Could a Catholic priest potentially use a digital tablet (iPad, etc.) for the Lectionary or the Book of the Gospels during mass?
It seems the Rome has not yet pronounced on this matter officially. Yet the New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference has made a statement on this subject matter. They responded in the negative.
When the priest is finished proclaiming the Gospel at mass, he reverently kisses the Lectionary. This would seem like a lack of liturgical decorum to kiss some sort of electronic devices.
