Mass Without the Consecration?

Robert F. Taft [1]
From May 12, 2003

In the May 26 issue of America, Robert F. Taft, S.J,. calls for [2] the Catholic Church to return to its liturgical roots. In May 2003, Father Taft wrote about what he deemed the "most important magisterial teaching since Vatican II"--the recognition of the Anaphora of Addai and Mari, which did not include the words of institution, "This is my body, this is my blood."Read Father Tafts article [3].

Robert F. Taft, S.J., is emeritus professor of Oriental liturgy at the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome and consultor for liturgy of the Vatican Congregation for the Oriental Churches.
