I do not know much about Msgr. Ravelli, but, hopefully, he carries on Abp Marini's work respecting and celebrating our liturgical traditions.
ByzRus,
I think you mean Bishop Marini
TJM,
You are likely correct. I've not been following his progression closely.
Archbishop Marini was the previous one to Bishop Marini.
