A vote on Defense of the Conciliar Reform of Liturgy

Abstract

The article is a vote in discussion about the conciliar reform of liturgy, that is today not seldom criticized, or even questioned by the followers of the former Roman rite. For that reason the conciliar theology of liturgy is briefly recalled. Proper understanding and exploring of this theology may, according to the author, contribute to a better realization of the liturgical renewal, that in practice confronts various obstacles and difficulties. Yet these do not cross out the right of the reform itself which is invariably positively evaluated by the recent popes. Utter rejection of the liturgical reform would mean the lack of acceptance of the conciliar ecclesiology. The existence of two forms of the Roman rite within one Church is possible only under condition of mutual respect and appreciation as well as on the ground of positive reception of the entire teaching of the Vatican II (including liturgy), which is a duty of all catholics.
