More discussion on the Apostolic Exhortation
More discussion on the Apostolic Exhortation that’s expected soon from the Vatican…..and also the rumored Motu Proprio for the Tridentine….
at Rorate Coeli and at Fr Z’s siteAnd from Envoy Magazine:
“Another notable newsworthy item that Msgr. Schmitz delivered at his February 19, hour-long presentation during the question-and-answer period was that Archbishop Piero Marini, whom many had speculated would have been removed long ago, has finally accepted another assignment.
“The Pope is before all else, a gentlemen,” Msgr. Schmitz said, clarifying for many Catholics in the room why this particular step has taken as long as it has. Vaticanists have expected this move ever since the beginning of Pope Benedict’s pontificate. Msgr. Schmitz did not give any details as to the nature of Archbishop Marini’s new assignment.
As Cardinal Ratzinger, the current pope was openly critical of the style of many of the public liturgies for large gatherings of people during Pope John Paul’s world travels throughout his pontificate. Archbishop Marini, a reported disciple of Archbishop Annibale Bugnini, the primary architect of the post-conciliar liturgical reform, was the mastermind behind these creative” liturgies.”
This is very important because many parishes took their cues as to what was allowable from the atmosphere of the televised masses orchestrated by Abp. Marini. Soon you should see more reverence and better music on those televised masses.
