New +Roche interview: “All that is taking place” with #TraditionisCustodes “is the regulation of the former liturgy of 1962 Missal by stopping the promotion of that. The Council [put] forward a new liturgy...& to resist that is...really quite serious, too.”vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2…
“There has never been a controversy about the liturgy in the way we are experiencing it today, partly because there’s never before been 2 versions of the Roman Missal—[the 1962] & then the [1970] which was produced with the full force of [Vatican II] & promulgated by [Paul VI].”
“As the Holy Father has pointed out in his #Traditioniscustodes, there is one liturgical law which assists us in our belief in transmitting the Church’s doctrine. So, the reform of the liturgy is really a very important matter today & also not something to be taken as an option.”
“But one of the problems…of our age is the growth in individualism & relativism, that ‘I prefer this.’ Well, the celebration of the Mass isn’t...a matter of personal choice…The Church…regulate[s] the form of liturgy it’s come to believe is more pertinent for a particular age.”
“Fr [Jozef Andreas] Jungmann, an Austrian Jesuit who [died in 1975] showed how over the centuries the Mass has been changed…in order to fit the needs of the day. And the resistance to this is quite a serious matter, which [#PopeFrancis] has pointed out in #TraditionisCustodes.”
“So, all that is taking place [with TC] is the regulation of the former [1962] liturgy …by stopping [its] promotion, because...the Council [put] forward a new liturgy…for the Church’s vitality. And that’s really very important. And to resist that is…really quite serious, too.”
