Quotes
The new ordinary of the Mass, beyond its relative imperfections, due to the weight of collegiality and universality, is an example of that fruitful search for open unity and dynamic fidelity, for true catholicity: one of its fruits will be that perhaps non-Catholic communities will be able to celebrate the Holy Supper with the same prayers used by the Catholic Church. Theologically, it is possible.
Il nuovo ordinario della messa, al di là delle sue relative imperfezioni, dovute al peso della collegialità e dell’universalità, è un esempio di quella ricerca feconda di unità aperta e di fedeltà dinamica, di vera cattolicità: uno dei suoi frutti sarà che forse le comunità non-cattoliche potranno celebrare la Santa Cena con le stesse preghiere che usa la Chiesa cattolica. Teologicamente, è possibile.
La Croix (May 30, 1969), p. 10. As quoted in Jean Guitton e la messa ecumenica … di Paolo VI (July 28, 2019)
