Pointing to the middle ages for example won't do a thing, because they'll cite Pius XII stance on "liturgical archaeologism", while ignoring the fact that a versus populum altar itself is misguided liturgical archaeologism. I'd say being 'traditionalist' and ultramontane requires a good amount of Orwellian doublethink.<br /><br />You're right, I shouldn't be surprised. But yes, liturgically, his lack of interest should be a welcome change.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820001463809982324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-7343476107776341482013-03-15T13:16:59.137+00:002013-03-15T13:16:59.137+00:00It may ''hide'' the priest from vi...It may ''hide'' the priest from view but the abuse is still there, so the theory is bollocks.<br /><br />Pope Francis will not forbid anything enacted by Benedict, as this is bad for business. I think he will just let things slide and eventually fizzle out. Who knows, if he's still around in 2020 he may deliver the final blow and abolish Summorum Pontificum after seven years of not pandering to the Traddies, but one can only hope.<br /><br />''It's not a good sign that he dropped the fanon, which dates back to the eight century, but kept the benedictine altar arrangement.'' Well, quite, but latter day popes aren't renowned for their knowledge of or care for Liturgy, so are you really surprised? Still, this one seems a welcome change to pope Betty!Patrick Sheridanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995907911415177074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-36697269855493154552013-03-15T12:47:20.467+00:002013-03-15T12:47:20.467+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820001463809982324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-12692070745500878202013-03-15T11:36:19.787+00:002013-03-15T11:36:19.787+00:00Yes, because a row of six candlesticks and a cruci...Yes, because a row of six candlesticks and a crucifix really makes a liturgical abuse more acceptable...puleeeez. An altar crucifix is itself superfluous, and a rather late addition; and it makes the addition of another one (in front and behind the celebrant) just ridiculous!<br /><br />Nevertheless I am rather glad we now have such a pope.

A versus populum altar was added to the Sistine chapel, with a "Benedictine arrangement". His Latin is a bit shabby.<br /><br />It could have been worse.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820001463809982324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-14526015719247199602013-03-14T19:35:53.106+00:002013-03-14T19:35:53.106+00:00"I have turned once again to the subject of I..."I have turned once again to the subject of Innocent III's liturgical reform"<br /><br />Great!
