe, talking about why these liturgical principles are going to cause what, what he's sort of framing as a rubrical shift to instead use a German hymn, for example, instead of something like a Latin Gloria.

And I don't reme- I could pull it up and, and, and speak on these matters, um, like with his own words, but just to paraphrase him a little bit, he's trying to take the Latin text of the liturgy and merge it together with German hymns that are filling that same purpose or paraphrasing that piece of the liturgy.
