Liturgical Norms & Guidelines

"Regulation of the sacred liturgy depends solely on the authority of the Church, that is, on the Apostolic See and, as laws may determine, on the bishop... Therefore no other person, even if he be a priest, may add, remove, or change anything in the liturgy on his own authority."
