More Liturgical House Keeping
On a personal note: the fingers are nice and warm again today. The HVAC guy came today and replaced the bad ignition switch–happy days. My landlord who was in town on Christmas break was kind enough to stay let him in. On a more sober note, it looks like multiple by-pass surgery for Tricia’s dad will take place tomorrow. Serious stuff, but at 83 it is quite so. Prayers would be much obliged if anyone is so inclined. As Tricia will be helping her parents during her dad’s recovery, it looks like I will continue to be what we used to call a “class-B bachelor” in the Air Force, for some time to come. By the way, thanks to those who have already kindly inquired on this. On to the liturgical post…
Sandro Magister said in his article today that B16 has confidentially directed the Neo-Catechumenal Way to begin to purge their liturgies of those innovations which are at odds with the current rubrics. This group, highly favored by JP the Great, had said that John Paul gave them verbal authorization for the innovations. I do not doubt them but I have to admit that I think their innovations are by and large, problematic for the same reasons, apparently, as does B16. This presents another data point supporting my sense that we are going to see a reform of the reform in earnest under our new Holy Father.
