Your Eminence,
I am seeking a precise understanding of the meaning of the motu proprio "Ecclesia Dei".
1. What constitutes a "rightful aspiration" to worship according to the liturgical books of 1962?
2. Can anyone have or acquire such a rightful aspiration?
3. Are there any age limits on those aspiring to worship according to the liturgical books of 1962?
4. Can someone with no knowledge of "previous liturgical norms" and who discovers the Mass according to the 1962 Missal acquire a "rightful aspiration" to it?
5. How does one rightfully acquire a "rightful aspiration"?
Yours sincerely
John Gresser
