Pope pondering change to Mass liturgy
9 hours ago
VATICAN CITY (AP) — A high-ranking Vatican official says Pope
Benedict XVI is considering introducing a change to the Mass liturgy.
Cardinal
Francis Arinze, who heads the Vatican office for sacraments, says the
pope may move the placement of the sign of peace, where congregation
members shake hands or hug.
Arinze told the Vatican newspaper
L'Osservatore Romano in an interview published Friday that the pope has
asked bishops to express their opinions and will then decide.
Under
the change, the sign of peace, which now takes place moments before the
reception of communion, would come earlier. Arinze said the change
might help create a more solemn atmosphere as the faithful are
preparing to receive communion.
