He is known for opposing any efforts to reform the reform, considering them a "step backwards." In short, for those of you who want to see more reverence, awe, and fidelity to the text in the liturgy, this is among the worst possible choices. How the US bishops would appoint a bishop who openly opposes the Vatican on liturgical matters as president of their liturgical committee is beyond me--Where are the orthodox bishops on this??!!
Please flood your bishop's office with complaints about this selection and let them know that the time for the do-it-yourself-liturgy is over.
I see that Trautman is the Bishop who suspended Fr. Trigilio for telling the truth.
