Tradcatknight: Abolishing the Mass of the Pre-Sanctified Another example of an ancient and venerable Holy Week ceremony abolished in the 1955 reform was the final part of the Good Friday liturgy known as the “Mass of the Pre-Sanctified.” The last time it was celebrated in the Roman Rite was April 8, 1955, after which it suffered a damnatio memoriae (1) by official decree. It is understandable that Crammer eliminated the Mass of the Pre-Sanctified in the 16th century so as to eradicate all its identifying marks and to cancel every trace of its existence. But for this to happen under Pius XII is beyond comprehension.
Before dealing with the chain of events that led up to its abolition, let us keep in mind a few facts about the Mass of the Pre-Sanctified that aroused intense disapproval among the progressivist reformers. tradcatknight.blogspot.com/2017/06/abolishing-mass-of-pre-sanctified.html#more
