Thesen zum Thema ‘Zehn Jahre Vaticanum II’

“It was right and proper to open up the liturgy to the vernacular; even the Council of Trent saw it as a possibility. Furthermore, it is simply untrue to say, as the integralists do, that drawing up new forms of the Canon of the Mass is a contradiction of Trent.”

The Ratzinger Report, pp. 123-124

“In order to explain the rapid and almost total abandonment of the ancient, common language, we must also take into account a fundamental cultural change in Western public education. Even in the early sixties when I was a professor, it was possible to read Latin text to young people coming straight from German secondary schools. Nowadays, this is no longer possible.”

Pope Benedict XVI approved of the NO Mass. You need to stop thinking of him as some "deus vult throwback". In many ways he was just as liberal as Pope Francis I.

He is a sweet and loving servant of God. Don't tarnish his memory with your LARPing.

Feast of Faith, p. 87

“Lest there be any misunderstanding, let me add that as far as its content is concerned (apart from a few criticisms), I am very grateful for the new Missal, for the way it has enriched the treasury of prayers and prefaces, for the new eucharistic prayers and the increased number of texts for use on weekdays, etc., quite apart from the availability of the vernacular. But I do regard it as unfortunate that we have been presented with the idea of a new book rather than with that of continuity within a single liturgical history. In my view, a new edition will need to make it quite clear that the so-called Missal of Paul VI is nothing other than a renewed form of the same Missal to which Pius X, Urban VIII, Pius V and their predecessors have contributed, right from the Church’s earliest history.”

I came back to God even because of this person…may he find rest after this life when his time will come.
