Reform of the reform gathering pace

Rorate Caeli has the translation of an article in yesterday's Il Giornale by the respected vaticanista Andrea Tornielli. (See: The "Reform of the Reform" is in motion)

Apparently a document with several propositions regarding the newer form of the Roman Rite has been submitted to the Holy Father for his approval. Some of the propositions deal with the use of Latin, communion in the hand, and the orientation of the priest.

This is all most encouraging. Opposition to the older form of the Roman Rite often goes hand-in-hand with an approach to the newer form that has little to do with the tradition of the Church and embraces the "hermeneutic of rupture".

I suspect that the over paid "hangers-on" in Eccleston Square are now plotting and planning opposition to the Reform of the reform!

Fantastic news. I read the orginal article by Tornielli a few days ago.

Fr, did you read 'The Shack'? What are your conclusions about the book? Maybe I missed your post on it already?

Father, I looked for an email link and thought I would just ask you here. Would you let your readers know that the blog 'de cura animarum' is back in business and I am writing again? Thanks for this!

Daniel - I did read "The Shack" and have some things to say about it (mostly negative). Will get round to that soon.

Jeffrey - many thanks.

Not according to this article!. Sad isn't it!.

Fr Tim Finigan said...

Yes, I saw that denial. "So far there are no institutional proposals for amendment of the books currently in use."

Tornielli's piece did not actually say that there was a proposal for an amendment of the books. He was talking about ad orientem, communion on the tongue, ending abuses and inappropriate creativity.

So it is rather a "non denial denial".
