Which Documents Appear in Précis

 

All documents with background statements written by Msgr. Peter J. Elliott appear in the printed edition of Précis of Official Catholic Teaching. They contain this statement: “Background statements were written by Msgr. Peter J. Elliott of the Archdiocese of Melbourne and copyrighted by Catholics Committed to Support the Pope.”

Where Marty Barrack added online documents that do not appear in Précis, an exception statement appears such as this one from the volume on Worship and the Sacraments:

Catechism of the Catholic Church sections # 1077 through 1112 are relevant to these documents.	The story of Church letters	Background statements were written by Msgr. Peter J. Elliott of the Archdiocese of Melbourne and copyrighted by Catholics Committed to Support the Pope, except for Missale Romanum, Inaestimabile Donum, The Integrity of the Sacrament of Penance, and Declaration by the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts.
Document	Description	Background
Missale Romanum EWTN Library	Approving the New Roman Missal, Apostolic Constitution of Pope Paul VI, April 3, 1969	The most significant achievement of the reform of the liturgy was the publication of the new Roman Missal to replace the Missal of Pope St. Pius V (1570). The Mass is enriched by many new prefaces and three new Eucharistic prayers. The Scripture readings are published separately in a Lectionary, with a three year cycle for Sundays and solemnities (second edition, 1981). The Roman calendar is reformed and simplified. The rubrics for the ceremonies are set out in a General Instruction. Other later developments would be provision for children’s liturgy with specific Eucharistic prayers (1973, 1974), Eucharistic prayers for Masses of Reconciliation (1974), and a collection of Masses in honor of Our Lady (1986).

The background statements for these excepted documents were written by Marty Barrack.
