I. Who Celebrates?

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1140
It is the whole community, the Body of Christ united with its Head, that
celebrates. “Liturgical services are not private functions but are
celebrations of the Church which is ‘the sacrament of unity,’ namely, the holy
people united and organized under the authority of the bishops. Therefore,
liturgical services pertain to the whole Body of the Church. They manifest it,
and have effects upon it. But they touch individual members of the Church in
different ways, depending on their orders, their role in the liturgical
services, and their actual participation in them.”⁷ For this
reason, “rites which are meant to be celebrated in common, with the
faithful present and actively participating, should as far as possible be celebrated
in that way rather than by an individual and quasi-privately.”⁸
