Extract

In its Liturgy the Roman Church has always insisted on ‘Uniformity’, but even today there are a few local exceptions. One of the most interesting of these, the rite of the archdiocese of Braga, in the northwest of Portugal, has attracted very little external interest, but it has many points that repay study.
