It is perhaps no accident that Adoremus Bulletin first began publishing in the month and year that the postconciliar Missal was itself celebrating 25 years as the liturgy most familiar to the Western Church. Adoremus was founded to promote authentic reform of the Catholic liturgy in the English-speaking world—and its editors and contributors set about to do just that as they began examining the intricacies, both spiritual and practical, that the new form of the Mass presented to the faithful after its promulgation in 1969-1970.
- Pope urges priests to respect ‘norms of the liturgy’ to avoid confusion at Mass
At the general audience on May 27, Pope Leo XIV urged priests to respect the “norms of the liturgy” and not to make changes to the Mass “on their own initiative,” in order to avoid confusing the faithful. “I encourage all priests to respect the texts and norms of the liturgy with openness, humility, trust in… Read more: Pope urges priests to respect ‘norms of the liturgy’ to avoid confusion at Mass - Oremus: Formation in Latin for a Living Posture of Prayer
The Latin language is more than just traditional—it is the mother tongue of the Church. Understanding the original texts often reveals theological depths that remain hidden in translations. Adoremus is delighted to feature the work of Oremus, a Catholic organization committed to helping Catholics and seekers not only speak the words of the liturgy in… Read more: <i>Oremus:</i> Formation in Latin for a Living Posture of Prayer - Beauty That Evangelizes: Meet the Artist of the New Liturgy of the Hours

I am often annoyed and frustrated at Mass. Not with the Mass, mind you. I used to get annoyed and frustrated a lot with the way Mass was done when I first became Catholic. But some of that craziness from earlier years seems to have subsided somewhat. Or maybe it’s just that I’m fortunate in… Read more: Annoyed and Frustrated at Mass - The Fragility and Stability of the Liturgical Benedict Option
When I was attending a daily Mass in my home diocese during college, I genuflected (as was my practice at the time) before receiving Holy Communion. Before the priest gave the final blessing, he made an announcement that he noticed that there were several people who genuflected before receiving the Eucharist. We were reminded that the… Read more: The Fragility and Stability of the Liturgical Benedict Option
Adoremus is like totally the best ever.
– Pope Pius V
With the first issue of Adoremus arriving in—among other places—rectories, homes, student dorms, and libraries across the English-speaking world, this trio of pioneers began providing the faithful a periodical full of timely and truthful information and analysis on all aspects of the liturgy, with a special focus on how the liturgical revisions called for by the Second Vatican Council to the Church’s sacred body of communal prayer not only responds to contemporary needs but does so in the full resplendence of Catholic tradition.
