DECREE
In preparing a new edition of the Roman Ritual,
the Congregation of Sacred Rites decided to introduce a number of
additions and revisions, in order to bring it in line with recent
legislation, as well as to produce a more orderly arrangement of the
whole subject matter. Then, when the work had been studied and finally
completed it was submitted to the Supreme Pontiff, Pope Pius XII, for
approval.
On the recommendation of the undersigned
Cardinal Pro-Prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Rites, His Holiness
in turn confirmed and approved this edition of the Roman Ritual, and
decreed that it be the model to which all future editions of the Roman
Ritual are to conform, anything to the contrary notwithstanding.
