Early Proof of CTS People's Missal
« on: July 30, 2011, 08:43:15 PM »
From New Liturgical Movement. Click below to take a look:
CTS People's Missal Early Proof Preview

Quote
The following is an early page proof for the edition being worked on by CTS which will include dual Latin-English for some of the text.

Please note: This is an early proof, not a final proof.

NLM is told "the Missal will have short introductions to the Masses of the ‘tempi forti’ taken from Pope Benedict’s Magisterium and will also have devotional material for preparation and thanksgiving before and after Mass."

It will be interesting to see the final product both in form and in content. You can expect an NLM review at that time. But for now, a quick preview of the early concept.

Urgh - Why oh why can't they use a nice sans serif font?

Well indeed - but why not a font like Gill Sans? It's the clearest font for dyslexics (let's dispel the myth that Comic Sans is the most legable font for people with Dyslexia.... because it's not), the Church of England and the Methodist Churches both use them as the font for their prayer books.... there must be something in it!

Is Gill Sans meant to be very clear? I use it for pretty much everything, but only because I like it! :)

Oh dear - I didn't think this would turn into a "fonts-I-have-known" discussion!

Having used Common Worship on numerous occasions to pray with my Anglican brethren I have to say that, while I find it clear, I don't find it particularly inspiring. There is little that makes it feel special. The Anglican church doesn't have a hand-missal to speak of so I know that we aren't comparing like for like, but the CTS missal (font, illustrations etc) is more suggestive of something that should be treasured.

Before I'm accused of being anti-Anglican (I'm far from it) I also found Collins' publications similarly bland - both missal and breviary. They, along with CTS and Redemptorist, have been chosen to publish hand-missals in the UK and are saying that they will be including art and catechetical material in the missal to aid the layman in praying the mass. There is certainly a clearer vision now for what these documents should look like.

Personally, I like the layout of this sample - it is clear and attractive and I'm a fan of the use of the two colours for the text.
