Is Divine Mercy Sunday optional?
[Father Chris Alar](https://marian.org/marians/meet/chris-alar) a Marian father who does a great job of promoting Divine Mercy devotion mentioned on the [US Grace Force podcast](https://open.spotify.com/episode/5WwNwbQkmF3ozcBGO4EKMe?si=7e54346347fa4c19) that the Missals saying "2nd Sunday of Easter...
[Father Chris Alar](https://marian.org/marians/meet/chris-alar) a Marian father who does a great job of promoting Divine Mercy devotion mentioned on the [US Grace Force podcast](https://open.spotify.com/episode/5WwNwbQkmF3ozcBGO4EKMe?si=7e54346347fa4c19) that the Missals saying "2nd Sunday of Easter or Divine Mercy Sunday" was a mistranslation, that there's not an option and that everyone is supposed to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday. That the "or" that we've seen in recent missals should be translated "namely". Are there any other instances of feast days (especially Feasts celebrating God) that are optional? Do they use the same wording, are there any other feasts that use the word "or" which are not optional?

What rubric, canon, and/or rules forbid(s) the use of recorded music in a Tridentine Missa Cantata?
The question is related to this one: [What is the basis for forbidding prerecorded music in worship services?][1] However, I am interested in the Catholic perspective.

The question is related to this one: What is the basis for forbidding prerecorded music in worship services? However, I am interested in the Catholic perspective. What are the canons, rules, and/or rubrics that argue against the use of pre-recorded music during a Sung Mass, specifically, a Sung Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite? I know pre-recorded music is not allowed because I've had seminarian friends, ex-seminarian friends, and priest friends expressly tell me so. But I need a source to help them back up their claims against a priest who has allowed the use of audio recordings of the chants and propers during Sung Mass. Many thanks!

Where to find the up to date catholic missals for each languages?
I was able to find a latin missal (cf. [MISSALE ROMANUM](http://www.sanctamissa.org/en/resources/missale-romanum.pdf), from 1962), but what I would like to find are translations in other languages (and the more recent "editio typica tertia").

I was able to find a latin missal (cf. [MISSALE ROMANUM](http://www.sanctamissa.org/en/resources/missale-romanum.pdf) , from 1962), but what I would like to find are translations in other languages (and the more recent "editio typica tertia"). I guess those should be all available on the vatican website, but where? I am specifically interested in the Korean translation, as I am currently living there and it would help a lot in following the mass and learning the language. Ideally, it would be best if I could find those in an editable format, so I can merge Latin and Korean in one pdf or ebook. Edit : I found the Latin editio typica tertia on archive.org here . It is 1220 pages and it looks like the real deal. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can confirm? This is the kind of edition I would like to find in other languages...

Does the Anglican Use have the capacity and resources to celebrate daily mass and if so, are there any Ordinariate communities which do?
In the Roman rite we have the Tridentine liturgy (Extraordinary form) and the Novus Ordo liturgy (Ordinary form). Both of these liturgies have unique liturgical calendars, and unique cycles of scripture readings and liturgical prayers (aka "Propers") that cover every day of the year. The Tridentine...
In the Roman rite we have the Tridentine liturgy (Extraordinary form) and the Novus Ordo liturgy (Ordinary form). Both of these liturgies have unique liturgical calendars, and unique cycles of scripture readings and liturgical prayers (aka "Propers") that cover every day of the year. The Tridentine Liturgy completes a cycle every year, while the Novus Ordo takes 3 years to complete a single cycle. The important point is that it is possible for a priest to say mass on *any* day of the week on *any* day of the year using either of these liturgies and there will be associated prayers and readings specially selected for that particular day. My question is, does the Anglican Ordinariate also have it's own exhaustive liturgical calendar, with set readings and prayers for every day of the year? Such that an Anglican Ordinariate Community could celebrate mass in the Anglican Use on any day of the week on any day of the year and still have their own unique set of readings and prayers for that particular day of the week? And a follow up question, if the Anglican Use *does* have it's own cycle of prayers and readings, are there any Anglican Ordinariate communities who do indeed celebrate mass every day of the week, every day of the year according to this cycle of readings?
