These divine revelations may come
from four sources-by the DEGREES OF
councils, the works of the Fathers, acts
/ Of the pOpes, and the words of the lit
urgy
"St. Gregory ] introduced into the
mass the Kyrie Eleison, and the Ale
.uia. Other popes introduced other parts
/ into the mass. Another introduced the
| ,itany in ember days. And so our lit
/ urgy as it now stands is the result of a
! process of evolution.
Holy Scripture is written by order
Of God and under the inspiration of the
| Holy Spirit. Here it differs from tradi
lion, which is the word of God anC
even the written word of God but no
written by Gods command, or undei
The inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
That part of the liturgy called tn,
Apostles Greed belongs to tradition. -
