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 />
