Roman Ritual

The Roman Ritual is the liturgical book of the celebrations after the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church, which usually leads a priest. It contains the liturgical actions, which are not described in the Missal, Pontifical or the breviary. In rituals there are liturgical forms for baptism, for marriage, for the anointing of the sick and visiting the sick. Also included are the Versehgang or the Viaticum, the sacrament of penance, the Roman funeral rites and exorcisms. An important part of the rituals are the Roman benedictions.

Until post-Reformation period, the celebration of the individual rites was regulated in each own ritual books about Sacerdotalien. The first official edition of the Roman Ritual, the Roman Ritual Pauli Quinti Pontifici Maximilian Iussu editum, appeared in 1614 under Pope Paul V and reflected the Tridentine rite; it is available in the Monumenta Liturgica Concilii Tridentine today. The Roman Ritual was long, but never commonly prescribed in this form in use. Therefore, the German dioceses used until the 20th century widely own ritual books that showed significant deviations from the Roman mold especially regarding the wedding ceremony and funeral rite. The Roman Ritual experienced some reissues. 1925 the Vatican put a new publication, " which was in accordance with the Code of Canon Law, the rubrics of the Roman Missal and carefully revised the decrees of the Apostolic See, improved and expanded ." Appeared in 1952, the last edition of the Roman again revised rituals.

The oldest translation of the Roman Ritual for liturgical use in a modern vernacular is the 1640 published in Rome under Urban VIII issue in Croatian (see Bartol Kašić ).

Within the framework adopted by the Second Vatican Council general liturgical reform published by Roman and after the partial volumes of renewed rituals that deal with the individual parties. Their translation into the vernacular in which the renewal of Catholic liturgy is celebrated usually done through used by the individual bishops' conferences theologian commissions and, in turn, each in turn authorized papal. For almost all sacramental celebrations - this includes sacraments and sacramentals - are now authentic German -language versions appeared, and in a series of individual volumes in contrast to the Roman Ritual without a common main title. The German title usually start with ... The celebration, such as the celebration of infant baptism. But the book Communion and Eucharistic adoration outside Mass and a Benediktionale belong to the Roman German- existence of the rituals.

Latin as German language editions contain in addition to the respective order of worship liturgical and theological preliminary. The so-called Pastoral introduction provides information on theology and practice of the celebration and also has legal character.
