CATHOLIC MASS
Transcript: Liturgical Actions There are many liturgical actions used throughout the mass, some of these are: The Consecration, bowing, blessing, symbols, oil and white garments. Part 2: Liturgy of the Word In this part of the Mass, two readings from the old testament are read and the Gospel is read from the New Testament. The priest then gives a homely welcome, which is a reflection on the readings of that day. The Liturgy of the Word is an opportunity for Catholics to hear the word of God and for them to learn something. Catholicism was the most dominant religion on the continent by the time the Renasissance began in the Mid 14th Century. Until the Renaissance most European's followed the teachings of Catholicism strictly. Many people had little exposure to any form of education beyond this and science was not a well understood concept. Very little of what the church taught people about life was challenged.
