Msgr. James P. Moroney, executive director of the U.S. bishops' Secretariat for Liturgy, said the revised norms are effective immediately, but it is up to each bishop to determine how to implement any liturgical change in his diocese.

Therefore, this is going to continue until the heterodox bishops are gone.

Really, I do wonder if part of the motivation for this particular liturgical change (which I do think is a good one) is to see how long it takes the U.S. bishops to come into comformity. I mean, it should *not* be a contentious point. It's simple and straightforward, and it is clear that it was supposed to take effect immediately.

In St. Louis, I was serving at the cathedral basilica when Archbishop Burke was saying Mass the Sunday after Redemptionis Sacramentum was issued--and he had already implemented all the changes, including this one.

Yes, the same old loophole mentality shysters at work.
