Wierność przepisom a twórczość liturgiczna w celebracji Mszy świętej

Abstract

The Holy Mass liturgy is endangered today by what can be called “wild creativity” The changes introduced in the Holy Mass do not always agree with the spirit of liturgy. Hence the question arises, how to interpret some pastors’ and laymen’s creativity. They disregard the liturgical regulations by introducing their own ideas into the Holy Mass celebration. Trying to answer this question the author of the article takes into consideration the following motifs: (1) concern about being true to the regulations in the Holy Mass liturgy in the Church’s and John Paul II’s teaching; (2) the new regulations concerning the Holy Mass liturgy; and (3) some abuses encountered during the celebration of the Holy Mass. Summing up the article the author puts forward some conclusions and postulates. He reminds that obedience to liturgical norms should be discovered and appreciated again. Moreover, the rules should be obeyed both by the dispensers and the laymen. In the author’s opinion the need arises of biblical-liturgical formation in this respect of both the clergy and the laymen.
