Liturgy Q&A

On Blessings

Question: Upon reading your older article on the use of the older Book of Blessings, I noticed the defense of using it depends on Summorum Pontificum. However, with this being abrogated by Traditionis Custodis, are clergy and laity in the U.S. now bound to the use of the Book of Blessings provided by the U.S. bishops’ conference? Specifically, I foresaw using the old blessing of salt and water (and the mixing of the two) for families, etc. Would this be allowed now? — K.K., Austin, Texas
