Addai and Mari, an ancient Eucharistic prayer at the origin of Eucharistic liturgies

Gianni Valente
Vatican Insider
Rome
10/24/2011

A match between Catholic theologians and liturgists of different orientation full of decisive Ecumenical and doctrinal implications for the whole Church.

Is this an article from previous decisions or something new? Reading it, I got the impression that the Vatican recognized something it hadn't, but the official recognition of the Assyrian Anaphora took place years ago.

Michael,

It contains nothing new that I can find. It appears to be a rambling discussion by Vatican Insider of the 2001 decision which you reference. I'd say it was published because they could find nothing meaningful to report about a learned conference ("The Genesis of the Anaphoral Institutional Narrative in the Light of the Anaphora of Addai and Mari").

The most fascinating aspect of the entire piece, to my eye, was the writer's ability to create an incredibly lengthy sentence and say nothing. It puts me in mind of those fashioned by undergraduates charged with turning in a paper of no less than X words.

Many years,

Neil

Fr. Felt solved this by expecting as much meat in a 1-2 pg paper as was generally expected in a 3-5.

Fr. McFadden taught me to write well as a high school freshman (a year of writing single paragraphs); Fr. Felt made me concise as an undergraduate. (the only reason my Ph.D. Dissertation hit 100 pages was including the source code).
