I have no more time for a cafeteria approach to dogma than for Bugnini/Marini's cafeteria approach to liturgy.<BR/><BR/>One can be right about one thing and dead wrong about others. (Perhaps she hasn't yet come to terms with the implications in other areas of what she has discovered about the liturgy.)<BR/><BR/>My apologies if my pseudonym offended you.

It appears that Pickstock prefers to pick and choose.

They embody a false understanding of the nature of liturgy and of liturgical development.<BR/><BR/>I'd also argue that Bugini/Marini misinterpreted the intentions of the the Fathers of the Council.<BR/><BR/>(Of course the rot had already set in with Pius XII. Easter Vigil in the evening of Holy Saturday? Quite ridiculous!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4227944112880631342.post-1839104619349494602008-04-23T12:00:00.000+01:002008-04-23T12:00:00.000+01:00I am very glad to be assured that we do not stand ...I am very glad to be assured that we do not stand in front of the tribunal seat of Fr Teather.Fr Ivan D Aquilinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14270373758808070200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4227944112880631342.post-7350694735172352332008-04-23T08:42:00.000+01:002008-04-23T08:42:00.000+01:00Having read 'the Reform of the Liturgy', I think t...Having read 'the Reform of the Liturgy', I think that Bugnini was a master politician and lobbyist but I am unsure of the sanctity of his ways or, for that matter, the nature of his reforms. He was certainly fully human, but to the extent that he pushed for reforms which, time is showing, are neither long lasting or necessary. The interim Missal which should have been published is the natural fruit of reform and is being returned to gradually. Most certainly reform was needed, but like the communists jumping the bandwagon of true socialism and then perverting that good thing, Bugnini jumped on the reform wagon and used it as a personal vehicle.Andrew Teatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798561923201177418noreply@blogger.com
