    Sorry but I do not know a lot about England, except that the Anglican Service Service was nothing like the Latin Mass. Vatican Two Latin Mass changed a mass that almost reflects the Anglican service, a sad place for Catholics who love us our Church and the Latin Mass

  2. Dr. Zoom Zoom 3.0 says:

    "Mass" is one of many terms used to describe the Eucharist in the Anglican tradition, the others being "Holy Communion, Eucharist or the Lord's Supper." in the English-speaking Anglican world The term used frequently connotes the Eucharistic theology of a use. "Mass" is considered an Anglo-Catholic, "Holy Communion" or "communion service" is the normal term for most Anglicans outside North America. Middle of the road Anglicans almost uniformly used recently to reintroduce the word "Eucharist".
      The various Eucharistic liturgies used by the churches of the Anglican Communion have evolved from the early editions of the Book of Common Prayer, which was inspired by the pre-Tridentine Mass. The liturgies of the structure, designed in the tradition of the Elizabethan settlement, allows a variety of theological interpretations, and generally follows the same approximate shape. Some or all of the following elements can be altered or absent depending on the rite, the liturgical season and use of the province or national church:
      + The meeting of the Community: From a Trinitarian-based greeting or seasonal acclamation, followed by the Collect for Purity Gloria in Excelsis Deo or some other song of praise, Kyrie eleison, and / or Trisagion, and then the collection day. During Lent and / or Advent in particular, this part of the service may begin or end with a penitential rite.
      + The Proclamation of the Word: Usually two or three readings of Scripture, one is always from the Gospels, plus a psalm (or part thereof) or the song lessons. This is followed by a sermon or homily, the recitation of the Apostles' or Nicene creeds Athanasia; the prayers of the congregation or a general intercession, confession and absolution, and the adoption of the peace.
      + The Celebration of the Eucharist: The gifts of bread and wine are raised, along with other gifts (such as money and / or food for a food bank, etc.), and an offertory prayer is recited. Following this, a Eucharistic Prayer (called "The Great Thanksgiving") is offered. This prayer is a dialogue (the Sursum Corda), a preface, the Sanctus and Benedictus, the words of institution, anamnesis, a Epiclesis, a call for salvation, and Doxology. The Lord's Prayer before the fraction (the breaking of bread), followed by the Prayer of Humble Access and / or the Agnus Dei, and the distribution of the sacred (the bread and wine). After all who wished she had received, there is a prayer after Communion, which is a general prayer of thanksgiving. The service concludes with a Trinitarian blessing and dismissal.
      The liturgy is divided into two parts: the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist, but the entire liturgy is properly called the Holy Eucharist. The parties and the sequence of the liturgy are almost identical to the Roman Rite, except the confession of sin ends the Liturgy of the Word in the Anglican rites in North America, while in the Roman Rite and Anglican rites in the rest of the world's confession is near the beginning of the service. Some Anglo-Catholic parishes, especially in the Church of England, the current use of ordinary forms of the Roman Rite for the celebration of Mass
      The Anglican tradition includes separate rites for nuptial masses, funeral masses, votive Masses y. The Eucharist is an integral part of many other sacramental services, including coordination and confirmation.
      Some Anglo-Catholic parishes use Anglican versions of the Tridentine Missal, as the English Missal, The Anglican Missal, or American Missal, for the celebration of Mass, all of which are intended primarily for the celebration of the Eucharist. Many Anglo-Catholic parishes in the Church of England, the use of the Mass of Paul VI and a handbook of Anglo-Catholic Devotion (successor to the earlier A Manual of Catholic Devotion). The U.S. Episcopal Church, a traditional language, Anglo-Catholic adaptation of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer has been published (an Anglican Service Book).
      All these books contain such features as meditations for the presiding celebrant (s) during the liturgy, and other materials such as the rite of blessing of palms on Palm Sunday, special Propers for the holidays, and instructions for proper ceremonial order. These books are used as a Catholic more expansive context in which to celebrate the liturgical use found in the Book of Common Prayer and liturgical books.

  3. Marq JPAA says:

    In reality, the Holy Mass in the Prayer Book 1979 is closer to the Catholic Mass that was the old-style communion service in the Prayer Book of 1928, although the 1928 Prayer Book uses the language of the formula King James Version of the Bible.

  4. Saint Christo says:

    This is not a game that has the original of the liturgy.
      The Magesterium is God's will in doing what is best for the people of God.
