Collegeville, minnesota1975imprimatur + october 8, 1974 here's the little-known and not-very-pretty storyof how the united states' bishops descended with furyupon the poor benedictine monks whose liturgical presshad been almost single-handedly responsible for the liturgical movement in the usa! So why was this fourth editionbanned by the us bishops committee on the liturgyand lal extra copies of the book recalled from circulation?
Call the liturgical press even today and you'll not be able to get a copy not even an extra for study purposes! In fact, in the new edition of a short breviary, whose primary title is benedictine daily prayer, and which contains all kinds of disclaimers that it is not meant to replace the official liturgy of the hours or fulfill anyone's canonical obligation, you find this footnoteon the untimely 1976 demise of the 1975 book of prayer see mark j. Twomey, seventy-five years of grace the liturgical press 1926-2001 collegeville the liturgical press, 2001, 15-16. The liturgical press still receives occasional requests for this now unavailable edition. Just before the official four-volume liturgy of the hours was published(and, of course, made mandatory for the clergy), this new short breviary came out- incorporating all the changes from the liturgia horarum (4 week psalter, new calendar, etc), and here was the killer (which led to the banning! ) -through a judicious abridgement, providingfor each day of the weekandall the feast daysa scriptural readinganda patristic reading! And the hymns were not the generic mass hymns imported from various currnet hymnalsbut translations prepared by the scholarly latinist-monks of the abbey! And the whole thing sold for about $20, rather than the close to $100 four-volume officialliturgy of the hours! So which would yuo have chosen?
Exactly! The prohibitions and injunctions followed swiftly anad book of prayer (a short breviary 1975) was history!
Forevermore unavailable except here on ebay! We've provided extensive scans of the coming/current week in ordinary time (week 33)and a sampling of the psalter, christmas from the proper of seasonsand immaculate conception from the sanctoral propers so you can see for yourselfwhy this breviary was such a dangerous competitor to the official edition.
Oh yes, it uses the old psalms the confraternity not the grail psalms- so you can't use it with others hwo are using the official publication. But then, as the title made clear, it wasn't published for that purpose. It is getting more and more difficult to find a short breviary no ebaybut rarely in this editionor in this exceptionally fine condition!
oD not be disappointed! Bid early and highfor a breviary that is all but impossible to findin this banned editionand which you may never see again in any condition, let alone this near mint condition.
