The Minor Basilica According to the Liturgical Law

Summary/Abstract: Churches with the title of the minor basilica, in the assumption of the legislator, are to be primarily a center of liturgical and pastoral life, and for other churches an example worthy of imitation. The decree Domus ecclesiae of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, dated November 9, 1989, directs one towards appropriate planning out of sanctuaries and different places of liturgy, according to the spirit of liturgical renewal after the Second Vatican Council. The document does not indicate detailed liturgical norms, but refers to the legal principles contained in the liturgical books. Particular attention is paid to the altar, the ambo, the celebrant’s chair, the baptismal font, the confessional, the place for the reservation of the Most Holy Eucharist. The legislator’s concern is placed on the adequately prepared and numerically satisfying celebration of the liturgical team.
