Římský misál mezi tridentským a druhým vatikánským koncilem

This article deals with the development of the Roman Missal from the Council of Trent to the Second Vatican Council. Although the Apostolic constitution Quo Primum forbade any changes to the Pope Pius V’s text of the Missal, new general revisions of the Missal and other changes were made during the 17th century and later. The description and the analysis of these changes are the key subject of this paper. Major attention is also given to the Synod of Pistoia, which was the leading liturgical event of the 18th century. Many liturgical reforms (such as the active participation of the people in the liturgy and the translating the Latin text into the vernacular) rejected and condemned at that time have been implemented since Vatican II . Similar efforts to restore the liturgy have appeared in the 19th and 20th centuries within the Liturgical movement. Nevertheless, not even the last publication of the Missal just before the opening of Vatican II could reflect this development.
