Abstract

The article addresses the legal issues related to the sermon which is preached during the liturgy that is celebrated after the Second Vatican Council according to the 1962 books of the Roman Rite. The rubrics of these books did not include the sermon as an integral part of the liturgy, and therefore its delivery was often catechistic and non-homiletic in nature. Therefore, a research problem emerges regarding the necessity to take into account the current disciplinary norms concerning the homily, which is nowadays treated as a sacramental act of worship. The analyses lead to the conclusion that the sermon in the liturgy according to the pre-conciliar books remains an unintegral part of the celebration. However, the connection between the preached word and the celebrated liturgy should now be taken into account. When preaching a sermon within the liturgy in question, the disciplinary norms of the current Code of Canon Law should be observed. However, the integrity (shape) of the rites contained in the 1962 books should also be preserved.
