An ecclesiastical office instituted by Benedict XIV in 1741 to defend the bond of marriage when nullity or dissolution was sought by one or both spouses.
Rubrics can be found in the introduction to a liturgy, explaining its nature and purpose, and throughout the actual liturgical text, detailing actions to be performed or materials to be used.
Some rubrics are preceptive and admit of no variation, while others are suggestive and leave the words, actions, or general mood to be set to the discretion of the celebrant.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Church Latin
In the present instance these words are taken to mean the Latin we find in the official textbooks of the Church (the Bible and the Liturgy), as well as in the works of those Christian writers of the West who have undertaken to expound or defend Christian beliefs.
that the ecclesiastical rites and institutions were first of all known by Greek names, and that the early Christian writers in the Latin language took those words consecrated by usage and embodied them in their works either in toto (e.
With the exception of some Hebraic or Hellenist expressions popularized through Bible translations, the grammatical peculiarities to be met with in ecclesiastical Latin are not to be laid to the charge of Christianity; they are the result of an evolution through which the common language passed, and are to be met with among non-Christian writers.

A distinctive character has been given to the office for each ecclesiastical season, for each fast or festival of the year, almost for each day of the week; and provision has also been made of a suitable communion service for many of the special occasions both of public and of private life.

 Catholic Directories
The ecclesiastical sense of the word directory, as will be shown later, has become curiously confused with its secular use, but historically speaking the ecclesiastical sense is the earlier.
To this the feasts and saints' days celebrated in the diocese are added, and, as the higher grade of these special celebrations often causes them to take precedence of those in the ordinary calendar, a certain amount of shifting and transposition is inevitable, even apart from the complications introduced by the movable feasts.
Speaking generally, we may say that the former of these rubrical books contains the principles and the latter their application; the former determines those matters that are constant and primarily the duties of persons, the latter deals with the arrangements which vary from day to day and from year to year.

 IMS Rubric Specification
In this specification, we use the term 'rubric' (see Appendix) while recognizing that the term is used with different but closely related meaning in various English-speaking locales and that it appears in various other European languages with usage that is generally less educationally-oriented (a column; a heading).
The model for the rubric itself is separate from a model for showing the scores of a specific portfolio against a rubric.
A rubric is a scoring guide that define assessment criteria for each cell in a two dimensional-matrix of dimensions of quality by levels of mastery.

 Addleshaw - The High Church Tradition - Chapter 5   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
To the liturgists it was only through conformity to the rubrics, through a faithful and exact reading of the prayers, and the disciplined and balanced Christianity which they gave, that the faithful could be brought to the divine charity which is the end of the Christian life.
Yet before the civil wars the ecclesiastical courts were enforcing this post-Reformation customary usage; one John Smith of Stambridge Magna in Essex was brought before the Archdeacon’s court in 1638 for, amongst other things, not turning to the east for the Creed and Gloria.
The writer admits that the rubrical direction for the commixture in the 1549 Prayer Book and its subsequent omission is strong evidence that the practice is contrary to the existing rubrics.

 D B Updike, "Some Notes on Liturgical Printing"
Rubrical directions are indicated by the insertion of a Hebrew character in outline, or by the use of a small size of the normal Hebrew character.
But the rubrication in all these books, whether old or new, appears to be governed by the usual rule that words to be said are printed in fl, and directions for their use in red, as in Roman Catholic and Anglican rubricated prayer books.
Rubrics in these books have initials in fl, which I think also open to exception, for rubrics, except in rare instances, require no initials; but if used, such initials should be rubricated also.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : Paths to Rome: Washing of Feet on Holy Thursday
The liturgical instructions, or rubrics, of the Sacramentary were to be followed faithfully: "The men who have been chosen are led by the ministers to chairs prepared in a suitable place.
On the contrary, bishops have the serious responsibility "to be watchful lest abuses creep into ecclesiastical discipline, especially concerning the ministry of the word, the celebration of the sacraments and sacramentals, the worship of God and devotion to the saints..." [Canon 392.2].
The English rubric translates the Latin viri selecti as "Those who have been chosen." This translation leaves the matter open, does not prejudice the authority of the diocesan bishop, and reflects the present pastoral reality in many places throughout the English-speaking countries in which the feet of women and men are washed.

 ACA CANONS IV - DISCIPLINE
In each Diocese and Missionary District there shall be an Ecclesiastical Court for the trial of any Presbyter or Deacon thereof, and it shall be the duty of each Diocese and Missionary District to provide by Canon for the establishment of such Court and the mode of conducting trials in the same.
In each Ecclesiastical Court required to be established in Section 1 of this Canon, each Diocese and Missionary District shall provide in each Court as established an individual learned in the law who shall be required to advise the Court on all legal issues which shall be raised during any trial before the said Court.
The Bishop or Ecclesiastical Authority shall thereupon pronounce that the Minister is released from the obligation of the Ministerial office, and that he is deprived of the right to exercise in this Church the gifts and spiritual authority as a Minister of God’s Word and Sacraments conferred on him in his Ordination.

 Rubrics (ecclesiastical) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rubrics are written directions for liturgical actions found in religious service and liturgical books, especially in Christianity.
They are traditionally printed or written in red (Latin: ruber) to distinguish them from the words that are supposed to be spoken, printed in fl.
Less formally rubrics may refer to any liturgical action customarily performed over the course of a service whether or not they are actually written down.

 LM
Typically, a rector is the priest in charge of a self-supporting parish, and a vicar is the priest in charge of a supported mission.
The rector is the ecclesiastical authority of the parish.
The term is derived from the Latin for "rule." The rector has authority and responsibility for worship and the spiritual jurisdiction of the parish, subject to the rubrics of the BCP, the constitution and canons of the church, and the pastoral direction of the bishop.

 On Being Liturgical: Premiere Issue
The rite is the text of the particular liturgical form, the rubric are its directions, and the ceremony are any actions or accoutrements necessary for that liturgy.
In our example on baptism, the Pastor not only practices the rite (text) and is familiar with the rubrics (directions), but also thinks through the ceremony to adapt it to the space or context in which he administers the Sacrament.
Like the rite, rubric and ceremony, the liturgical Pastor wishes to do nothing but be the setting in which the jewel of Holy Baptism is exalted.

Exceptions are made to them, however, by means of particular rubrics which occur at certain places in the breviary and the missal edited according to these rubrics.
These feasts are to be celebrated, according to the rubrics, by all those who are bound by that particular calendar; and they cannot be dropped from the calendar or changed in rank except by special indult of the Holy See.
A permanent particular calendar of this kind is to be made up respectively by the local ordinary or by the highest religious superior with the advice of his chapter or general council, and it subject to the approval of the Sacred Congregation of Rites.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ecclesiastical Feasts
The succession of these seasons form the ecclesiastical year, in which the feasts of Our Lord form the ground and framework, the feasts of the Blessed Virgin and the Saints the ornamental tracery.
Prototypes and starting-points for the oldest ecclesiastical feasts are the Jewish solemnities of Easter and Pentecost.
By the French revolution the ecclesiastical calendar had been radically abolished, and at the reorganization of the French Church, in 1806, only four feasts were retained: Christmas, the Ascension, the Assumption, and All Saints; the other feasts were transferred to Sunday.

Any priest and other clergy who possesses ecclesiastical properties within the territories of the senators and nobility are subject to them and must obey them: they should not appeal to the courts or enter into quarrels with the landlords, but must acknowledge the right of patronage.
But accusations regarding the person of the clergy and their spiritual functions, are subject only to the bishop, and the misdemeanors of the clergy shall be punished exclusively by the bishop on the complaints of the landlord.
This shall also be understood for archimadrates and hegumenoi and other ecclesiastics who are subject to the bishops and to their authority.

 Protocol Isaiah 97-06   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
These instructions are not recommendations, but rather directives regarding the proper rubrics to be followed when two or more priests concelebrate in the Divine Liturgy and whenever a Hierarch presides or celebrates.
In regard to seniority and the chief celebrant, please remember that the Pastor of a parish is the direct representative of the Bishop to that parish, and as such he is the senior concelebrant ex officio in the absence of the Bishop himself or the Diocesan Chancellor who is my senior direct representative.
Should an older and more senior priest visit a parish with a much younger pastor, however, the Pastor should strongly consider inviting the visitor to be the celebrant while he remains in the altar vested in his rasson (and at communion with his epitrachelion).

A Rubric which is specific, and concerning the interpretation of which no question has arisen, is a positive directory for all.
In all questions of the interpretation of a Rubric not plainly expressed, unless, and until, there shall have been an interpretation given by the Legislature of the Church, or by judicial decision of the Diocesan Courts, the Ordinary is Authority, within his own Diocese.
So the cases in the Ecclesiastical Courts are the creditable expositors of English canon law: and it is that law to which we may resort for guidance in all unsettled points.

The stated objective of imposing the rubric was to expel her from the Parish Vestry, to which she had been elected at the 2003 parish annual meeting.
Her imposition of the rubric was a sham; her stated intention was not to discipline or to seek amendment of life but to force Linda from the Vestry.
The rubric is very clear that the matter is to remain private in all cases where the disciplinary ban is imposed.

The ecclesiastical conditions out of which the Oxford movement arose, and the nature of the movement itself, hardly admit of discussion here: but the more modern history of the question has been very fully treated in the evidence brought before us by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
This conception drew with it, as an inevitable corollary, the sense of ecclesiastical continuity, of the intimate and unbroken connexion between the primitive Church and the Church of England, and of the importance of the Fathers as guides and teachers for churchmen in the present day.
The rubric to the present Prayer Book adopts the language of the statute of Elizabeth; but they all obviously mean the same thing, that the same dresses and the same utensils, or articles, which were used under the first Prayer Book of Edward VI.

 Tra le Sollecitudini - Motu Proprio of Pope Pius X on Sacred Music
This, too, must therefore be restored largely in ecclesiastical functions, especially in the more important basilicas, in cathedrals, and in the churches and chapels of seminaries and other ecclesiastical institutions in which the necessary means are usually not lacking.
In general it must be considered a very grave abuse when the liturgy in ecclesiastical functions is made to appear secondary to and in a manner at the service of the music, for the music is merely a part of the liturgy and its humble handmaid.
Finally, We desire that sacred music be cultivated with special care and in the proper way in all the seminaries and ecclesiastical colleges of Rome, in which such a large and choice body of young clerics from all parts of the world are being educated in the sacred sciences and in the ecclesiastical spirit.

 Theology Today - Vol 43, No. 3 - October 1986 - BOOK REVIEW - What Christians Believe About the Bible
The author, an associate professor of theology at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary, seeks to meet the need for a one-volume work that explains "the basics of the various contemporary views about the nature of the Bible." This goal is admirably achieved.
McKim presents his materials under two major rubrics, "Ecclesiastical Traditions" and "Theological Positions." The former includes classical and contemporary Roman Catholic views on the subject matter, as well as Lutheran, Reformed, and Anabaptist alternatives.
Here McKim focuses upon ten "theological options" that are available today, all of which "have their own ways of understanding the nature of Scripture and its appropriate interpretation." The list includes liberal, fundamentalist, scholastic, neo-orthodox, neo-evangelical, existential, process, story, liberation, and feminist theology.

 The Fraction in the Coptic Orthodox Liturgy
Whereas in the West, prescriptive rubrics are relatively easily obtained, in the East it seems that this has rarely, if ever, been the case.
Rubricated liturgical texts in English of the Coptic rite do exist, but the rubrics they provide tend to be extremely vague or else of uncertain authority.
(Shepherd 1961:44) The rubrics of the Stowe Missal, probably describing the liturgy used in Ireland in the ninth century, prescribed that the Fraction should occur in seven different forms, according to the Feasts of the Church, but the broken Body was always arranged in the form of a cross.

 Royal Commission on Ecclesiastical Discipline
On none of these occasions was the result wholly satisfactory, only a partial measure of conformity to the rubrics being established, and even this not without secession on the part of many of the recalcitrants.
At the revision of the Prayer Book in 1662 the directions of the rubrics were rendered fuller and more detailed, and a new Act of Uniformity was passed; but the attempt then made to enforce universal compliance was quickly abandoned.
Departures from the directions of the rubrics during this period, though mainly of a different character from those chiefly complained of in the present time, were nevertheless real departures from the provisions of the Acts of Uniformity and the requirements of the Book of Common Prayer.
