For instance: the introduction of the “versus populum”<br />

(facing the people) altar is presented with masked words, full<br />

of suspicion, in Art. 91 of the Instruction: “Oecum. Concilii”:<br />

«It is a good idea to place the main altar away from<br />

the wall (...) in order to easily move around it (...) to celebrate<br />

“versus populum.”» (!!)<br />

It is worth noting the fraudulent way of presenting this.<br />

Episcopalian Conferences almost always use the “criterion<br />

of arbitrary interpretation,” which consists in converting a<br />

“licet” [permitted], an “expedit” [free from entanglements]<br />

and a “tribui possit” of liturgical law, into a categorical<br />

“debet” [withdrawal], thus eliminating the viability of a different<br />

option, when the “licet” provides for freedom of choice<br />

and is recognized in all legal Codes.<br />

This is how the true “turn away from God” turned into a<br />

“focusing on beings,” such as it happened with the introduction<br />

of the altar “versus populum,” that is a true “turn<br />

away from God,” a God who is truly present, substantially,<br />

Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Tabernacle that holds<br />

the Holy Eucharist.<br />

Today, with his back to the Lord, the priest “focuses”<br />

(“conversio ad creaturas”) on “God’s people,” who have<br />

now become the protagonists of the Liturgy. This is also<br />

confirmed in the “Institutio Generalis Missalis Romani”<br />

(Art. 14), where it says:<br />

«... cum Missae celebratio (e.g. “execution” of all ceremonies<br />

of sacrificial rites!) natura sua (against the Tridentine<br />

dogma!) indolem communitariam habeat» (!!). Therefore,<br />

“it is a community celebration”!<br />

There is no way out. Here, the heretical sense of the term<br />

“indolem communitariam” or community nature, attributed<br />

to the “Celebration of the Mass,” is confirmed in what follows<br />

in line with the time: “dialogis inter celebrantem et coetum<br />

fidelium (...) (omitted)... communionem inter sacerdotem<br />

et populum fovent, et efficiunt...”!<br />

While before, the celebration [of the Mass] “facing God”<br />

made every celebrant “the priest”, “in the person of Christ,”<br />
