A Role of Service to the Church
What is Una Voce?
The International Una Voce Federation
UVA Membership Form
Interview from Sursum Corda Magazine
"The International Una Voce Federation has played an important role in supporting the use of the 1962 edition of the Roman Missal in obedience to the directives of the Holy See. For this valuable service I express my gratitude to the members of the Federation and extend my blessing."
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, speaking to the Una Voce Federation,
25 July 1996
This webpage is designed to communicate information regarding and related to Una Voce's mission of service to the Church.
A discussion of Gregorian/Tridentine liturgical and spiritual life will often touch upon theological, historical, aesthetic, ecclesiological, or social influences and factors in the life of the Church. As such, it is often beneficial to provide a range of thought, all within the limits of orthodox doctrine and practice, to give a broader view of the issues of importance to this organization.
We would like to point out that opinions presented on this webpage do not necessarily represent the position of Una Voce leadership or members. Additionally, links are provided for information purposes and Una Voce does not necessarily endorse all of the content of webpages linked to www.unavoce.org.
We stress that Una Voce does not support or countenance any schismatic or heretical movements. Our mission is to support only the celebration of the Tridentine/Gregorian Rite Mass within the Church, in union with the Holy See and the bishops united with the Supreme Pontiff of the Church as permitted through the 1988 indult, Ecclesia Dei adflicta.
Una Voce's objective is to help support reconciliation within the Church and we carry out that service in union with her lawful pastors and under their guidance.
The mission of Una Voce is, and has been since its founding in 1964, the promotion and support of the traditional Latin Mass within the Church, in union with Rome. Our mission is not directly concerned with other political or social teachings such as the correct understanding of Church/State relations, theological explorations into the question of baptism or salvation outside the Church, and the canonical status of separated Christian groups. The mission of Una Voce is limited to a promotion of the celebration of the Gregorian/Gelasian Latin Mass.
Any writings presented on this webpage are believed to be fully orthodox and in perfect compliance with the teaching magisterium of the Church. We accept that the 1969 Novus Ordo of Pope Paul VI is a valid rite of Mass. We accept that the Second Vatican Council was a valid Ecumenical Council of the Church and we hold that its teachings are to be given the appropriate respect in relation to authority of its decrees.
In those cases where criticism of reformable policies or pastoral decisions of the Church is warranted, we offer opinions not as a means of judging the Church or her leaders, but only as permitted to the faithful in accordance with Canon 212 paragraph 3 of the Code of Canon Law.
We trust that those who read the materials presented on this webpage will understand them within the context of the mission of Una Voce, and not seek to exaggerate or draw false inferences from what is written. We hope that all who visit this website will draw from it a deeper respect for the Latin liturgical tradition of the Church, and gain encouragement and strength for their own spiritual growth..
We welcome corrections or updates to any information presented herein and we hope that readers will find these resources of value and benefit.
