It's obvious what the Vatican prefers in this case.

It's just as obvious that many American bishops don't give a rodent's rump what the Vatican prefers.

Somehow, I don't think this is a problem limited to the Americas.

There is no doubt about what the Vatican wants--and there is no doubt that it will be up to the Bishops to make it happen.

Altar girls are transitory and Des. nailed it--they're an afterthought in the document, and should be similar at Mass.

Since there IS no such thing as "Liturgical Dance," the Vatican didn't have to address it. But they certainly nailed "Clown" Masses and Polka Masses, too.

Of course, there will be disobedience--and screeching from the usual quarters: the schismatics of the Poofterwonk persuasion, and the SSPX persuasion.

Nothing new under the Sun.
