From:

Father Joseph Fessio writes:
"It is a sad fact that the liturgy has too long been in the hands of
self-appointed experts, many of whom are openly hostile to essential
Catholic teaching. Far too many liturgical commissions function as
political pressure groups with a self-perpetuauting membership, rather
than as agencies genuinely fostering greater understanding and
appropriation of --and actual participation in-- the Church's worship.
And in the United States (as elsewhere) even conferences of bishops,
relying on these liturgical commissions, have permitted liturgical
changes which have contributed to an impoverishment rather than an
enrichment of the liturgy."

An excerpt:
"When the option of standing for Communion was allowed
(with the provision that the recipient make an alternative sign of
reverence),
it was often encouraged as the only way to receive Communion,
even unlawfully, whereas the practice of receiving Holy Communion
kneeling was frowned upon and disappeared quickly as the sun passing
behind an array of clouds."

**Crisis Magazine Review of the book
http://www.crisismagazine.com/january2002/book2.htm
A quote from the review:
"The "active participation" fraud that has been enforced in Catholic
liturgy with fascist efficiency, causing many a beautiful church to be
destroyed or maimed, is based on an erroneous translation of a term in
the
Vatican II document Sacrosanctum Concilium. As Rose points out,
that document never uses the word activa, a word that would preclude any
contemplative aspect to participation. Rather it uses the term actuosa
participatio, which combines both the contemplative (internal)
and active (external) aspects of participation."

"The first key concept which has been misinterpreted and

It has been mistranslated as "active participation" which,
in English,
can imply that for participation to be genuine it must
involve physical
activity. For a proper understanding of he phrase, one can
paraphrase
the original Latin of the 1958 instruction, De musica
sacra, to say
that participation ought to be internal and, certainly,
exercised
with a spirit of piety and heartfelt affection. Given this
understanding
of the concept, "actual participation" might be a more
accurate
translation. In any event, the liturgical "establishment's"
understanding has had pernicious consequences, such as the
attentive
assistance at Mass and participation in the changes in
posture or
responses being dismissed by some liturgists as inadequate.
Thus, communion rails are destroyed, altars thrust forward
like
theaters-in-the-round, statues are removed and the Blessed
Sacrament banished, since their presence would inhibit a
maximum
of activity, which inevitably deteriorates into mere
busyness."

Bishop Bruskewitz Deplores Modernist Church Renovations
March 13, 2001
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Ithaca/3251/genreno.html
From Pope Paul VI's Address:
"The primacy of the Eucharist does not in any way justify
arbitrarily
stripping church-established worship of the sacral and aesthetic
forms that surround it and present it to the people of God. Such a
course would do more than cast aside the elements of art gracing
divine worship; it would trivialize the meaning of the mystery
celebrated, undermine the principles of community prayer, and
could lead ultimately to doubt or even denial of the reality of
the
sacrament of the Eucharist."
Bishop Bruskewitz's statement:
"In the last few decades, much of Catholic Church art and
architecture has
suffered from the ravages of intentional iconoclasm. Inspiration
for church design
and furnishing has been weighted in favor of the Greek gymnasium,
to the
detriment of Jerusalem's temple. As a result, many of our
churches fail to lift our
minds and hearts to the things of God--to the sacrificial nature
of Holy Mass and
to the Real Presence of Christ in His most Blessed Sacrament. Our
faith has
suffered for it.

Immersed in controversy - fonts or pools?
by Susan J. Benofy
2003
http://www.adoremus.org/0203BaptismFonts.html
(An excerpt)
"The radical reconfiguration of church interiors, it is by now clear,
is not merely a matter of updating style to reflect "modern" tastes,
or even of a functionalist approach to church architecture.
It is, in fact, a determined and systematic re-symbolization,
reflecting a fundamentally altered liturgical theology.
The substitution of pools for baptismal fonts is an important part
of re-imaging, of re-writing the rite. Like relocating the altar and
the tabernacle, eliminating kneelers, altar rails, images and
confessionals, its objective is the architectural enforcement
of a 'new way of being church'.'

Bowed Heads, Renewed Hope
A spiritual renewal is occurring in Rome as the world turns toward
war.
October 12, 2001
http://Archives.InsideThevatican.com/news/index.php?fdate=20011012&window=showfile#132550
(An excerpt)
"In recent weeks, two mentions of the old liturgy have reminded us of
how much we have lost and of how it might change our worship
if it could be regained.
Three weeks ago, Pope John Paul II, in an address to the Vatican's
liturgy office, praised the missal of Pope Pius V - the missal of
the
Latin Mass - in the most direct way.
'The People of God has a need to see in priests and
deacons a way
of acting full of reverence and of dignity, capable of
helping it to
penetrate to the things that are invisible, even without
many
words and explanations," John Paul II told the plenary
session of
the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of
the
Sacraments on September 21. "In the Roman Missal, called
the
Missal of St. Pius V, as in many eastern Liturgies, there
are very
beautiful prayers in which the priest expresses the most
profound
sense of humility and of reverence in front of the holy
mysteries:
these prayers reveal the very substance of every liturgy."'
The complete text of the Pope's address.
http://www.adoremus.org/1201-0102PopeJPIILitAssemb.html
A fuller excerpt from the Pope's address:
"3. The celebration of the Liturgy is an act
of the virtue of religion
that, consistent with its nature, must be
characterized by a profound
sense of the sacred. In this, man and the
entire community must be
aware of being, in a special way, in the
presence of Him who is three
times holy and transcendent. Consequently, the
attitude of imploring
cannot but be permeated by reverence and by
the sense of awe that
comes from knowing that one is in the presence
of the majesty of God.
Did God not want to express this when He
ordered Moses to take off
his sandals before the burning bush? Did not
the attitude of Moses
and Eli who dared not look at God facie ad
faciem [face to face] arise
from this awareness?
The People of God need to see priests and
deacons behave in a way
that is full of reverence and dignity, in
order to help them to
penetrate invisible things without unnecessary
words or explanations.
In the Roman Missal of Saint Pius V, as in
several Eastern liturgies,
there are very beautiful prayers through which
the priest expresses
the most profound sense of humility and
reverence before the
Sacred Mysteries: they reveal the very
substance of the Liturgy."
---------------------
*The Oxford Declaration on Liturgy
1996
(First two paragraphs)
http://www.cin.org/oxfdecl.html
"(The appearance of the Oxford Declaration and the immediate
response to it is one indication of the fact that a revived liturgical
movement is now gaining strength and confidence in England as
well as the United States. The Declaration was published in the
name of the Liturgy Forum of the Centre for Faith and Culture,
constituted under the chairmanship of Mgr Peter J. Elliott,
a Vatican official and author of Ceremonies of the Roman Rite,
at the conclusion of the Centre's summer conference).
1. Reflecting on the history of liturgical renewal and reform since
the Second Vatican Council, the Liturgy Forum agreed that there
have been many positive results. Among these might be mentioned
the introduction of the vernacular, the opening up of the treasury of
the Sacred Scriptures, increased participation in the liturgy and the
enrichment of the process of Christian initiation. However, the
Forum concluded that the preconciliar liturgical movement as well
as the manifest intentions of Sacrosanctum Concilium have in large
part been frustrated by powerful contrary forces, which could be
described as bureaucratic, philistine and secularist.
2. The effect has been to deprive the Catholic people of much of
their liturgical heritage. Certainly, many ancient traditions of sacred
music, art and architecture have been all but destroyed,
Sacrosanctum Concilium gave pride of place to Gregorian
chant, yet in many places this "sung theology" of the Roman liturgy
has disappeared without trace. Our liturgical heritage is not a
superficial embellishment of worship but should properly be
regarded as intrinsic to it, as it is also to the process of
transmitting
the Catholic faith in education and evangelization. Liturgy cannot be
separated from culture; it is the living font of a Christian
civilization
and hence has profound ecumenical significance."

The Liturgy Forum
http://www.secondspring.co.uk/magazine/liturgyforum.htm
A Quote:
"Throughout the years of the Liturgical Movement, as well as at
the outset of the
Second Vatican Council's reform of the liturgy, it
appeared to many as if striving for
the correct liturgical form were a purely pragmatic
matter, a search for the form of
worship most accessible to the people of our time. Since
then it has become
increasingly clear that liturgy involves our understanding
of God and the world and our
relationship to Christ, the Church, and ourselves. How we
attend to liturgy determines
the fate of the faith and the Church. For this reason
liturgical matters have acquired an
importance today that we were unable to envision before."

"There is an easily and generally propagated error in the minds of
many that active participation, to which the Constitution is inviting
people, is of a purely physical kind. Even listening is a form of
intense
activity. The modern human being, wearied by the noisy and hectic life,
through an attentive listening can find in church music a restful peace
which is the springboard for true prayer. "Music to be listened
to" (the greater part of the Gregorian repertoire,
the multi-voiced singing of the choir, and organ music) is of great
pastoral significance for the education of the people."

9. Issues and Problems in the Current Practice of
the Liturgy.
The Degradation of Catholic Worship
By James Likoudis
Part I
How Others See Us
1995
http://credo.stormloader.com/Liturgy/liturgy1.htm
From Part I:
"Since 1980 Catholic newspapers and periodicals have amply
recorded the sentiments of the faithful regarding the
liturgical
abuses inflicted upon them. As one writer recently noted:
"25 years of abominable liturgical and scriptural
translations
are more than enough" (National Catholic Register 8/27/95).
An impressive panoply of scholars such as the distinguished
editor of
"Sacred Music", Msgr. Richard Schuler, have explained how:
"The Liberal camp (in the Church) have brought about
a
catastrophe in all forms of Catholic worship:
funerals,
weddings, Sunday Masses, school Masses, even
great
ecclesiastical occasions. One is embarrassed,
often ashamed
at the inferior treatment of even the most
holy elements.
This is the same Liberal Establishment that
ruined catechetics,
the religious orders, seminaries and vocations
to the priesthood,
the beauty of our Churches, in a word, the
faith of our people.
How many people have been robbed of their
parish Church by
incompetent and ignorant architectural
consultants who have
been nothing more than 20th Century
iconoclasts? In every
area, the Liberal element has destroyed what
centuries of
Catholic life have passed along - evidencing a
'poorly veiled hatred of the sacred'."
Similarly, the erudite Swiss theologian Fr. Hans Urs von Balthasar lamented:
"An element lacking in good taste has crept into
the Liturgy
since the (falsely interpreted) Vatican II
Council, namely the
joviality and familiarity of the celebrant
with the congregation.
People come, however, for prayer and not a
cozy encounter...
Before and after the Liturgy personal
encounter is entirely
in place, but during the celebration
everyone's attention should be
directed to the One Lord." (from his New
Elucidations)"

**Ad Limina Address of Pope John Paul II to Bishops of the United
States
On Active Participation in the Liturgy
1998
http://www.adoremus.org/JPIIadlim1198.html
(A quote from the Pope's address)
"Active participation certainly means that, in gesture, word, song and
service,
all the members of the community take part in an act of worship, which
is
anything but inert or passive. Yet active participation does not
preclude the
active passivity of silence, stillness and listening: indeed, it
demands it.
Worshippers are not passive, for instance, when listening to the
readings
or the homily, or following the prayers of the celebrant, and the chants
and music of the liturgy. These are experiences of silence and
stillness,
but they are in their own way profoundly active. In a culture which
neither
favors nor fosters meditative quiet, the art of interior listening is
learned
only with difficulty. Here we see how the liturgy, though it must always
be properly inculturated, must also be counter-cultural.
Conscious participation calls for the entire community to be properly
instructed
in the mysteries of the liturgy, lest the experience of worship
degenerate into
a form of ritualism. But it does not mean a constant attempt within the
liturgy
itself to make the implicit explicit, since this often leads to a
verbosity and
informality which are alien to the Roman Rite and end by trivializing
the
act of worship.
Nor does it mean the suppression of all subconscious experience, which
is
vital in a liturgy which thrives on symbols that speak to the
subconscious just as
they speak to the conscious. The use of the vernacular has certainly
opened
up the treasures of the liturgy to all who take part, but this does not
mean tha
the Latin language, and especially the chants which are so superbly
adapted
to the genius of the Roman Rite, should be wholly abandoned. If
subconscious
experience is ignored in worship, an affective and devotional vacuum is
created
and the liturgy can become not only too verbal but also too cerebral."

Cardinal Mahony Wants Liturgy Purged Of All "European" Elements

Gather Faithfully Together
A Guide for Sunday Mass
Cardinal Roger Mahony, Archbishop of Los Angeles
1997
PetersNet Editorial Note:
"The following document won widespread attention when it
was issued as an unfortunate example of how much the
nature of the liturgy can be misunderstood, even by those
in high ecclesiastical office. In general, the document
misunderstands both the nature of liturgy as the Work
of God and the nature of the priest as alter Christus,
thereby reducing the liturgy to the level of a human
celebration. But since the document may be taken as
the summit of what those with a community-centered
vision of the liturgy can achieve, its deficiencies
are particularly instructive."

Ad limina Apostolorum
Bishops of the United States
Liturgical translations must be free of ambiguity and ideology
1993
http://www.miraclerosarymission.org/adlima11.htm
(A quote from the Pope's address)
"One of your responsibilities in this regard, as stewards of the grace
of the supreme priesthood (cf. Lumen gentium, n. 26), is to make
available exact and appropriate translations of the official liturgical
books so that, following the required review and confirmation by
the Holy See (cf. CIC, can. 838, 2-3), they may be an instrument
and guarantee of a genuine sharing in the mystery of Christ and
the Church: lex orandi, lex credendi. The arduous task of
translation must guard the full doctrinal integrity and, according
to the genius of each language, the beauty of the original texts.
When so many people are thirsting for the living God
(Ps 42:2) - whose majesty and mercy are at the heart of liturgical
prayer - the Church must respond with a language of praise and
worship which fosters respect and gratitude for God's greatness,
compassion and power. When the faithful gather to celebrate the
work of our redemption, the language of their prayer - free from
doctrinal ambiguity and ideological influence - should foster the
dignity and beauty of the celebration itself, while faithfully
expressing
the Church's faith and unity (cf. Vicesimus quintus annus, nn. 9 and
21)."

May/June 2001
http://www.ncregister.com/Register_News/McGuire-Stravinskas.htm
From the end of the article:
"What effect has the current translation had?
I think that we can't underestimate how much damage has been
done at a practical levelby having such translations.
Cardinal Arinze and I were having a discussion about this a couple of
years ago.
And I said some of this stuff would be humorous if it wasn't so sad.
You take a simple line in the Creed like visibilium et invisibilium.
A first year Latin student knows that that's visible and invisible.
What does ICEL say? 'Seen and unseen.'
Well there's a world of difference between the two.
I said to Cardinal Arinze, 'let me give you an example.
If I hid under the table I'm unseen, but I'm not invisible.'
He howled with laughter. He has said since then that every
time he says Mass in English he finds himself smirking at that point in
the Mass.
What was the point of that translation? It was precisely to
eliminate reference to the invisible world, which consists of spirits
and angels.
Once again that issue with the soul."

http://www.unavoce.org/cardinal_ratzinger_chile.htm
An excerpt from his remarks:
"While there are many motives that might have led a great number
of people to seek a refuge in the traditional liturgy, the chief
one
is that they find the dignity of the sacred preserved there.
After the Council there were many priests who deliberately raised
'desacralization' to the level of a program . . . . they put
aside the
sacred vestments; they have despoiled the churches as much as
they could of that splendor which brings to mind the sacred; and
they have reduced the liturgy to the language and the gestures of
ordinary life, by means of greetings, common signs of friendship,
and such things."

The Reform of the Roman Liturgy:
Its Problems and Background
(by Msgr. Klaus Gamber) -- Excerpts
http://www.unavoce.org/gambhlts.htm
(An excerpt)
"9)"The Roman Rite, in important parts, goes back at least to
the fourth century, more exactly to the time of Pope Damascus
(366-384). By the time of Gelasius (492-496) the Canon of the
Mass had attained the form it has kept until now, apart from
some modifications made under Pope St. Gregory (590-604).
Since the fifth century, the only thing on which the popes have
unceasingly insisted is that the Roman Canon must be adopted;
their argument being that it originated with the Apostle Peter.
But concerning the other parts of the Order, and the choice of
Propers for Masses, they respected the customs of local churches." (p.
24)
10)'... and we now contemplate at our feet the ruins, not of the
Tridentine Mass, but of the ancient Roman Rite which had
developed and grown to maturity during that long period." (p. 26)"
Missale Romanum
by Joseph Pope
Homiletic & Pastoral Review
March 1995
http://www.ewtn.com/library/LITURGY/MISROMAN.TXT
(The beginning of the article)
"If ever a tome were incorrectly and inappropriately named, it must be
that which these days is all too often referred to as the Tridentine
Missal. It will be the object of this article to show that the Latin
rite used for the celebration of the Mass by those members of the
Catholic Church who come under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate
of the West, which rite had its use severely diminished in 1969 by
Pope Paul VI, was not formed or brought into use by a decree of the
Council of Trent."

Cardinal Ratzinger on the Roman Liturgy
Edited by Barbara A. Schoeneberger
Part I
1998
http://www.geocities.com/unavocespr/articles/ratzinger.html
(An excerpt)
"...I was dismayed by the prohibition of the old missal,
since nothing of the sort had ever happened in the entire
history of the liturgy. The impression was even given that
what was happening was quite normal. The previous missal
had been created by Pius V in 1570 in connection with the
Council of Trent; and so it was quite normal that, after four
hundred years and a new council, a new pope would present
us with a new missal. But the historical truth of the matter
is different. Pius V had simply ordered a reworking of the
Missale Romanum then being used, which is the normal thing
as history develops over the course of centuries.
Many of his successors had likewise reworked this missal
again, but without ever setting one missal against another.
It was a continual process of growth and purification in which
continuity was never destroyed. There is no such thing as a
'Missal of Pius V', created by Pius V himself. There is only
the reworking done by Pius V as one phase in a long
history of growth."

A Reform Of The Reform? (Major article)
Father John Parsons
2001
Part I
http://www.christianorder.com/features/features_2001/features_bonus_nov01.html
(An excerpt)
"When they voted for the conciliar decree on the liturgy,
the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council never imagined
that they were launching a process whereby the Mass rite that
most of them had known all their lives would disappear. They
thought, as they declared in their decree on the Oriental Churches,
that the various rites were of equal dignity and that "the Catholic
Church wishes the traditions of each particular church or rite
to remain whole and entire". In decreeing a reform of the
Roman Rite, the Council Fathers did not authorise the introduction
of alternatives to the Roman Canon as the sole eucharistic prayer;
yet many have been introduced. The Council Fathers did not
authorise the destruction of the immemorial Roman Lectionary;
yet it was destroyed. The Council Fathers did not authorise a
recasting of the annual cycle of Sundays or any change to the
very ancient Sunday collects; yet both these changes were made.
The Council Fathers did not authorise a redistribution of saints days;
yet that is what was undertaken. The Council Fathers did not
authorise the abandonment or tendentious alteration of over
eighty percent of the orations(Collects, Secrets and Postcommunions)
throughout the Missal; yet this momentous step was taken."

"Eastern Presuppositions" and Western Liturgical Renewal
2000
http://praiseofglory.com/taftliturgy.htm
by Robert Taft, S.J.
( An excerpt from the section "Witness of the East".)
"Here too, if the west would learn something pastoral
from the east, it must stop getting tripped up in its own cliches.
Liturgy should avoid repetitions? Repetition is of the essence of
ritual behavior.
Liturgy should offer variety? Too much variety is the enemy of popular
participation.
Liturgy should be creative? Indeed--but whose creativity?
Most contemporary western liturgical creativity is just one
more cover for neo-clericalism. The liturgical "creators"
do not mean the creativity of the People of God, but of the
celebrant and of the liturgical-establishment professionals.
There is a sameness and a familiarity and a repetitiveness
that is at the very basis of day-to-day human culture.
Men and women who wish to gather to praise God must learn
a similar regularity and consistency, or their prayer will not survive.
Our people are sick to death of professional coteries constantly
reinventing the wheel."
