===Holy Sacrifice of the Mass ===

[[File:Calvário, oficina de André Reinoso.jpg|thumb|right|230px|''Calvário'' by [[:pt:André Reinoso|André Reinoso]]. For Palmarians, the Holy Mass is a propitiatory sacrifice, the [[Crucifixion of Jesus|sacrifice of Jesus Christ at Calvary]], with the Virgin Mary suffering at the foot of the Cross, not a commemorative supper.]]
The very first proclamation of the Pontificate of Pope Gregory XVII, on 8 August 1978, reestablished the "Holy Latin [[Tridentine Mass]] of St. Pius V" as the obligatory liturgical form and [[anathema]]tised the [[New Order of Mass]] introduced ''c.'' 1970 as "confused, ambiguous, equivocal and heretical", forbidding the Palmarian Catholic faithful from serving at it, as well as forbidding the faithful from receiving the [[Holy Eucharist]] in the hand or standing.<ref name="clementedocs">{{Cite web |date=2017-08-29 |title=The Pontifical Documents of His Holiness Pope Gregory XVII|url=https://magnuslundbergblog.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/pontifical-documents-1978-1980.pdf |access-date=2023-10-18 |website=Magnus Lundberg |language=en}}</ref> The reason given for this was to emphasise the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as a propitiatory sacrifice, the [[Crucifixion of Jesus|sacrifice of Calvary]], something which it claimed the New Order lacked (as well as being "elaborated and confected by heretics").<ref name="clementedocs"/> Palmarian Papal documents pillory the New Order as a "[[Lutheran]] supper", suggesting the Vatican is now compromised by [[Protestant]] theological precepts.<ref name="clementedocs"/>

On 22 July 1980, Pope Gregory XVII reported a vision in which [[Pope Pius V]] appeared and advised him to make some alterations to the Tridentine Mass that he had originally promulgated in his papal bull ''[[Quo primum]]''. From this year onward, their Mass began to be called the "Latin-Tridentine-Palmarian Rite".<ref name=":3" /> Finally, on 9 October 1983, the Apostolic Constitution and Dogmatic Definitions promulgated the ''Holy Palmarian Mass of His Holiness Pope Gregory XVII''. This briefer Mass, based on the Tridentine, is concentrated to three "essential" parts; the [[offertory]], [[Transubstantiation|consecration]] and [[Eucharist in the Catholic Church|sacrificial communion]], making it around five minutes long. Therefore, Palmarian Catholic clergy do not celebrate an individual Mass, but numerous turns of Masses.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |date=2017-08-29 |title=The Palmarian Order of Mass |url=https://magnuslundberg.net/2017/08/29/the-palmarian-order-of-the-mass/ |access-date=2023-10-18 |website=Magnus Lundberg |language=en}}</ref> The underlying reason for this revision, was that with so few Catholic priests in the world celebrating valid Masses, because of the introduction of the "illegitimate" (in Palmarian eyes) Novus Ordo and with so much [[Satisfaction theory of atonement|atonement to God]] to be made for the sins of corrupted humanity, reducing the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to its bare essentials would enable the sacrificing priesthood to be able to say many Masses consecutively. This was in light of the First Palmarian Council and the ''Treatise on the Mass''.

According to Palmarian doctrine, [[Transubstantiation|the body, soul and blood of Christ is present in the consecrated bread and wine]]. In addition to this, the Virgin Mary is spiritually and really present in the Holy Eucharist, as her suffering at the foot of the cross is seen as an essential component of the sacrifice of Calvary, which the Mass is as a propitiatory sacrifice. To communicate a person must be in a state of grace; otherwise, it constitutes a sacrilege. Communion should only be taken on the tongue and the recipient must be kneeling when receiving the sacrament. The communion of the faithful is only received in one species; they only receive the Eucharistic bread. If due to long distances to the nearest Palmarian priest, it is not possible to attend Mass, the faithful should pray a [[Rosary|penitential rosary]] instead. According to the precepts of the church, Palmarians should take communion at least every third month, but almost all Masses in the Basilica in El Palmar de Troya are celebrated without lay people taking communion. Still, if in a state of grace, a layperson is allowed to communicate several times per day.<ref name=":3" />
