My great-uncle (d.1965) was a priest of the CSSp and his Superior General from 1962 was Marcel Lefebvre. Lefebvre could claim with considerable authority that the post-V2 liturgical changes were not wanted in the mission territories; he resigned in 1968 because he felt he could not prevail against the Modernist trends which were sweeping through all the religious Orders, his own included.<br /><br />Sarah took over a dicastery which had only recently been purged of the Ratzingerians and whose new undersecretary was a disciple of Piero Marini; I wouldn't expect too much from the CDWDS. A similar purge took place in the office for papal ceremonies, leaving Guido Marini somewhat out on a limb.<br /><br />Sarah might be an African since he is a native of that continent; culturally he is as much a Frenchman as is the Archbishop of Paris. To be French is primarily a cultural construct, whereas to be English is primarily a racial one.

But then, for decades, our Popes have done that. They promote Tradition and novelties.<br /><br />In regard to Pope Francis' recent excursions into the liturgical war...<br /><br />MEXICO CITY, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- "Pope Francis presented a decree to Mexico's indigenous peoples officially allowing the use of three native languages in the country to be used during mass."<br /><br />VATICAN CITY, Jan. 21 (UPI) -- "A decree by Pope Francis, issued Thursday, expressly includes women in the traditional Holy Thursday rite of foot-washing."<br /><br />Pax.<br /><br />Mark ThomasMark Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-29033090627670658132016-03-11T07:54:57.781-05:002016-03-11T07:54:57.781-05:00I found it amusing that the editor of that progres...I found it amusing that the editor of that progressive couldn't bring himself to consider the possibility that maybe Francis sees Sarah's/Benedict's position on liturgy as valuable even though he doesn't share it 100%. After all, Francis didn't get rid of all of the changes in the papal liturgy that Benedict made (e.g. the crucifix in front of the celebrant). Also, the few times that Francis has waded into the liturgy wars he has criticized a lack of a sense of adoration as primary in contemporary liturgies, and this is one of the main things that Sarah criticizes. Again, it's interesting that this progressive blog has conveniently missed those comments of Francis and never acknowledges their existence. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
