Are Non-Catholics Worthy to Be Named in Texts of Catholic Anaphora? Some Remarks on No. 121 of Directory for the Application of Principles and Norms..

Summary/Abstract: The current Directory for the application of principles and norms on ecumenism from 1993 stipulates an exclusion from the anaphora prayers for other than Catholic communities, their representatives and needs, arguing with an “ancient liturgical and ecclesiological tradition.” The paper verifies such convictions on the basis of analysis of liturgical texts of both Roman and Eastern traditions, praxis on the local level and theological arguments. Finally it gives some propositions concerning models for prayers for unity with other Christian Churches within anaphora.
