The Old Mass and The New: Explaining the Motu Proprio Summorum
Pontificum of Pope Benedict XVI
by Bishop Marc Aillet | Foreword by Bishop Dominique Rey
In July 7, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI released his motu proprio Summorum Pontificum, allowing for unprecedented
freedom for priests to celebrate the so-called Tridentine Mass, now referred to as the "Extraordinary Form" of
the Mass, as opposed to the Mass of Paul VI, or the "Ordinary Form". In this new book by French bishop Marc
Aillet, the historical and cultural impetus for the motu proprio as well as the rich tradition of liturgical reform are
explored. As a priest of the Community of Saint Martin, which celebrates the Mass of Paul VI in Latin, Bishop Aillet has been
committed to the promotion of liturgical reform that is rooted in tradition for many years. As bishop of the diocese of
Bayonne in France, he has been instrumental in reintroducing the Extraordinary Form in his diocese. A work that is both easy to understand and deeply rich, The Old Mass and the New gives an overview of the
history and theology of the liturgy. At the same time, Bishop Aillet beckons us to look ahead to move beyond the crisis
in the liturgy to a reconciliation of these two forms of the Latin rite. An excellent introduction for those interested
in the theological foundations of the liturgy.
