Divine Worship: The Missal/Thine Own Service

From the Catholic Thing:

Retconning the Reformation
Gunnar Gundersen

What if a group of earnest reformers, with the support of King Henry VIII, managed to produce a reverent English liturgy, in communion with the pope? What would that look like today?

You may think that there is no answer to this question. But there is. This year, marking its tenth anniversary, Anglicanorum Coetibus – and the Ordinariates formed under it – make it clear: a beautiful and reverent liturgy capturing some of the best aspects of ancient Anglo-Saxon spirituality, Anglo-American hymnody, and Anglo-American prayer life. Crucially, it provides a bridge between the rest of the Church and Anglo-American culture, which Protestant Christianity had mostly claimed for itself.
