John or my dear friend Christopher Jones. :)<BR/><BR/>I would simply note that they don't stay where you put them. They flow back and forth and you can see this readily in, say, the propers for Trinity Sunday or the Sequence for Corpus Christi. A communicative property is a good way to describe what happens in actual liturgical history, as the primary theology produces a secondary theology which interacts with the primary which interacts with the secondary on and on. The notion of "pure" primary theology is one that we don't have access too because we all live at the end of a received tradition that has had this interplay at work for centuries. In your case, it was what led to dropping the pleading of the merits of the saints from the Roman canon.William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-41866895833537349142008-05-22T12:12:00.000-05:002008-05-22T12:12:00.000-05:00Pr Weedon,It seems to me that the original intent ...Pr Weedon,<BR/><BR/>It seems to me that the original intent of <I>lex orandi, lex credendi</I> suggests neither a communicative property, nor the notion that the doctrinal content or dogmatic phrasing produces the liturgical text; but rather that the liturgical text gives birth to doctrinal teaching and urges dogmatic clarity. At least, this seems to be the thrust of Kavanaugh's emphasis on "primary theology."Fr John W Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01283787316830250866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-76082368475632779832008-05-22T06:19:00.000-05:002008-05-22T06:19:00.000-05:00Thanks for highlighting this!
