The Mass is liturgy “The sacred liturgy does, in fact, include divine as well as human elements. …..instituted… by God, cannot be changed in any way by men. But the human components…as the ecclesiastical hierarchy, under guidance of the Holy Spirit, may have authorized.”  - Pope Pius XII, Mediator Dei, 50.

The church building “They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven.” (Heb 8:5)

Liturgical music “The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as specially suited to the Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in liturgical services” (Sacrosanctum Concilium , 116).  

Liturgical music This pride of place was not intended to exclude other kinds of sacred music, especially polyphony, “so long as they accord with the spirit of the liturgical action.”
