Some Catholics may not be aware that the rubrics for the Mass of Pope Paul VI actually assume that the priest might be celebrating parts of Holy Mass facing the altar (towards God).
It is often erroneously believed that this posture is only appropriate if you are a throwback, medieval, cranky, backwards, Dark Ages, kook.
Well, the Holy Father continues to show us how the Extraordinary Form is reminding the Ordinary Form of its roots. Today, the Holy Father celebrated the Ordinary Form of the Roman Missal, "Versus Deum" using the Sistine Chapel's high altar!
